got caught in a time storm and briefly became one with a pilgrim who was known as Mrs. Leavitt before her time with the Agency— she smuggled me the scents i was tasked with finding and encouraged me and my lost love to fight ECCO X Time War

a collaged page in a planner featuring text from This is How We Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone and Project Ecco by Elliot Davis. It also features a floral and van blue and white tissue paper, that wrapped a beloved gift from a friend and the solid perfumes Smuggler’s Soul and Sikkim Girls from Lush. The collaged text is surrounded by black sharpie marks almost fully covering the rest of the page.

a game to play with the moon again, and again, and again…

a square image that one might call inky, were it not for large circle of a bright and full moon, holding the following handwritten text:

ORPEHUS AND THE MOON

On a night
when the moon is
particularly beautiful,
take a walk it it’s direction.

Gaze at it lovingly.
Fill yourself with her splendor.

Then, turn around.
Walk home.
Don’t look back.

If you look back,
you lose.

on the bottom right is a simple doodle of a toe, gently smiling, to the right of the words– a game by toe

The Three Hares silk scarves are finally here! The Three Hares motif dates back to at least the 7th century, and appears in art from different religions across the globe... (More in alt text) Currently, the scarf is only available to my Patrons, but it will be released publicly this Friday.

An image of a silk scarf illustrated with three hares with interlocking ears, surrounded by a motif of apples.

The earliest known use of the Three Hares dates back to 6th Century China, when the motif was used to decorate the ceilings of over a dozen rooms within the Mogao Caves, a massive and richly decorated Buddhist temple consisting of hundreds of rooms carved directly into a stone cliffside. By the time the hares were painted, the Mogao Caves had already become a busy desert crossroads along the caravan routes of the Silk Road, and the Three Hares traveled West on textiles and ceramics through the Middle East, across Europe, and finally across the English Channel into the United Kingdom. We see the three hares in art from Buddhist, Islamic, Christian, and Jewish traditions. The image itself remained unchanged in this great journey, but as each religion and region adopted the motif, they assigned their own symbolism and significance to the Hares. To me, the symbol of the Three Hares represents the possibility of symbiotic exchange and mutual appreciation among cultures.

Apples tell a similar story of mutually beneficial trade and cultural syncretism. All varieties of modern cultivated apples are descended from Malus sieversii, a species of wild apple native to both sides of the Tian Shan mountain range. As traders and travelers along the Silk Road routes ate these apples while they traveled, they planted or discarded the seeds as they went. These trees were intentionally and accidentally cross-pollinated with the species native to each area, and the resulting fruits were spread in both directions along trade routes, eventually leading to the 7,500 species of domestic apples that we enjoy today.

Here, I’m wearing the silk scarf tied simply — folded into a triangle, and wrapped twice around my neck with the knot in the front.

reading this made me cry. i'm normal!!! labour protections are a beautiful act of human love & care!!!!! the establishment of any union is a boon for future unions. companies that can unionise doing so of their own volition helps set precedent & pressure for future efforts outside of themselves 🖤

What differs in RRD’s case is the issue that precipitated this push: there was none. Lithgow told Rascal that this is a proactive measure to preserve what she and her coworkers feel is a charmed, healthy environment from future spoilage. “As a whole, we’re a progressive team with a unified belief in strong workers rights,” she said. “We already had some amazing benefits in our contracts, such as flexible working hours, an Employee Assistance Programs that provides free confidential counselling, and even allowance for taking protest leave days! Establishing our union was done with the mentality of ‘fix the roof while it’s sunny’.”

She continued by saying that it’s “tragic” when workers only think to organize in response to abuse or malfeasance from leadership, conditions that make the long, complex process of unionization all the more difficult. She believes this pattern perpetuates the “ugly stereotype” that unions are “a negative reaction to poor working conditions, instead of a positive and preventative act of worker solidarity.”
