  1. Had to “Draw a bunny" for a work training thing and there weren’t any rules so I printed someone else’s garfield sonic chimera, placed the paper out over my ipad, and used an apple pencil to trace their illustration into a notes.app note.

    nothing about this is mine except for the ears, tail, and color

    a garfield-sonic-bunny illustration bastardization I lined in apple notes over another artists’s illustartion with garfield’s legs, crossed arms, head, and stripes, Sonic’s spikes and shoes, and (my only additions) a rabbits ears and tail, watercolored with gray fur and carrot-orange shoes

  2. Content warning: cw #sfbike

    People double park in the center turn lane between chavez and 22n on Sundays mostly, to go to https://realitysf.com or when the lot overflows at the https://www.driscollsmortuary.com

    Reality SFrealitysf.com

    afaik there is no legitimate other reason for the center lane to even exist. Lefts from Valencia are not causing traffic jams like lefts off of east bound Cesar Chavez do

    Given they can just as easily double park on the new death-lane, why didn’t the city extend the death-lane to Mission??

    #sfbike

    the center lane should instead be an overhead-wire trolly (modern or historical, w/e) that just bounces between mission and market all day long, back and forth, back and forth. I wonder what the headways would be with such a short route and where the shunting or passing spots might fit?

  5. Fourteen: Greg Egan again, “Luminous”. It is out of print, but available self published by the author. The stories from just after those in Axiomatic (previously: https://mastodon.social/@gravely/109661276920611083),

  8. Munro has been a welcome break from the masculine, genre-dominated shit I’ve been reading. Shelving this one my shelf next to a pile of Murakami with only "Everyone In Silico” by Jim Munroe ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/342203.Everyone_in_Silico) between, as a mediator of sorts, makes for a heck of a counterpoint.

    Unlike (or, like?) Murakami, Munro’s women age (natch) and have their own experiences, inner lives, and desires. Munro’s also a slightly more interesting prosist (to me).

    gravely (@gravely@mastodon.social)Attached: 1 image fourth book, "Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage", Haruki Murakami I've had this on the shelf for a while (years, even) after catching up on Murakami and taking a good long break (furthermore, I think this was a gift, or used rack sale find, even) because it's all very samesy. I picked this off the to-read pile because it looked the shortest. I think crit of his lesser stuff like this is totally on the mark and fair but also "it me" so, I enjoyed it. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41022133-colorless-tsukuru-tazaki-and-his-years-of-pilgrimageMastodon

  9. Thirteenth book of '23, “Wilderness Station" ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25194123-a-wilderness-station) by Alice Munro (previously issued as "Selected Stories” ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14281.Selected_Stories)).

    Wow! Loved it.

    The “Selected Stories” title has had time to be rated and critiqued by much more careful readers. Lots of comparisons to Chekov, who I suppose I’ll check out next. I’ll also definitely be getting the companion collection, Family Furnishings, Selected Stories 1995-2014.
