what used to be a nice, well-proportioned New England family home with a garden, now overshadowed by a three-door garage that is, I cannot emphasize this enough, bigger than the generously-sized family home in every dimension

a zoom to show that there is a big angry sign stuck up against the garage: "WARNING: Negligent Town of Duxbury Failed to Identify Extensive Fire Code Violations, Fire and Safety Hazards on this property. Legal experts obtained for something-something prosecution"

in front of the sign is parked what I assume is a very expensive red sportscar in a protective cover, because they can't put it in the deathtrap garage.

the actual main difference between ancient Greek and ancient Chinese philosophy, visualized #philosophy

(LONG ALT TEXT WARNING) two columns of text, one of which is several times longer than the other:

First column: “Whom, then, do I call educated, since I exclude the arts and sciences and specialties? First, those who manage well the circumstances which they encounter day-by-day, who possess a judgment which is accurate in meeting accusations as they arise and rarely misses the expeditious course of action; next, those who are decent and honorable in their intercourse with all with whom they associate, tolerating easily and good-naturedly what is unpleasant or offensive in others and being themselves as agreeable as it is possible to be; furthermore, those who hold their pleasures always under control and are not unduly overcome by their misfortunes, bearing up under them bravely and in a manner worthy of our common nature; finally, and most important of all, those who are not spoiled by successes and do not desert their true selves and become arrogant, but hold their ground steadfastly as intelligent people, not rejoicing in the good things which have come to them through chance rather than those which through their own nature and intelligence are theirs from birth.” – Isocrates, “Panathenaicus”

Second column: “If someone marries for virtue over beauty, would do anything for their parents, would give their life for their country, is a good friend and trustworthy, but is uneducated – actually, they sound quite educated to me.” — Zixia, “The Analects of Confucius”

Nor shall he be permitted to communicate his compositions to any private individuals, until he shall have shown them to the appointed judges and the guardians of the law, and they are satisfied with them.

Someone asked if it actually writes well or is just a show piece. Yes, it’s a proper pen for real use, though this nib is very thin by my standards. But then again, that means I can write very small Chinese with it… #fountainpen #fountainpens

Handwriting sample of the Platinum 3776: well, I’ve refilled it with Robert Oster Fire and Ice as a treat, though I forgot that most papers won’t sheen it like Tomoe River does. Also this nib is so thin. But that majes it a good pick for writing Chinese.

Pencil sketch:

READERS ASK THE DARK GODS: Whose block toys are these, anyway?

Kapriel, nervously: Oh, it's just an artistic conceit. Why would anyone have a set of dolls of all my enemies?

Varodahn, arms casually crossed: They're Kapriel's. He plays with them like he's six years old.

Varodahn, condescendingly smothering Kapriel with affection: Did you know that if you betray a secret of the God of Secrets, you gain unlimited power over his soul?
