this thing can and should be on the menu everywhere

Photo of a delicious Lancashire hotpot lifted from google lol.
In a shallow sky blue cast iron pan, someone has slow cooked a rich lamb and carrots stew and topped it with disks of golden potatoes. Who wouldn’t want to eat the entire thing on a chilly autumn evening ????

@ananthhirsh.bsky.social and I have been working on this game since 2019— seven years! It is a tremendous work of labor made by human hands. If you enjoyed the game, please vote for Fields of Mistria!

MCM London runs from 23rd to 25th October and I am excited to be hosting a frankly ridiculous number of panels this time - I have officially claimed the Artist Alley Stage as my domain! My panel prep has already started, so please enjoy an ongoing thread of who I get to talk to:

you may have noticed that animation has never been more in-demand & in the zeitgeist and yet, seemingly, never have media conglomerates been less willing to produce it. you may also notice these guys get multimillion dollar severance packages after they gut a studio. there is probably no connection

shazleen @shazleenmkhan.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Lookin it up and apparently ???? Pcos can also mess up certain hormones that relax muscles and lead to like muscular issues. As w / everything the solution is slow, methodical effort of massage / relaxation, strength training and manually doing things my body is meant to at least partially

shazleen @shazleenmkhan.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

At what point does having pcos and chronic muscle pain and back issues cross over into like disability territory Cuz im like “i am not disabled i am fine” but every month at least for a week I can’t bend at the waist and even rentering gym isn’t relieving this pain

I can’t believe we’re back to medieval level conflicts like “local merchant princes attempt to bribe theologians and the Pope’s advisors so the Pope will issue a favorable proclaimation”

tangentially i often think about how like. kind words from strangers was enough for me to start my career i got my 2p for buuza 3 and I wrote in it about how the very kind rejection email I received from Taneka Stotts in 2018 encouraged me enough to commit to making buuza

Good books / essays about indigenous, native and first nations american people and current or historic movements of liberation ! (Asking because it’s out of my scope of reading I had done while in school but I am thinking about things & currently not in school / don’t have access to a library-

As in I have read Orientalism, I am interested in a similar frame being used specifically on non-asian / arab cultures and particularly want to see any writing describing this mechanism applied to indigenous American peoples (either north or south). Also generally interested in reading any -

shazleen @shazleenmkhan.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Hey Bluesky give me some essay / theory reccomendations: I am looking to read about how the mechanism of framing a racially marginalised / colonised culture as “antiquated” / “past it’s prime” / “deceased” is a vehicle of erasure of living peoples and culture but not in the context of Orientalism
