Trade and limited edition covers for The Best of Catherynne M. Valente, Volume One

Publisher: Subterranean Press

AD/Design: Bill Schafer and Gail Cross

I was so sad to hear Subterranean Press will be closing at the end of next year! I loved working on these covers, and it has always been so smooth working with them.

Hedda Gabler

[funeral]

But I'm inclined to think that we're all ghosts . . . ; it's not only the things that we've inherited from our fathers and mothers that live on in us, but all sorts of old ideas and old dead beliefs, and things of that sort. They're not actually alive in us, but they're rooted there all the same, and we can't rid ourselves of them. I've only to pick up a newspaper, and when I read it I seem to see ghosts gliding between the lines. I should think there must be ghosts all over the country—as countless as grains of sand. And we are, all of us, so pitifully afraid of the light.

Henrik Ibsen, Ghosts and Other Plays

Stories never live alone: they are the branches of a family that we have to trace back, and forward. In the rapture of her sea crossing on the back of a white bull, Europa conceals within herself, like still undiscovered powers, the destinies of her love-crazed granddaughters Phaedra and Ariadne…  who would one day hang themselves out of shame and des­peration. And down among the celestial roots of this story tree we come across the wanderings of the mad heifer, the ancestral lo, who again holds within herself the image of another mad heifer, mother of Phaedra and Ariadne: Pasiphae. And she too hung herself in shame.

Roberto Calasso, The Marriage of Cadmus & Harmony, translated by Tim Parks

Seeing people I know and like using AI is making me understand the protagonists of those old time sci fi dystopia's.

"Oh I don't normally use AI, I just wanted it to plan my trip"

You lived on this planet for decades, you know what you like, there are hundreds of websites where you can type into any search engine " things to do in [area]" and have at least a hundred different options.

"Oh I only use it so I can figure out what to make during the week with what I have"

The most popular website as you type in "recipes" into google have sections where you click dinner- quick and easy and those usually rely on staples + 1 or 2 items. I found 30 recipes on chicken alone.

"I had a writing idea, so I typed a few sentences into Chat GPT and I was able to write 20 pages with it."

When a book is bad, oh well, the failed artistry of one rube, maybe co-authors. But when a movie is bad, and you consider the military-like scale of production, man-hours, the money involved: you must understand, it feels like I’ve been at war with the world for 29 years.

obsessed with this interaction where someone has apparently been living with the sincere belief that misha collins threw the shoe at bush

[vifetoile]

better version of the destiel meme where misha collins says "i hate you" and then throws a shoe at george w bush
