A snip of my arthurian short-story: "The Wedding Night of Dame Ragnell"; Polish translation by the one and only @lierre.bsky.social

Urywek mojego arturiańskiego opowiadania: "Noc poślubna pani Ragnell", przetłumaczonego na polski przez niezawodną Magdalenę Stonawską.
A snip of a short story, written in a white font on a blue-greenish backround; also in the backround there's a graphic of a forest on a misty evening. The snip: "I wedded prince Gawain of Orkney on a cold October morning, almost half a year after I’d betrayed my born brother for him, his bed, and his crown. I’d lost count of people begging me to agree to a secret and private mass which would spare poor Gawain the disgrace of being seen next to the most loathful of British women. I laughed in their faces, demanding the prize that their beloved king had promised me: a public ceremony with all the trimmings and feasts, worthy of the prince of the North and his enchanting bride. In a sense I got what I’d asked for. It was a beautiful ceremony, nearly as lavish as the wedding of Arthur and Gwenhwyfar themselves, but also the most mournful one that Caerleon had ever seen. No one cheered nor sang for us, no one dared to ring the joyful wedding bells, and so we exchanged our vows among the sounds of autumn aging winds. How very fitting indeed." Fragment opowiadania zapisany białą czcionką na niebieskawo-zielonkawym tle; za tekstem widoczne jest zdjęcie lasu iglastego pogrążonego w wieczornej mgle. Fragment: Poślubiłam księcia Gawaina z Orkadów w pewien chłodny październikowy poranek, niemal pół roku po tym, jak dla niego, jego łoża i jego korony zdradziłam rodzonego brata. Niezliczone osoby błagały mnie, bym zgodziła się na ceremonię cichą i prywatną, która ochroniłaby biednego Gawaina przed upokorzeniem bycia widzianym publicznie u boku najbardziej odrażającej kobiety w Brytanii. Wyśmiałam ich wszystkich. Żądałam tego, co obiecał mi ich ukochany władca – ceremonii z pompą i dziesiątkami gości, na jaką zasługiwał książę Północy i jego czarująca narzeczona. W pewnym sensie dostałam to, czego chciałam. Zaślubiny były piękne, niemal tak wystawne jak ślub samego Artura z Gwenhwyfar, lecz zarazem smutniejsze niż cokolwiek, czego świadkiem były mury Caerleonu. Nikt nie wiwatował. Nikt nie śpiewał. Nikt nie śmiał uderzyć w radosne weselne dzwony. Wymieniliśmy przysięgi w ciszy, którą przerywało jedynie wycie wiatru. Jakże odpowiednio.

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology.

mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries.

But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

In the last two days I've watched two movies based on books I absolutely adore.
The new "Wuthering Heights" made me want to put my eyes out.
The rewatch of "Tale of Tales" has reminded me why I love movies and books so much. 11 years after it came out, it's still stunning.

Helpless & overwhelmed. Kyiev is freezing to death and I don't have any money to donate for generators. State sanctioned executions in Minnesota and Iran. People dead in Indonesia's landslides. Bad news from every corner of the world.

Yet not reading news and acknowleding the deaths feels cowardly.

Answering emails sucks, but I make it suck a little less by putting on ambient music and soundscapes and saying "today I'm answering emails from a Victorian greenhouse in a rainstorm" or "today I'm answering emails from a space station"

Wisteria and Lapis 🌙

Commission for a private client 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩
Commissioned illustration of two women sharing a passionate kiss in an alleyway of a town, bathed in moonlight. Wisteria has a doll body that is quite thin and light in build, made of porcelain, with brass-like metal for the joints, luminous eyes and blonde hair. Lapis is a female drow with white flowing hair down to her waist. She is quite busty and is wearing an ornate red and black dress. Wisteria is keeping Lapis' hands above her head as she kisses her <3

Today is Old Wassail and Here's to thee, old apple tree...

Some places have very, very old wassailing customs, though, and we go to the West Country on Old Twelvey to witness such a one in our 11th #winterfolklore tale.

Read it below.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 mini diplomas are ready!
🥖✔️

With extra deco details ^^

#expedition33 #clairobscure
Miniature diploma scrolls. Perfect gift for a Expedition 33 player. Video shows example of size. All scrolls are approximately 4” high and 2” wide (10 x 5 cm) They are made out of paper with sturdy paper glued on to the back. Pick between hook or magnet for the back. The scrolls are glued on a little decorated sticks made out of wood. These scrolls are perfect as gifts, as you can order ones with personalized text added to them! All illustrations are designed by me, printed on to recycled paper. By hand I add the patina and a tiny seal. Therefore be aware all the scrolls look slightly different from each other and have a unique touch. The tones of the paper can variari from what you see on the photos.

#SomethingBeautiful the angel eye view of the Duomo as the lights come on
White roof of the octagonal Baptistery, which looks tiny next to the duomo but is actually enormous, and behind it the facade and dome of the duomo, with Giotto's belltower at the side. This view is from the air, so around it you can see streets with the lights just coming on with a warm glow, and far off misty hills.

#poem

This is a poem from a Hungarian poet from 1944.
Miklos Radnoti: Fragments I lived upon this earth in such an age when man was so debased he sought to murder for pleasure, not just to comply with orders, his faith in falsehoods drove him to corruption, his life was ruled by raving self-deceptions. I lived upon this earth in such an age that idolized the sly police informers, whose heroes were the killers, spies, the thieves – and the few who held their peace or only failed to cheer were loathed like victims of the plague. I lived upon this earth in such an age when those who risked protest were wise to hide and gnaw their fists in self-consuming shame – the crazed folk grinned about their terrifying doomed future, wild and drunk on blood and mire. I lived upon this earth in such an age when the mother of an infant was a curse, when pregnant women were glad to abort, the living envied the corpses in the graves while on the table foamed their poisoned cup. ............................ ............................ I lived upon this earth in such an age when even the poet fell silent and waited in hope for an ancient, terrible voice to rise again – for no-one could utter a fitting curse of such horror but the scholar of dreadful words, Isaiah the prophet. ........................... May 19, 1944 (translated from Hungarian)
