When you could end reality from your throne of primordial chaos, but you'd rather just take a nap and maybe eat some leaves later. Antifa cottagecore. She/her.

Microblog post by Soon-Tzu Speechley, @speechleyish: "Writing about US food the way the NYT covers Asian fruit: In a nation torn by racial conflict, one unlikely food unites. To those accustomed to chopsticks, the greasy parcel known as a 'burger,' a sort of split bao, is crude and messy. Yet it encapsulates a nation's violent past."
“Believe me I do not have to try very hard. I mean, at least tell me that you stop off to see the world’s largest ball of string or something. Maybe take a picture of a sunset somewhere striking. Meditate on the nature of man and existence while planning the great American novel,” she said, sure that the last one would at least seem palatable to him. But instead the last one just seemed to make him blanch even further. It almost looked like a wince. And he stopped loading bizarre-looking bundles and packages to answer her more firmly. One hand on the edge of the truck bed. The other gesturing at her like his fist was a gavel and she’s just been judged guilty. “I genuinely cannot imagine anything more horrifying. I should sue you for assaulting my ears with that nonsense. Balls of string. Talking to me like I’m someone who can remotely stand Kerouac. If I could go back in time, I would make sure he fell in a well before he ever wrote a word. Worst thing to ever happen to literature. And men. And humanity.” He said as if that made any more sense than the last thing. He was supposed to love writers like that.

A blonde child kneels in front of a television showing the Artemis rocket against a deep blue sky. The ticker on the screen reads T-0:05:28.
A young child’s drawing of a box with four spindly legs and two eyes on the front. The drawing is pink marker on pale pink paper
small hand-sewn cat toy; Indian print with gold florals on a dark grey background. The toy is sewn in a box shape, with little poseable legs covered in the same fabric. The toy has a pull string stitched into the top and has two awful little red eyes drawn on with sharpie. It's cute and terrible.

Tuxedo tabby cat lying on his side in a dish-shaped scratch pad bed, clutching a back paw to his face for toe grooming.
Photo shows a red brick street, lined on both sides with late 19-th century red brick industrial buildings. The street is filled with pedestrians. In the distance, you can see tall condo buildings and the CN Tower.
A small card showing two facing badgers (gnoles?) rampant, surrounded by vaguely medieval gouache and pen decorations.
Right leaf of a book, with the first two stanzas of the first canto of Lady of the Lake (forgive my not transcribing it all; the spirit is willing but the thumbs are tired)
A book inscription, in spiky black handwriting: To Annie, with love, from Mac. In remembrance of their trip through the beautiful “Lady of the Lake” Country in August 1902. Xmas 1904.
An elaborate turn of the century stamped and gilded book cover - feathery pale flowers with golden stems and small pale leaves, against a navy blue background.
First page of the book's text. The page is headed with a black and white engraving of a bridge. The text begins: "The Lay of the Last Minstrel// Canto First/ I/ The feast was over in Branksome tower,/ And the Ladye had gone to her secret bower ;/ Her bower that was guarded by word and by spell,/ Deadly to hear and deadly to tell--/ Jesu Maria, shield us well !"
Book illustration: black and white engraving, dramatic chiaroscuro kind of effect. The foreground centers an old man, bald, with a flowing white beard blown about in a blast. He grips a stick in front of him with both hands. A young man or boy half-crouches behind him, at right. At the left, you can see a castle on a hill in the distance. Dark round towers shine with light from arrow slits and small windows. A clouded sky is bright at the horizon, surely sunset.
Small book open to the title page. The left leaf has an engraved black and white portrait of Sir Walter Scott. The right leaf has text as follows: The Lay of the Last Minstrel// with illustrations// (typographical ornament of two thistles)// Valentine & Sons, Limited/ Dundee, Edinburgh, London, and Dublin
A small book, open to the endpapers. They're patterned with a chaotic cracked pattern of gold on black.

Three views of a wooden crucifix, with Jesus bungee jumping off the front
Saddle and mask grey tabby curled up in a basket. The head is probably at the right.
Slate-grey lizard head pointing up. About the size of a gull. Did not care about us. Noble dinosaur neighbour.
Eight small sculpted figures, seven of pottery and one hard stone figure. The pottery figures look like little flat-topped molars with simple incised eyes, mouths, and arms cradling their flat bellies.
Terra-cotta ceramic ancestor ceramic. The figure is upside down, back and arched-back face towards the camera. He holds things in his outstretched hands. Above, his legs are spread and bent; and his painted loincloth seems to flap up into the air. His face is detailed and alive, and he’s wearing some kind of crown or headdress. His lips are drawn back, showing his teeth. He looks powerful, active, and like someone who would like a drink now, kid, before solving your problem.
A bowl with alternating panels of red and white. A white panel depicts a grey vaguely doglike creature with skinny legs, perky ears, a wide open eye, and a ridiculously long snout.
An orange and red plate decorated with energetically drawn pig, full body, in profile. Under the pig there’s a winding mass of red (ribbons? Entrails? Idk)
A squirrel-like animal drawn in profile on a red and orange pot.
A cylindrical jar painted in clear, fresh colours, blacks and browns on a tan background. A cross-legged Mayan noble (?) is surrounded by fluidly drawn glyphs. He has an expressively drawn frowning expression

The front of a t-shirt with a pulp-style font reading “the rise and fall of sanctuary moon.” The t-shirt also has an illustration of a robot or construct standing on a cliff and looking at a brilliant pink planet or moon that is partially obscured by violet clouds.
Image is of the first two paragraphs of T. Kingfisher’s novel “What Stalks the Deep” and begins: “So this was America. Fresh off the war with Spain, which was all that anybody was talking about. Guam. Everyone on the ship over had been full of opinions about Guam. Several people asked my opinion ‘as a military man.’ They were wrong about the man part, but the thought of explaining Gallicia’s sworn soldiers to a boatload of Americans was so exhausting that I needed a gin and tonic just to contemplate it, and a second one to decide that explaning would be a bad idea.”
A ripped poster on a telephone pole reads: Egyptian Wisdom - encounter and experience the Papyrus of Ani. The magic of the heart! Immersive Workshop. There is an illustration of an Egyptian goddess.
