The Bridge. Is beautiful The Tay. Is silvery Alas. It is the last sabbath day of 1879
Wollstonecraft on forest fires & climate grief, from 1796: "The devastation must, indeed, be terrible, when this, literally speaking, wild fire, runs along the forest, flying from top to top, & crackling amongst the branches. . . the country, despoiled of beauty & riches, is left to mourn for ages."

I love the monsters kids come up with for this workshop - including "a kelpie that sucks your blood (only the size of thumbelina)" and "a giant turtle that sticks driftwood to its back (so it can plunge down to the depths with shipwrecked mariners and drown them)". Lovely, ghoulish, no notes.

I'm personally petrified by the potential outcome of travelling through this one I pass often in Smethwick usually while I'm not in a position to waste 101 years trapped in some shadow dimension.
Dave Gilbert@wadjeteyegames.com · 2w agoFound this gate in York. It had a standard lock, plus a padlock and a chain holding it shut. It was very very securely closed. The only thing on the other side is a blank wall. The only conclusion I can make is that this is a magic portal to hell.

I think it would now be a nice time to show you two things I have been sculpting (work in progress)
Just going to say here, I think I've said this before, a 'historically accurate' version of the Odyssey is not possible because the Odyssey does not take place in a historical setting - it takes place in a fantastical pastiche of four centuries, mixed in with gods and monsters.
Watcher Guru@watcher.guru · 2w agoJUST IN: Elon Musk says Grok will make a "full-length movie" of The Odyssey that is "historically accurate" by the end of this year.

Dear journalists, pesky immigrant here, so what do I know … But here’s a visual aid for you: Manchester is not “the north”. Seriously: it’s actually getting insulting now given how many have pointed out how wrong and unhelpful all of that nonsense is (and even within a northern England corridor).
