It's not by him. It's a collection of short stories from other authors for the Sandman source material. Gaiman does write a blurb before each entry about how he knows the author and how the story fits into the world.

Currently reading Sandman:Book of Dreams. It's fantasy. This one of my husband's books that we've had forever and I've never read. It's an anthology of short stories by various authors and it's surprisingly good. Would definitely recommend even if you aren't familiar with the source material.

I agree that it is unclear to folks that Lemmy is not a platform and this causes frustration and disappointment for new users. It probably should be clearer on join-lemmy.org that this whole thing is just a bunch of servers talking to each other.

Yes unfortunately it's common to all tarantulas. Some species the males live longer than others but their sole purpose is mating. I believe this guy in the photo made it to 3-4 years old. He actually lost a limb and regrew it over several more molts.

Ngl that would be terrifying to come across unexpectedly.

Seeing all these photos never ceases to amaze me.

This week my African grey has decided that the smoke alarm beep is his noise of choice and there is nothing I can do about it.

I had to do an elimination diet before testing for food allergies. For two weeks I had a cup of rice for all three meals a day. Now I really like rice but on one of these days I had to attend a working catered lunch with some coworkers. It was incredibly embarrassing eating my small cup of rice in this meeting while all my coworkers had an amazing catered lunch. I got a whole lot of "you're really committed to your diet" comments.

Parrots need the same level of commitment and resources as a child. Think of having a permanent 3 year old that welds scissors constantly (beak) for a minimum of 30 years.
