Stick with me long enough and you'll figure me out. I'm running twtd on an Alpine Linux VPS, and mostly post through Twtxt.app. I'll probably leave if it gets too popular.

    Ticket booked. Extra suitcase for all the books I've bought while here, and the last of my 2000AD comic collection the old man has graciously been minding for the past 7 years (I have over 1000 progs). I try and rid myself of attachments to things, but these ones have a tight grip on me. I almost sold them once, but chickened out at the last minute.

    Sydney rare book fair surprised me. First editions of the likes of Philip K Dick and Kenneth Cook for ~$1500. There was a lot of selling activity so I guess prices were fair. I imagine the personal libraries of these collectors would be pretty amazing. Cool to browse, but I don't think I'll ever be a collector.

    On the way out I ran into F (school mate haven't seen for 7+ years). Small world. Had lunch together. I enjoyed being a part of his lunching at his regular food hall, seeing him say hello to people he knew.

    Later, Jura Books was great. Broke out in a sweat after a sweltering walk over. I must've clocked 20,000+ steps today. A small shop amongst bordered up premises along Parramatta Rd, run by volunteers only 3 half days a week. Their focus is books on freedom, equality and anarchy. I picked up a couple with their premise hitting home - Never Work: Essays against the sale of life and Nietzsche and Anarchy: Psychology for free spirits, ontology for social war.

    The difference between the $1500 Philip K Dick book, and the $25 books from Jura have given me much thought.

    @lyse Yes maybe its always many different things - it's fleshing something out or simply sharing something found interesting, but also connecting with others by releasing it. I probably don't need to think so much on it.
