Apologies for interrupting, but that animation style is mid century–not 80s

“As Above, So Below”, Collage. 🌿💫

Floral collage art. Half of the flower is cut out and showing negative space through an engraving of a garden (the roots, lower leaves, and the lower half of the stem is white), also surrounded by cutout stars. The upper half of the flower is the cutout of the garden engraving on a white background surrounded by cutout stars. Orange hand drawn stars sit upon the flower-heads.

After playing @austinwalker.bsky.social's Realis, my suspicion that this game is the heading for a new chapter in tabletop design has turned into belief. Instead of dreaming, an alternate ruleset came to me last night. Here is the gist of it: thepsychicmaelstrom.pika.page/posts/silaer...

thepsychicmaelstrom.pika.page

Silaer: a setting-agnostic, no-prep ruleset inspired by Realis - The Psychic Maelstrom

Yesterday I played Realis and I can’t wait to play it again. In the meantime, I’ve been doodling an alternate ruleset based on my experiences. One that can hopefully accomodate...

I'm slowly reading the odyssey and I can see why it has become a central myth of the privately educated, concerned as it is with kings and inheritance and hosting, ownership of land and property and people, I imagine stories told around the hearths of peasants perhaps had a different eye

if you are any kind of creative or artist or writer you *have* to understand sex workers and porn/erotica artists/authors as being members of the same class as us. to the extent society recognizes a difference between "legitimate" art and porn, it's only as a tenuous, convenient, temporary fiction.

Today I am obsessesing over the covers of E. R. Eddison's "The Worm Ouroboros" and later Zimiamvian Trilogy illustrated by native midwesterner Barbara Remington. Just an absolutely phenomenal house style for Ballantine Books.
