Roast duck, wild chanterelles, confit potatoes, winter fruit salad. Managed to get this meal on the table the literal moment my partner walked in the door for our visit and he looked at me and said “how did you DO that” the same way I do during a stage magician’s show

Andrei Tarkovsky's MIRROR is perhaps the greatest film ever made. I reviewed it here.

🚨 New scam alert 🚨

Scammers are now impersonating representatives of Silent Book Club to target authors by pretending they've been nominated for a reader award. The screencapped email here was followed up by a request for a video, press materials... and a "submission fee."

Wow, a coat bath AND a “MASTER ROKSN”? What luxury

I was so proud of myself for about 20 seconds lol

This has been on my list for ages, I should watch it before the end of the year!

I'm testing a way of adding spot color to zines I make on my home printer, and spent three hours painstakingly carving a linoleum block through the evening, finally finished it just now, and gleefully inked and stamped it on the test page to discover I carved it backwards

I'm watching Andrei Tarkovsky's film Mirror for the first time and I feel like someone is carving me in half, there are moments in this movie that are so beautiful I forget to breathe

Which ones are the ones you're thinking about most? This is a murderer's row of bangers, and all so memorable, so I'm v curious to compare and contrast with the ones I've been coming back to a bunch

👀👀👀👀👀👀

Stephen kindly sent me a copy when I bought Ten Candles off of him ages ago, I really want to play it one day!

Also I have that same edition of Border Riding and I'm so excited to play it on some mystical day in the future when I have the time

DELIGHTED to see the Kala Mandala books on there, I saw a preview at BBC 2024 and they're gorgeous and one of a kind

Sometimes I randomly remember the one guy I briefly worked with who was like "idk what the big deal is, it's not hard to get a perfect credit score, ppl just need to save more and spend less," neglecting to mention he got married and bought a house five years before credit scores existed, and just 🔪

I'm observing an argument about social gamification and sure enough someone inevitably brought up the propagandized "in China the state gave everyone a social score that other people could add or subtract points from, that's Black Mirror!!" and my good dudes, wtf do you think a credit score is

just watched a hummingbird drink from every single flower that’s bloomed in my garden, no one can tell me SHIT today

The physical edition of my solo game, Psalms for the Undertow, is now available for members of the Dirtgoblin Zine Club! Members get editions that include experimental materials. In this case that's a two player mechanic I'm currently testing, printed on vellum, and a piece of handmade paper (1/2)

Tom Stoppard, playwright of dazzling wit and playful erudition, dies aged 88 A theatrical sensation since the 1960s, whose dramas included Arcadia, The Real Thing and Leopoldstadt, Stoppard also had huge success as a screenwriter

Very sad. Arcadia was one of my favorite plays in high school.

Volunteer nurse @nurseehammamingaza.myatproto.social is in several kinds of peril. Even a small donation helps.

It was Downey who coined the phrase in the LEVERAGE writers room “future episodes do not win out over present episodes”. Trust me, you’ll have more ideas. You’ll die full of them.

Something I did not predict about living in an era reigned over by ghouls is how tacky and stupid they would be

They’re organs…they’re in your body…your body is using them lmao what are you TALKING about

“Unused”????

Guy who has heard other guys refer to their wives as "ball and chain" and "battle-axe" and wrongfully assumed you can refer to your wife as any medieval weapon: oh there's my beautiful Lucerne hammer

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

WAIT WHAT

today while i was mushroom hunting i asked my friend if she could smell that "delightful fruity scent" and then remembered that old field guides say golden chanterelles emit a scent like fresh apricots. a few minutes of poking around later and i unearthed one the size of my entire head
