Remember StumbleUpon? That’s how I use social media. I just want to see art, cute pictures and serendipitously find interesting corners of the internet. It’s unlikely I’ll post, but will often heart, save 🔖 and re-share/boost posts I find cool, interesting or important.

For @samsorensen.bsky.social's #OVER/UNDER I created WEATHERVANE, an in-universe themed combat simulator. Using it, our faction was able to predict the outcome of any battle with a high degree of confidence. It helped us price mercenary contracts and go into any combat knowing the expected outcomes.

There is someone roleplaying as Anthony Bourdain in #OVER/UNDER, just going around doing monologues in the various public spaces, and it's truly.... so good.

And this is where every twisting corridor of the dream ends: the city core hits me like a hangover that never really ended. Everything’s too bright and too dark at the same time: holo-ads bleeding through clouds of coolant steam, promising pleasure, relief, and escape in six-second loops nobody’s really watching anymore. I can feel the hum of the station beneath my boots, like a tired animal breathing slow, or maybe it’s the low rumble of the fighting league. It’s all stacked metal and patched wiring here; architecture built by a committee of welders and dreamers who never spoke the same language. Probably several committees.

Down on the streets I watch a drunk token miner yell at a vending machine that won’t take their credits. Somewhere above, a train rattles the ceiling as it leaves for a better, safer block that’s probably equally as tenuous. It’s loud, dirty, alive, and, in its own broken way, honest. You can’t gentrify vacuum, as much as this station tries. Holographic ads hawk enigmatic augmentations, political slogans that go out of date in an hour, or a good time of the sapphic variety. Smashing. that explains why the air tastes of android coolant. There’s the ever present hint of politics and commerce everywhere, inside the market, outside on the street; anyone not selling something seems to be planning, kneeling or squatting against walls, on the floor, in the street, whispering information or shouting it. This looked exactly like the Prospero Dreams of my fevered imaginings: dead drops, brush contacts, burst transmissions, betrayals.
When I finally leave the market, the blocks are dark, and I pass a few buildings lit by flickering electric light. Broom closet-sized alleyway stores and restaurants serving mysterious narcotics and hot meals for a few credits, flickering LEDs barely revealing the silhouettes of seated figures reading bratva literature. There are cryptic …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wda5bmzr3db5dwkc4m2vm46k/bafkreifhtg2noex4lf3t62yjz3jn3s7kcxnoclijlgnvrji7nhdxg3qhga@jpeg)

Yeah! Weird that they've spelled them and glossed them that way.
cihuatlamacazqueh—offering priestesses (literally "woman-offering priests). Singular "cihuatlamacazqui."
ilamatotōn—little old ladies. Singular "ilamatōn."
Both names were applied to male and female raccoons.

- What compels your character to be involved in the story and the group?
