Sunday morning Pompey.

I was so excited to see @caitlinstarling.com 's new book, Milkteeth, pop up on the October ALA ALCs, and was even happier when I realized it contains the dream I have had ever since deciding to enter medical school - that a vampire would come to me asking for help understanding their own physiology.

In one hour. I also found out I will be able to share the recording.

Vimeo is phasing out its a la carte video on demand service and migrating everyone to its OTT system. Downside: the individual v.o.d. links for my various shows will soon be broken. Upside: I've now consolidated the shows in one place. distanceovertime.vhx.tv

late to the party but: holy shit The Magnus Archives is so entirely my jam and I’m enjoying it more than any piece of media I’ve consumed in at least a year, possibly more
