Possibly unwise life choices, item 2746:
An email acknowledgement. It shows a five-pointed star and the text "You're attending Canyon of Blood Listening Party".

Terrific weekend at @conpulsion.bsky.social meeting hordes of creative, positive people. Here's our unwatchable art house movie from the Kaleidoscope game. Find it on all good file sharing services under the filename 'SlugsWig.mov'.
A grid of coloured index cards displays our collective recall of an unwatchable foreign art house movie, constructed during the game 'Kaleidoscope' by Jackson Tegu. An unreliable friend described it as "A surrealistic, Tarantinoesque film visually obsessed with slugs." The characters are Tiny, an immense retired hitman struggling with his mental health; Cleopatra, a sinister teenager who carries a scythe and is followed by ravens; Sharon, a stressed single mother who used to work in human resources but who now tries to make it as an assassin; and the mysterious Barbour-clad Gardener, who smokes a pipe and seems both central and peripheral to the confusing narrative. The film sets philosophical monologue over images of mental breakdown, and the rare glimpses we get of domesticity are often interrupted by bursts of shocking violence. Is the opening scene of gunmen loading live slugs into pistols meant to be taken literally? Or is it simply a metaphor which fuels later reflections on bureaucracy and guilt?

A card from the Pokemon trading card game discarded on an urban pavement. It features a cunning-looking blue and black monkey hanging from a tree. The monkey wears a pink headset which seems to be emitting purple energy. The monkey has a special ability called "Adrena-Brain". Flavour text explains that the monkey "uses psychokinesis to induce intense dizziness".

Also ... look who I just found in an unrelated old boardgame:
A forty-year-old cardboard standup counter for the Golden Heroes RPG. It features a gold man looking away from us, arms upraised, wearing a pink cape and boots. The tag reads, "Eldritch".

Some startling found poetry from the Dutch postal service this afternoon.

Uh...
A ouija board displayed in a charity shop window. It features the usual alphabet, numbers and yes/no/goodbye keywords. However its styling is unusual. The font is cheerful and multi-coloured, the background is a rainbow, and the corners feature a happy sun and moon. The overall impression is of a toy intended for very young children.
