Fiat, distilled

The reach of fiat money shows the reach of power.
Power made tangible through legal coercion.
Taxation proves the coercion, exercising it.
A fiat vacuum, carved out by the payment.
The vacuum filled only by fiat money.

@Kelleteworks (on Insta) created this collage inspired by my poem “Carved Skulls” from The Strange Misgivings of the Sadly Gifted (Deadmans Press Ink, 2025). 2nd edition which includes a small sampling of the hundreds of artworks created by Collage Club based on my poetry will be out soon.

I'm trying out a new church, closer to home.

1) The building is huge and antique and beautifully maintained and updated. I've never seen such well-blended sprinkler pipes.

2) I'm the only one in this service with weird colored hair. But I got peace-be-with-youd like anyone else.
The front of an extremely classic Protestant church from the mid 19th century. Pipe organ, stained glass, white plaster and dark carved wood. The upholstery on the pews is claret. The chandeliers have been converted to LED, and if you look very closely, you can see that there is a fire sprinkler system and modern sound systems. The sanctuary is decorated for Christmas, with candles and greenery. A stained glass diptych. On the right is a male figure in a contemplative pose, but also holding a book and a sword. On the left is text that reads: FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT IN WORD BUT IN POWER IN MEMORY OF REV. HENRY M NICHOLS WHO WAS DROWNED IN LAKE CALHOUN JULY 5-1860 I find this theologically suspect, but pretty.

Was reading last night and the book mentioned a small decorated stone from one of the early Neolithic chambered tombs at Cairnholy. Just look at it! Absolutely stunning. Images from trove.scot and the National Museum of Scotland. Oh, it’s just beautiful 😍 #neolithic

Proud houses fall into decline and great cities pass into ruin. The stories of those things are lost to forgotten languages and moth-eaten scrolls. Vine and root grapple with the rune carved in stone, and rust carries away, fleck by fleck, the great gates of iron.

I like to think that owning this, a case containing a CD of Rekkr handmade by the author, makes me a Rekkr super fan.

When you realise tomorrow is the first Monday of the year.
Tree sculpture in a wooded area. A large fallen tree trunk has been carved into a face. It it much like a green man with features in the shape of leaves. He looks ahead, not smiling, slightly unsure. Those who know the area may recognise him as 'Douglas', carved on a fallen fir at Cragside, Northumberland

January's theme: Sculpture
NIKE OF SAMOTHRACE, 2nd century BCE. Louvre Museum, Paris, France.
#arthistory #art #sculpture #Greece
Whenever I see this statue, I think of Audrey Hepburn in her flowing red gown descending the stairs in front of the Nike in the Louvre in the classic 1957 movie “Funny Face”. The marble statue is impressive and powerful even without Ms. Hepburn’s presence! This statue is from the Greek Hellenistic Period and was originally placed in the Sanctuary of the Great Gods on the island of Samothrace, to commemorate an early second century naval victory. It was placed in the sanctuary facing the sea, so that the flowing drapery would appear to be blown by the prevailing winds. In the Louvre today, the Nike is dramatically placed, by itself with no distraction, at the top of the grand Daru stairway; she stands atop the remnants of a ship’s bow. Also known as “Winged Victory”, the Nike’s gown is deeply carved and reveals the structure of the body beneath the garment. The statue was discovered in pieces in 1863 and was reconstructed (it has been in the Louvre since 1866); the missing head and arms were not recreated and, quite frankly, are not missed. The sculptor constructed the wings as separate elements that fit into slots in the back of the statue so that gravity holds the wings in place without the need for external struts for support.

We visited the town of Le Tréport today in Normandy, north-west France.
Street that goes up slightly, along the right side old building line the street. Shops and cafés are below, apartments above. Street with houses on the right. One block is missing showing how the houses are built into the cliff face. The lower floors seem to be built into the cliff, the second to fourth floors of the apartment buildings are atop of a level that was probably carved out. The buildings are old and ornate. Lovely windows and picturesque. Below are shops.

The funicular at Le Tréport takes people from the town below all the way to the top of the cliffs to a recreation and look-out area. Normandy, north-west France.
A funicular going up into two tunnel carved into the huge cliffs, taking people up to the top. Close up of a funicular going up into two tunnel carved into the huge cliffs, taking people up to the top. The inscription on top of the two tunnels says: Tréport Terrasse.

Freezing my tits off at the Pre Aux Reines paper mill, now enjoying a golden retirement.
View through one of the windows of the ruined mill, its ledge overgrown in frosty fern, moss and worts. Through the window a frosty field stretches away to another ruined mill and wooded hills, the top of which are gold in the late sun. View of the mill through a triangle of listing winter trees growing on a brambly slope. View through an old doorway with a stone lintel carved with worn lettering indicating the former presence of a MOULIN A PAPIER. Through the door the frosty mass of brambles and weeds carpeting the old mill floor can seen, ending in two twin windows in the far wall. Beyond them lie the woods and a field turned milky jade with frost. A corner of the inside of the mill showing a massive ruined hearth and, on the other wall, two more windows.

Comfort is most people's god. Their excuse. They avoid pain, call it self-care, & wonder why they feel weaker each year. But strength doesn’t grow from ease. It’s built under tension, carved by resistance, earned through voluntary hardship. Until you seek difficulty, you’ll never get what you want.

Tryied the wood carving thing during the holidays.
It's giving me hand cramps, i can't do it for extended period of time and it's very messy. But fun to do here and there.
Going back to work tomorrow, not really excited but that's life.
Hope winter's gonna be fun this year.

Putting the front back on a nest box after cleaning it. Volunteer, sitting on a 600 mm high carved hedgehog, creating 'stobs' for log lining. A volunteer in a hi-vis vest, digging a hole in the ground for the new bench. Two volunteers, in hi-vis vests, lowering the bench into the hole.

Day 4, not feeling great, but wanted to post this for a while, friend was telling me about a game she was in, the way her character was done made me really mad so I did this as a 'vengeance' come back for her character. Undead bunny gets second chance at her party.

A drawing of a bunny woman as she's stepping over rocks. The picture is done in neon green, gray and black to give it an eerie unearthly feel. Her eye is a bright green glow illuminating the fog and gunsmoke around her. She's carrying a large blocky rifle in one hand and in the other a single bullet with the name 'Cyrus' carved into it.

The idea that Europe would be "carved up" without NATO is a delusional fantasy, about as reasonable as someone in Russia arguing that they need the Warsaw pact back to stop Russia being "carved up".
