Working on a comic loosely inspired by another historically minded architect, Augustus Pugin. The first arc explores Rochester Castle, but I'd love to take our heroes to Notre Dame or Carcassonne to meet Le-Duc.

The largest infrastructure projects currently being built in the US appear to be data centers and detention centers. The AI boom has coincided with ICE becoming the most heavily funded government agency. It's hard not to see a connection: This is the architectures of digital fascism
The ‘88 castles are peak nostalgia for me. Loved those Robin Hood sets.
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. The book that defined a genre. Charming, if a bit uneven and on-the-nose. Could’ve used more from Nesta, the best character). I’m glad I read it but probably won’t continue the series. Oh, and one more thing: WHY DOES THE FATHER NOT HAVE A NAME?!?
Case Histories by Kate Atkinson. Doesn’t quite live up to the promise of the premise, but an engaging mystery nonetheless. The characters’ quirks feel earned and relationships evolve in fun and curious ways. Looking forward to Life after Life
January reads. Mostly finishing up the gifted books from the holidays. Not my usual, but each was worth reading.

The Wild Robot by Peter Brown. Cute. Quick read. Kid-friendly tale of found family and environmental interdependence against a subtle backdrop of late stage capitalism. My kid gave it to me and I wish they would read it.
Gothic Tales by Edgar Allan Poe: Two classics and one new-to-me story. Poe’s dilettantish interest in interior design and architecture shines through in this collection of tales where buildings become tombs.
