I write from the depths of the green basket chair, where Autolycus is slowly claiming more of my lap (and my lap desk) than Bertie. Have some links.
1. I had not heard of Mr. Malcolm's List (2022) before this evening, but the original proof-of-concept short is terrific and may double as an inadvertent book trailer. I have meant to see Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù in something ever since this photograph.
2. Nor did I know that Angela Carter sang folk songs as well as working with their themes and language, but it says so in the notes for Polly Paulusma's Invisible Music (2021) and I'm delighted.
3. Fern Maddie's "Hares on the Mountain" is not quite a witch song, but I will now consider her acceptable casting for John the Balladeer.

selkie, a week ago when I had no time to do anything about it: Cristina Mîrzoi recommends Forget the Sleepless Shores (2018). "I am in awe of this collection."
5. I just like this fanart for Gregory Peck's Captain Ahab.
My godchild called shortly before midnight. My interim phone is dreadful, but it enabled me to take their call and also send them evidence of cat.
P.S. And after I had come upstairs for the night, my mother heard a stealthy little scratching at the door at the bottom of the stairs to the summer kitchen and the next thing we knew an intrepid astronaut was standing foursquare on his little black feet on the sun porch, looking around him with lime-green curious eyes. His sister was waiting at the base for the report from her advance scout. He was returned unceremoniously, wriggling and protesting, without even a medal. Then I ran around the outside of the house with some rope to secure the door that opens directly from the summer kitchen into the driveway just in case Hestia decided it was the next tantalizing frontier. The door into the house doesn't have a deadbolt, but I do in fact lock it every time. Our little safecrackers grow up so fast.
