I’ve been making stuff lately but it’s not games stuff. Quilting and bookbinding and learning more visible mending stitches and making lanterns out of glass slides.

Realtor: the kids, they like Backrooms now, right? Let’s do a real liminal horror look for this house

A text conversation. From the sender a Zillow link followed by a text that reads “what in the analog horror”

Two photographs deeply desaturated except for the reds. First shows the back of the house. The second a cluttered back yard showing an hvac unit

Two shots of the interior of the house with a desaturated filter that only
Shows reds - in this case the walls are a blush pink and there is a red brick fireplace. Image one is shot into the light of an open front door, so a living room is cast in deep shadows. Image two shows the back of a couch that is pressed to the front of a fireplace

Two shots of the interior of the house, showing a heavily paneled room with a painting of a lion on the wall, and a thick shag carpet. In front of a window is a walker

Here to inform you I have never ceased my bullshit, but hey you can make printable fabric with freezer paper and an ancient sheet and print Godzilla on it if you want.

Think Hozier but a guy who is going lower than his natural register:

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Telling myself I won't go there
Oh, but I know that I won't care
Tryna wash away all the blood I've spilt
This lust is a burden that we both share
Two sinners can't atone from a lone prayer
Souls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt

I have fallen into a spell and just keep making these quilted tapestries. This doesn’t even account for the 3 that are waiting to be finished and bound.

Do I know any folks obsessed with mid century furniture? I just acquired a dresser and chiffarobe set from an estate sale that I love but I am incredibly curious as to where it comes from.

This house was always going to be a no because it was surrounded by an industrial park of sorts but I was fascinated on how it got less level the higher you went.

A view of a doorway that shows the top of the door is not level with the ceiling

A nauseating view down a third floor staircase that shows a tilted staircase

We toured this home which looked ok in pictures but which was an absolute roller coaster inside. Not pictured but the LVF is actually cracked because the floor is bowing so much

A photo from the perspective of the ground of an empty home. The angles show that the floor is absolutely not level

Like this kind of depressing flip in Brookline that is also on a comical slope.

My @papershoot.bsky.social camera, which I take out regularly and which is (clearly) taking the toll of time. (The pink band is gaffer tape)

An acrylic cut case for a papershoot camera, held in a hand. The bottom of the camera is held together with pink tape. The back corner is glued back together. It is missing a screw

The front of the camera - clear case showing functioning interior workings. The bottom is a gaffer taped band and it is missing a screw

My handwriting is a little all over the place.

On a small white card in pencil is handwriting in kind of cursive, followed by all caps, and then a mix.

It reads: hello world, this is what my handwriting looks like. But I also love to write in all caps. There is a lot of variation, tbh.

My latest quilted tapestry - a block made of cyanotyped fabric based on photos I shot at local indie wrestling shows.

A quilted block on grass. The block is a central image of a man stretched across the top rope of a wrestling ring, surrounded by a smaller ring of cyanotype blue and white blocks

A close up shot of the corner of the quilt block showing small precise stitching on the binding and a more detailed shot of the wrestlers in ring.

Throwback to that time I was the person in math problems and had 16 guitars for a game that I hand painted. #altctrl

Or about how, despite my best efforts, a portion of my brain is dedicated to trivia related to Harry Potter and that’s why I know the books aren’t worth compromising values: unwinnable.com/2022/11/30/e...

Harry Potter is a work of fiction that is incapable of interrogating its own problems, and despite the wide and well-loved greater wizarding universe, the world-building falls apart on closer examination. Fanwork has, for years, propped up a franchise that is effectively a house of cards of hot button trauma and mid-tier fantasy.

Fanwork is labeled as “derivative work” because it fundamentally builds off of a previously established work. There is an implication in the term derivative that the resulting product is somehow lesser, and sometimes that is borne out in the product. But there is one thing that Harry Potter fanwork does that J. K. Rowling has never done – actually interrogate and contend with the heavy issues she broaches.
