I still have the scars on my knees from doing a header over the handlebars 26 years ago (funny, I don't remember what caused the accident!) I was extruding gravel months later.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have scars on top of scars. And given I grew up before we knew, oh, you should protect brains, I am damn lucky. My knees are both really trashed though and both elbows. I had three bad wrecks growing up. I forget that it is even possible for people to have unscarred knees.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh! One of my favourite artists as a kid, Leo Dillon, has died. IO9 has an article with all his sff covers, but I knew him from kids' books. I didn't know he had such an extensive reputation among adults.
Ashanti to Zulu was a great book--it had one African tribe per letter, with a relevant illustration and a couple paragraphs about them as a people. Back in the day I could rattle off all 26. He and his wife were my second favourite artist to Tom Feelings (And Moja Means One).

Oh, Beau. Ladyhawke is a classic! Doomed love! Charming pickpockets! Villains!

How the fuck? The kid who plays Joffrey is 20! I gotta reshuffle some things in my head, but this article: [link] made him sound older than the fifteen year old I was envisioning.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
