The New York Public Library has retired the "Book is a Dream" mug on the left and replaced it with the new mug on the right. You can get them from the @nypl store. All proceeds go to the library (I don't see a penny from it although sometimes I get a free mug.) shop.nypl.org/

@neilhimself That's cool! Books—and libraries—are awesome.

Speaking of libraries, here's more good news! Did you know that for a limited time, individuals in the US, ages 13-21, can apply for a free Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) eCard, gaining access to BPL's eBook collection and learning databases. Great To apply, email:
booksunbanned@bklynlibrary.org

Part of BPL's "Books Unbanned" initiative: bklynlibrary.org/books-unbanne

Please

@neilhimself makes me long for a less populated/ light polluted country. The universe is so very beautiful yet so few get to appreciate it's awesome immensenes

@neilhimself looks like the fountain of all human life. You know what I’m talking about.

@neilhimself "the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."

Finally a starry night here on Waiheke. I took a few photographs, using a Pixel 6 and a tissue box as a makeshift tripod.

More stars in last night's sky. This time with additional cloud action...

Neil Gaiman

There were three men came out of the West
Three kings both great and high
And they have sworn a solemn oath
John Mastodon must die.

They took a tank and ran him down
With bullets in his head
And they have sworn a solemn oath
John Mastodon was dead

But when the Spring came kindly on
And showers began to fall
John Mastodon got up again
And did surprise them all...

@neilhimself Fairport Convention should do the musical version.

Okay. NOW I believe the fediverse might actually stick.

@neilhimself I will forever hear Steve Winwood singing this song!

Is there an app or an easy way to harvest, download, etc your Twitter DMs? I'm downloading my Twitter data but I'm realising there are conversations etc with people going back to 2008 in Twitter DMs I'd love to be able to access if the site goes away. When you download Twitter Data it gives you your DMs... but with no information on who you were talking to. It looks like this, and is thus a very special kind of useless:

It's my birthday! So here's a photo from the Good Omens 2 shoot. It's Crowley (the lovely David Tennant) but the screen I was watching on was pixilating in interesting ways, and it turned him into a Francis Bacon sort of a demon.

Neil Gaiman

Hullo. So this is Mastodon, eh? Well, I'm here. And to celebrate, here's a photo I took yesterday in Kingston NY of Good Omens director Douglas directing An Unnamed Actor (on the other side of the glass) in Episode 2 of Good Omens Season 2 (Coming Next Summer).

@neilhimself I love the horrendous mess of wires on the floor under the desk...nice to know even professional sound engineers can't figure out what to do with the bloody cords!

@neilhimself Mastodon keeps getting better and better. Thank you and welcome!

Neil Gaiman

I'm here. It's me. Magic!
