Dear Omar, you sixteen-year-old (and counting) marvellous whiskered one

Recently landed: Dear Omar, you sixteen-year-old (and counting) marvellous whiskered one, a new post on High Up in the Trees (by Gracia)

Little bony haunches, little skinny tail, the old man is still purring

Meanwhile,

@stickyinstitute's #Tonerpalooza at @library_vic was a well-timed pearl. Lovely to see you there, you bright and beautiful creatures, @bibliovita and Mr. Cello, @deborahkleinartist, @shanejonesart, @pasadenamansions, @sqjen, @peterhaby, @conceptlib, @kennypittock, and other dears without a handle, Marian, Scott, et al., and those of you we met face-to-face over the paper tails table. Thank-you Sticky, flowered or otherwise, for your tireless work, seamless planning, and big zine life love. A community of like-minded souls in the library, and a great many rainbows.

In light of the @ausballet's imminent announcement of their 2018 season in Sydney today, and last night's @ausdance_victoria awards in Melbourne, you can read my response to 'Symphony in C', drawn up especially for @fjordreview, and reposted to #Marginalia. http://www.graciahaby.com/home/2017/9/25/dem-dancing-bones ⚫️

And from the library of photocopied tales (thanks for another marvellous, seamless, and bright #zinefair, @stickyinstitute) to the annual Australian Dance Awards 2017 we go. Quickly, quickly, lace them skates. (The @ausdance_victoria awards recognise and honour professional Australian dance artists who have made an outstanding contribution to Australian dance. See more on @fjordreview's Stories shortly.) (Image credit: 'The Dark Chorus' (Lucy Guerin Inc), photographed by Gregory Lorenzutti)

"Round like a beetle. Round like a ball. Like a plate, a coin, and a colour wheel. Round like the full moon, hanging high above." Or a coil of text in an edition of 'Round, circle, dot', resting upon our 'Looped' display #inthelibrary (#LaTrobeReadingRoom, until the 26th of November).

With cats in mind, we're looking for are to calling in on our paper tailed and wild ones in the #LaTrobeReadingRoom this weekend. (It has been a little while and we are curious to hear what they have seen and read.) The @stickyinstitute's #zine fair, #Tonerpalooza, at @library_vic, is happening tomorrow and Sunday. We have a stall on the Sunday, and would love to see you there.

A pair of big, unblinking, golden eyes. In her 'safe house', in our bathroom, this is all we have seen of our new little #RSPCA #fostercat. With thanks to Henri Rousseau (detail from 'The Dream', 1910, in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art). #timid 🐅

We have a new #RSPCA #fostercat in our care. A tiny little #bengal who has yet to see much of the world, and we've yet to see much of her. She'll be staying with us a while as we work on helping her with her timidity.

And this fine white feline is Mystique (No. 789225). She was tricky to capture, as she preferred cuddles, nuzzles, and ear rubs. She is 8-years-old and available for #adoption at the #RSPCA East Burwood shelter.

This butterscotch sweetheart is one of many #adoptables currently at the #RSPCA East Burwood shelter. Sprinkles (No. 875851) is a 4-year-old ginger girl in need of a quiet home, and she is in possession of a wonderful little trill.

To complete a set of five, the last four titles (all edition 4/6), delivered to @douglasstewartfinebooks. 'No longer six feet under', 'Disrupted and rumpled', 'Dim wood, spark bright' and 'A warmed pebble in my hand' join 'I think all the world is falling', a series which can be read in any order, as 'Looped', currently at @library_vic, shows. You can curl this tale however you please, like a Cheshire Cat of parts.

Jury Herz’s #MORGIANA (1972), with or without the siamese cat. Nope, #JuryHerz's Morgiana because of the siamese cat. And in my mind, I'll read the sisters, Klára and Viktorie Trangan, as one character. (Herz was "forbidden to portray #schizophrenia by the Czech administration, who deemed it sadomasochistic," hence the two sisters. Rhiannon Dalglish, Senses of Cinema). Paint my lids blue, and saturate the #palette, just be sure to pass the siamese cat. *purrs*
