Birthday Book 🎂📚
Attention-Seeking Behaviour by @aeavvw.bsky.social has been lying in wait (in wrapping paper) for my birthday. Finally get to peak inside 📖
Had a great time; was lovely to meet everyone (in the physical, non-digital realm). I look suitably grumpy in the photograph here but I can assure you I was highly focused and enjoying myself. Also, everyone must buy a copy of @guillermostitch.bsky.social's 'The Coast of Everything' double please
It was quite a room. Thanks to everyone who came.

Issue 21 of Exacting Clam is officially out today and just as stunning on the inside as it is on the front and back covers. The new digital-only subscription which will soon deliver the entirety of back issues online.
