What can a friend do to try and convince you that trouble's the cost of being alive?
Good Monday! I slept an hour and have to fight with both my insurance and the city parking department. Have a small number of links.
1. Thanks to the ongoing movement to eat the invasive green crab, I have discovered the existence of Maine Garum. Of course I want to order a bottle of their fish sauce; I haven't had garum in the kitchen since our last apartment. Then I want to order their crab sauce, because intense oceanic funk is most attractive to me.
2. Since I last checked in on Dermot Turing, he has produced two books of obvious interest to me: Enigma Traitors: The Struggle to Lose the Cipher War (2023) and Misread Signals: How History Overlooked Women Codebreakers (2025). The first makes me hope he has written about Leo Marks and Englandspiel, the second is right on.
3. Have a photoset of Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton outside a pub in Shepperton, 1963. They are obviously in the middle of filming Becket (1964) and just as obviously are the modern AU. "He's drunk and wenched his way through London, but he's thinking all the time."
I have draft schedules for both Readercon and NecronomiCon Providence. I like the looks of both of them. Wish my constitution luck.

Ha, I meant to link you to that a while ago! I'm glad it found you anyway. Very sorry about the lack of sleep and bureacracy though. <3

I appreciate being thought of! It's a good bulwark against bureaucracy.

The eel garum sounds delicious! Alas, I am an ocean away.
