Quill & Still was my Amazon debut. It has cracked eggs, made trans girls cry in yearning, and made 80y/o men enjoy litRPG. It's cozy queer slice-of-life portal fantasy about a middle aged Jewish (OTD) burned-out chemist and a kinder world.

This is a fantastic series of posts about subsistence farming and why your ancestors will rise from the grave and smack you if you return to it after they got out.

Fifteen years old, this is an act of violence by the inexorable passage of time. But yeah! MARDEK was pretty much at the apex of Kongregate era flash RPGs and this definitely has my attention.
Caught up with mardek mentions on bluesky! If you talk about this 15 year old flash game you're in my sights 🫵

“the technological society is associated with lesbianism”

Sexuality-wise, the technological society is associated with lesbianism, the pastoralism with, I think, asexuality, the reconstruction with heterosexuality... but the primitivism seems to suggest pansexuality more weakly than it suggests monsterfucking in practice.

6. we need to have a full ashkenazi revival movement in architecture. im not big on diasporist neo-bundist kitsch but i think it would be cool if we started making those elaborate carved torah arks and doors again, and if we started painting synagogue walls and ceilings with those wonderful murals

Vogue announced a "transition" in which Teen Vogue will be folded into its parent publication but "keep its unique editorial identity and mission.”
That’s Condé Nast-ese for "we’re laying off nearly the entire team and stripping the publication for parts.”

Thank you to all the libs and lefties and neocons (??) on my skyline being a bunch of feral ewoks. Remember: block anyone who talks shit about tonight's results or the ENORMOUS amount of work that went into it.
