Links: Newsletters, Art, & More

Workspace with computer, journal, books, coffee, and glasses.Hey all! It’s Wednesday Links time!

I had a hectic week. My Lit Crawl Mad-Libs event with Katalina Gamarra was a wonderful success. Thank you for all who stopped by! Friday night was my partner’s birthday. You can see a full recap of the night on my Instagram, including the Princess Mononoke terrarium I made. There was a delicious dinner. I made tiramisu. A good time was had by all.

I’m also going a little stir crazy and hoping to get away for the weekend, but because New England beaches aren’t great and they aren’t available year-round, going to one for the weekend is bananas expensive during the summer. I need to make friends with people who have Cape houses or something.

Thank you to Liz Spurlock for sending this sci-fi short film our way! Might add a watch to my weekend plans!

Another reader submitted link! Malaraa passed along this adorable artist’s Instagram. They make cute fantasy creatures and event have a Twitch stream where they work on art!

Sarah sent me a link to this newsletter called Hugging the Bar, which is very much in my House of Wheels. Here’s what it’s about:

Hugging the Bar is a free weekly newsletter discussing the culture of craft beer and beverage alcohol. Essays, reporting, Q&A’s, and guest posts cover how we relate to what we drink, where the industry fails its people, advancing DEI efforts, toxic workplaces, drinks writing burnout, and much more.

I’m halfway through Our Flag Means Death and fully on board ALL THE SHIPS. Vanity Fair has done another lie detector video, but with Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby.

Don’t forget to share what cool or interesting things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!

    So glad to have seen the sci-fi short film RED STRING OF FATE (thanks Liz Spurlock!). I had just read a transient Instagram post on the ways that media gender and demean [female-d] AI. After hunting for that Instagram post for two days without success, I was able to find an article that addresses many of the issues from that post. It’s best to begin about halfway down with the section titled, “Fiction reinforces stereotypes” and continue to the end. RED STRING was excellent at subverting some of those stereotypes while diving into others.

    I’m late to the party but I love Bianca Roman-Stumpff! I found one of her prints while I was at Universal Orlando a few years ago. It’s a very serious looking octopus carrying a lollipop and I just had to have it. It’s the only of her prints that I have, that isn’t framed yet because I feel like it needs a ridiculous over the top frame to do it justice.

    I also have an adorable fluffy owl print, and one of a dinosaur in space that sits behind me for zoom meeting backgrounds.
