What I'm concretely doing about this is: photographing cool things when I see them, because I'm obviously never going to draw anything.

Sugawara no Michizane's 105,000 thunder demons sound like a good time. (I am *not at all* familiar with the right way to read Japanese historical sources from this or any era, but I'm guessing that maybe this's an example of a specific large number being used to mean: generally loads and loads?)
A second version states that three months earlier, another oracle was received by Tarou, the seven-year-old son of Miwa no Yoshitane, a Shinto priest from Oumi, a province just east of the capital. Portions of this oracle roughly paralleled what Douken had reported previously. The thunder deamons--105,000 of them--were Michizane's followers, and he had sent them to punish disbelievers.

If you like this 2025 poem, where a far-future revolutionary workers’ state uses alliterative poetry as a vehicle for political discourse, wait till the next all-speculative issue of Forgotten Ground Regained! I have two poems in it, along with a lot of other terrific alliterative poetry!

Pretty good run (by my low standards) in PCB. Switched to playing Sakuya, who seems… good? Chewed easily through 1–3, and I'm getting the hang of dancing round the bullet waves in 4.

Hey folks, after some delay I’ve got a brand new Blade Licking Thieves podcast for you! This time it’s our review of the seminal 1980 film Be Forever Yamato. In this one we discuss not only this massive work, but how people can approach a long-running series with such a rich history. Enjoy!

Vanishingly rare morning when I remember what I was dreaming about before I woke up. I was on my way to a (non-existent) railway station called 'Andtree', which was near Heathrow Airport. Gripping, I know.
