Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

ceramic mug based on a panel from Junji Ito's horror manga The Enigma of Amigara Fault. The panel shows a bespectacled man clamoring into a man-shaped hole in a cliffside as he says, "This is my hole! It was made for me!". in this riff, the handle of the mug is the man climbing into a black man shaped space glazed into the design of the mug

You can call me Des. I am writing a speculative fiction series for a world/planet named Talitha Harbor. A society of humans on a distant planet. Their first axiom is to protect the planet's ecology. Their second is to respect each other.

The series is about choices. 🧡

I hate how perfect bound books and adventures can't be scanned on a standard bookshelf. Makes it harder to find the one you want and makes the bookself look messy.

So I make these boxed sets for my loose RPG stuff. Each holds 3 inches of 8.5x11 books (I make the labels myself).

The crime of genocide didn't exist until after WW2. It was something we decided was real, needed to be identified and punished. Even if we've been spectacularly bad at putting it in practise, we conceptualised it.

I think it's about time for a CEO crime of murder-by-Economy.

Song of the Loom by Janet Forbes I Sang to the loom, the day my mother died.Β Β  My hands were an echo of hers. Heavy with grief, they wove eight hundred threads onto the frame, a hundred for each string of her Lyra. ...

This story out today by @worldanvil.bsky.social is incredibly beautiful and spoke to my grief when I needed it most this morning.

Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality.

Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

a how to guide for creating crossword dungeons. Step 1 - Find and Do, do the crossword. Step 2 - See Beyond, find the inspiring words and start to see the shape. Step 3 - Extrapolate, ditch words you dont like, create walls, you contol the dungeon. Step 4 - Draw the rest of the owl (make the dungeon from the inspiration). Step 5 - BE NOT AFRAID. Its just a dungeon created from a crossword, they wont always work.

A comment on itch reminded me of this idea for creating #TTRPG dungeons I had a while back. I still think its neat and I don't think I've actually shared it here on bsky.

So bsky.. meet Crossword Dungeons!
Do a crossword, use the answers and designs as inspiration for the rooms, get creative!

A thread where we rate historical engagement rings? Yes, yes! A thousand times, yes!

The history of a betrothed ring spans thousands of years and shifts from a practical token of ownership to an expression of love and commitment.
