A thread of the many beastie hand rests of Stowlangtoft Church

Probably a gimmick added some time after the fact, but on eBay right now there's a 16th C book for sale with a library chain attached. I know these were anti-theft devices, but I always like the idea that the books were naughty.

This bit of favorite folklore feels like it's been a constant in my life. #FolkloreThursday

Many cultures have hyperbole to indicate "long, long ago" in mythic times, but Korea's is uniquely strange: "back when tigers used to smoke" is one of many ways tigers appear in Korean folklore and myth. #FolkloreThursday

Our expectation I that you would only become a werewolf only when in view of the full Moon. We use a combination of mitigations - limiting launch opportunities to days when we’ll approach from the side, window shades when & special sunglasses during transit.

Next space mission needs to do some research on what happens if you send a werewolf to the moon; does it just make you go full wolf, full time? Or does the novelty wear off due to exposure? @jthutt.bsky.social please weigh in

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

Snapped a pic of my Saucer Magnolia in case the cold temps destroy the beautiful buds.

The gold foil prints of my Watership down piece 'But first they must catch you' are in my shop! Still proud of this piece :) artofmaquenda.etsy.com/listing/1784... #art

Completely shocked by the sudden loss of Catherine O’Hara, one of the funniest and most talented people on this planet. As a massive fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas, I couldn't think of a better send off than her performance of Sally's Song.

I was thinking this the other day with a sense of encroaching depression: I have written fictional villains whose inner landscapes are magnitudes more complex and sympathetic than some of the world's richest people. Why, yes, I *am* equating billionaires with villainy. Well spotted.

Fictional villains: Society has failed me and now the only way I can save those I love is to break the law. I'm not a monster, but I'll break you to protect those I care about. Real world villains: I now call this meeting of We Love Sex Crimes to order.

So glad we could make the Alban Arthan (winter solstice) celebrations this year at Bryn Cellu Ddu. It was cloudy, as us expected this time of year, but for a brief moment we all witnessed the most beautiful sunset 🥰 #marilwyd #marimôn #solstice

I’m excited to show you my finished Krampus marionette/puppet in action. look at him go! 🌲

One day, ideally before I die, the fabulously convoluted rights hairball that surrounds NO ONE LIVES FOREVER will be resolved and we will finally get another game. I need my splendid '60s superspy shenanigans. youtu.be/6SwqdNQ9vEk

Happy that independent games won all the things at the game awards, but E33 winning art direction seemed... iffy? Awesome that Hades 2 won Action Game. Darren Korb was totally robbed in that Best Score And Music category though. Ahem.

Krampuses I have waved at

Own books. Dog-ear pages. Put 50 sticky notes in them. Listen to the page turn. Buy a 150-year-old book and read it. Look at the smudges on it, the foxing & toning of the leaves. Imagine who read it - this tangible, physical thing - before you. Who will after you. Physical things rule.

A few years ago I got a discman for my kid and now I get her CDs, often used, as a present. I think the physical object communicates that people made it, made choices, created art together & did so for other people to appreciate. It’s not content. Anyway maybe you want to bring hard media back too?

Stand by, shore party. #N7Day #masseffect

Hades II is amazing. There are nods to both Lattimore's and Wilson's Odyssey translations. Lattimore: “Tell me, Muse, of the man of many ways…” Wilson: “Tell me about a complicated man…” Hades II: “Some know him as the man of many ways; certainly he is a complicated one.”

Last night I went to the Puca Festival in Trim, Ireland. It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.

This is a personal work, the first one in years, I could manage to spend some time on it despite all my current works, but I needed to do it and the most important thing, it’s probably one of the paintings I enjoyed most in a while! Mil gracias @realgdt.bsky.social por esta obra maestra!
