Nuptial Rites This piece was inspired by "The Color of Pomegranates" by Parajanov.
The illustration shows a wedding ceremony. There's a woman in the left side of the image. She wear a headpiece decorated with flowers and holds a large egg in her arms. There are stairs leading to an elevated stage with musicians playing lute on both sides of the stage. There's a skeleton in a festive clothes riding a white horse in the center of the image. There are festive robes behind them. The room is decorated with tiles and there are two roosters in front of the stage. There are some poppy flowers in the foreground. The artwork is colorful with much red, blue and beige.

If you're a writer, research & write stories about anti-fascist resistance. If you're a game designer, make games about resistance. If you're a teacher, teach about the history of resistance. Every culture worker alive right now has a pressing responsibility to do this. Our lives depend on it

Jeu d'aventure textuel illustré comme dans le temps sur #Amstrad mais modernisé, #gratuit, cherche joueuses et joueurs susceptibles de l'apprécier en dehors des cercles initiés. Les augures prédisent un échec de buzz. Déjouons-les ? narkhos.itch.io/oremus #jeuvideo #gaming #amstrad #pixelart
Capture d'écran du jeu, composé d'une image, d'un texte descriptif et d'une invite de commande. En théorie, l'image n'est pas nécessaire pour jouer, mais nous n'avons pas encore pu tester l'accessibilité avec un lecteur d'écran de ce jeu textuel. N'hésitez pas à faire des retours à ce sujet, on veut le faire !

L'image montre la grande porte de l'abbaye, fermée, sa herse, notre maître assis sur un rocher, une charrette et un petit arbre.

As you dive into @compulsiongames.bsky.social's South of Midnight today, almost everything you engage with is tied to Southern folklore and culture. Creole, Cajun, Appalachian, and more. If you want to learn more about the real stories that inspire it - or even the blue paint, check out my piece <3

The Real Southern Folklore Behind South of Midnight's World
South of Midnight is a love letter to the American South and in that we can find the real Southern folklore that inspires the game.

Ce coffre khwarezmien avec sa serrure à combinaison date de 1200(!), deux siècles et demi avant que les vénitiens ne commencent à faire joujou avec ce genre de mécanisme.
The David Collection, Copenhague
Iran, Isfahan?; 597 H = 1200-1201

This combination lock is the work of the astrolabe-maker Muhammad ibn Hamid al-Asturlabi al-Isfahani in 597 H. 
The four double dials, each of which can be set in 16 positions, allows for 4,294,967,296 combinations. When the right combination is entered, it releases the inner metal plate, which is attached both to an external handle and to the locking mechanism itself

When a candle is placed inside the porcelain, the light shines through its eyes. The lamp was intended for children who were afraid of the dark, but was also used to scare off rats. It comes from the collection assembled by the Sinologist Jean Theodore Royer. id.rijksmuseum.nl/200107493

Like most other disciplines, accessibility takes practice, time, and patience. No one starts a new endeavor and is instantly excellent at it with nothing to learn or improve. If you expect your first attempt to be perfect, you'll burn out. You'll find excuses to not try. Get started and try.

On hatred.
I hate all of this in almost every way a thing can be hated. I hate the factless waffle that surrounds Big AI’s every improbable goal. I hate how insipidly stupid, or just plain evil, those goals so often are, and the yawning chasm between them and any form of achievable reality. I hate that Big AI’s successes are inflated and its failures ignored — or are even categorised as hilarious mis-steps, like when AI chatbots tell people to eat poisonous mushrooms, put glue on pizza, or make air diffusers from chlorine gas.

I hate that Big AI consumes so much energy that every time you generate a six-fingered portrait of Anne Frank or a scene from the Vietnam war in the style of Studio Ghibli, you might as well just kill a polar bear with a crossbow. I hate that it can run roughshod over every copyright law and environmental protection on the planet in pursuit of the data it needs to continue failing, with no consequences save for the enrichment of the worst people on Earth, who have managed to make all of this magical bullshit seem sensible to an intellectual class comprised of people I wouldn’t trust to print an email.

#InternationalAsexualityDay is a time for all of us, in and out of the queer and ace/aro community to remember that queerness transcends sex. That we can envision relationships that do more than centre sex. That intimacy exists in so many diverse forms outside of compulsory sexuality.
