I now need a Sisters of Mercy “Some Girls Wander By Mistake” keyring to pair with this one I picked up recently.

It’s not unheard of. Some bikers align that way because of the strong links with ex military. On the hippie side some went toward reform via covid scepticism.

"Weighed down with loss, he lay down in the river and turned himself to stone until the water eroded him away to sand."

A stone in a river that looks like a person's head. The water ripples and reflects tree branches.

Today’s #obliquestrategies card. At first glance reverse seems really negative. An abandonment. But when I think of reverse, it’s more when you’re driving along, glance something and want to get a proper look. I’m taking this as an excuse to slow down and have a proper look.

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

"Only in autumn days, as summer slowly faded, would their confidence again be dashed by doubts and misgivings at symptoms of decay, which told how vain were all their efforts to stave off for ever the approach of winter and of death" (Frazer "Golden Bough") 🎨 Vincenzo Lamolinara #Spooktober

Thank you! I'm hoping to watch live, but I have a busy week and sleep is a valuable resource these days <3

Steve Toase @stevetoase.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I'm not sure if I can watch this live, because timezones. Will it be possible to watch all the goodness later?

Today’s #obliquestrategies card. This one’s for @lauramauro.bsky.social I think this one is about breaking a job down into small tasks. It feels very relevant today after working on the Harley. Small jobs, small steps. Take time. It will get there.

Watching War of the Worlds (2005), and I have a lot of opinions about this version, but just noticed that the scene where Rachel sees the body in the river is a direct nod to the opening of the acid western, The Hired Hand, especially the way the light off the river shimmers as she watches the body

Started Pale Grey Idol from @undertow.bsky.social and just read Flume by @seanbirnie.bsky.social. One of those places that perfectly captures the menace of the familiar turned unfamiliar. Reminded me (in a very good way) of The Wasp Factory.
