I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

The Wanting Monster: A Tender Modern Fable about the Difficult Art of Resting at the Still Point of Enough Wanting is the menacing margin of error between desire and need. It is the blade that vivisects your serenity, the hammer that shatters your wholeness — to want anything is to deem your life …

This is one of the loveliest books I've ever encountered in a lifetime of reading: The Wanting Monster – a tender modern fable about the difficult art of resting at the still point of enough www.themarginalian.org/2025/05/29/t...

Ekstremt skudd i blinde som jeg neppe tror fører til noe, men jeg må prøve. Jeg ser visst etter bolig i Oslo. Det viktigste er at det bare er litt svartmugg, helst fullt kjøkken (hybelkomfyr pluss innebygd ovn er dog ok, men fullsize kjøleskap/fryser helt nødvendig) og plass til et lite sofahjørne.

"Martin is going to Bible Camp for the summer. He's going to learn archery and swimming, and he's going to make new friends. He's pretty excited, but that's probably because nobody told him that this is a horror novel!"

Available in paperback again! Or as a DRM-Free ebook! Or just for free!

Meg som ser på koreansk matkonkurranse:

Åå du skal kombinere sjøpølse og svalereir ja, må passe på at det ikke blir for salt nå- Ah, jeg visste at konjakk i sjampanjesausen var unødvendig.

The same ceramic sphinx in the last post now digitally illustrated. 
In the top panel it sits with a giant grin, speaking. The text reads "A man in a car saw a golden door, a silver door, and a bronze door. Which door did he open first? The car door!"
Bottom left it goes flying through the air, mouth open in a snarl. The text reads "Riddle failed! (Mind you they are the size of a kitten, don't worry about it). Bottom right shows them curled up on their back, blissfully relaxed, eyes closed for a nap. The text reads "Two minutes later". Scattered throughout the illusration are three small, simple doodles, looking up in wonder at a flowering plant, on its back, legs sticking straight up with a frustrated expression, and the last one; tail high with a happy smile.

I've been so tickled after making the ceramic sphinx in my last post that I couldn't help but draw them for some fun this weekend :)

Multiple angles of a ceramic sculpture of a tiny sphinx against a white background, only a bit over an inch or 2.5 centimeters long. They're standing, head slightly raised. It has a silly, happy expression. Its brown body is densely packed with black stripes, contrasted by white wings, white tummy, and a white star on the nape of its neck.

Og snakket med Vetrinær også om oppkommende i sommer om de har direkteoppgjør, men no go, men da vet jeg hvertfall hva det går i. Er ikke lett å være førstegangseier og tro man kan ting :p

Jeg hadde misforstått forsikringa jeg hadde på Icarus og trodd at siden TR er kronisk og diagnosen var gitt før jeg fikk forsikring så ble ikke utgifter dekket. Ringte nå, lagt inn skademelding, har egenandel på 2.5k, men regningen var på nesten 7k :3 Elsker å måtte referere til han ved fullt navn

Jeg har aldri kastet en lighter som jeg kan huske de bare forsvinner av seg selv ut i intet og plutselig oppdager jeg at jeg må kjøpe ny. Når jeg dro ut mye så tror jeg vi bare roterte på byens lightere.

A sketchbook page showing four sketchy illustrations of pigeons made with neon colored pencils & micron pen. The only colors used were pink, green, blue, and purple. Each pigeon is posed differently, and one in particular looks distressed, with the words above it: “everything is too much.”

Jeg drømte mer enn jeg sov i natt. Har vært våken en god stund og er nedi kaffen, men det går tregt i kroppen i dag. OL på skjermen er koselig da.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Bruker nå foten min som en pute. Dette er katten som nekter å sitter på fanget mitt foresten, sånn, det er for intimt liksom.

Mmm stinky ullfot, beste puten.

Bilde av Icarus (sort katt) som ligger på ryggen helt klint inntil låret mitt, man ser begge beina mine i pysj. Icarus har nesten helt lukkete øyne og myke labber. Vi sitter på et grønt pledd.

Vennligst gi maksimum kroppsvarme til katt, takk.

om jeg noensinne poster uten alt-tekst er det fordi jeg har glemt det. Jeg setter bare pris på å bli påmint. Bruk alt-tekst, det er en av de fineste tradisjonene på denne platformen.

A Mandaic curse bowl in the Royal Ontario Museum.  It has a spiraling Mandaic text that leads to an encircled x at the center.

This Super Bowl Sunday, I’d like to introduce you all to the magical curse bowls used in Upper Mesopotamia and Syria in late antiquity. Written in Mandaic (as here) or Syriac Aramaic, they trap demons who trespass on a household by sucking them in with spiraling spells to the center of the bowl.
