Thoroughly manky day out there. The mancub seems to have sprained his tail. How the hell do you sprain a tail?

Nothing like starting your day by being on the phone with the bank for 35 minutes because you dared to try and pay for a holiday for your partner and the fucking app locked you out twice so now the bank have decided it’s a fraudulent transaction.

OPERATIONS: So over the last few days I’ve generated the core ideas for two new projects, for two different artists, who have both approved them, so I’m updating the boards and scheduling. These are both things for the newsletter, which I have put on pause until 11 January 2026 because time pressure is a real thing right now.
STATUS: See above – all in all, I’m an hour behind.
READING: settling into CODEX 1962, Sjon (UK) (US+). I love Sjon. I started it some while ago, and then decided to put it down and start it again in winter.
LISTENING:

MISSION CONTROL: I can be contacted via the Cheng Caplan Company or Inkwell Management. Link in masthead to join my free newsletter.
