I drew this when I was dealing with insurance and turned it into a print for fun. Apparently other people feel the same way.

I only made like 10 so grab one if you want one.

Inordinately obsessed with Fyrkat Grave 4. What this article incorrectly labels "owl pellets" are actually manually rolled bits of bone, fat, ash. Whose bone and ash? I think about it every few days.

Also, she probably ATE them.

A seeress from Fyrkat?
Woman's grave from Fyrkat. The woman was buried with unusual grave goods. A wand, poisonous henbane and jewellery. Perhaps a seeress?

I love having a captive audience (both my partners have been subjected to unsolicited Behind the Scenes of The Northman info dumps while trapped in the car with me)

My mother in law brought makeup for my daughter and, long story short, you still have to take me seriously even if I have glitter on my face

AI is never going to replicate the things I write because I hyper fixate on the weirdest, most niche historical details. It's like a treasure hunt through my bibliography.

I do this intentionally with the Out of True books (including pulling words from English that haven't been used regularly for a few hundred years) because I think it makes them more immersive as fantasy stories.
I think it would be fun if writers who love language started intentionally writing more strangely as AI flattens written "content" into a mono-voice. it would cool I think if writers responded by focusing their individual efforts on cultivating a really unique voice that's hard to copy

Listening to this cover and thinking about the time Carmen convinced someone to pose as her boyfriend to see if it would dissuade Ksenia (it did not). Poor fuck had no idea what he was signing up for. youtu.be/iqDatCPC438?...

Recently acquired a bag of military patches, mostly WWII. There's some wild stuff in there! My favorite is this one, for the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF). Based in London, they oversaw the planning for Normandy.

Rainbow, flaming sword, anti-fascist. What's not to love?
