Si vous aimez les belles #reliures, anciennes ou contemporaines, il vous reste quelques jours pour découvrir la présentation proposée par la Réserve des livres rares sur le site François-Mitterrand de la #BnF. C'est en galerie des donateurs jusqu'au 22 octobre et, vraiment, ça vaut le détour : il n'y a que des pièces d'exception qui ne sortent pas souvent !
Je n'ai pas ajouté de photos parce qu'entre les reflets et les ombres, c'est impossible de faire une image correcte. Mais on peut se rattraper en consultant la base #Reliures qui vient tout juste d'être enrichie :

The strength of the Lancashire books is the sense of place and the way that they treat the landscape. Gilbert Woolfall has inherited his uncle's fell land house. Then there's a fire that destroys the study and kills the housekeeper. Throw in some sheep rustling and there's a lot to try and sort out. It's not just purely picturesque, there are issues of trying to get started in farming in the fells and the fate of the elderly in a rural environment. #books@bookstodon
A Ray Bradbury Night in Symphony Space in NYC on November 1st. And I'm so happy to be hosting a night of Bradbury stories. Three amazing readers and me. Come and listen.
I need a book rec.
I'm looking for found family, smart writing, diversity, and a happy ending. Any genre will do, just give me an escape hatch from my current worries.
@alepiad@FediFollows can be great for discovery, for general tech content @malwaretech, @arstechnica, @GossiTheDog, and @shanselman all pop up for me regularly with interesting posts. There are also "group" accounts like @philosophy that automatically share any posts from their members, discovering those allowed me to see a lot of interesting discussions without needing to follow a whole lot of people!
Menschen, der Verlag braucht Soli, mir zieht gerade eine Steuernachzahlung das letzte bisschen Boden weg. Bitte gönnt euch, wenn ihr noch ein paar Euro locker habt, was im Verlagsshop und macht auf allen Plattformen Werbung. Würden mehr Menschen etwas vom Frohmann Verlag mitbekommen, könnte er vermutlich ohne solche Hilferufe existieren – das ewige Indieproblem.
@Frohmann vielleicht magst du noch #bookstodon@bookstodon und #bookbubble nachsetzen, auch wenn da viele englischsprachige sind, erreicht es doch auch deutsche Bücherwürmer

Kleiner Tipp, wenn es sich um Gewerbesteuer handeln sollte, Stundungsantrag bei der Stadtverwaltung stellen. Die sind normalerweise zugänglicher als das Finanzamt. Wobei man beim Finanzamt den Antrag ebenfalls stellen kann. Die meinen nur immer, sie sitzen am längeren Hebel.
Hey @neilhimself any advice for an aspiring comic book writer who has familial tremors so he can't draw worth a damn and has entire worlds he could partner with some artists on? I can't afford to commission entire comics with my current job, and I've been searching for an artist or artists to partner with for years. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Loved the second season of good omens btw! Can't wait for season 3!
@neilhimself I just moved out here to Austin, I'm not sure how prevalent the art department is at UT. I have yet to avail myself of the local library, been meaning to do that. Those are some good options, thank you good sir for your Sage advice. :)
Any ideas? I’m looking for articles, maybe even research, on the impact on grief when family members or friends die overseas & you can’t really help from Australia (or wherever you live). For instance, war zones, natural disasters, human-made disasters & the like. I can’t find anything. 🤞#grief#bereavement#mourning
