Capricorn season recalls this pottery goat by @scalesandbark.bsky.social which @maeviuslynn.bsky.social and I picked up at the Durham Pottery Tour because the third eye reminded us of the Thoth Tarot.

Positively delighted with the immersive audio of this classic from my youth: Alan Parsons Project’s I Robot. The mix is phenomenal: refreshing after recent “safe” & underwhelming immersive releases from other artists. I Robot springs to life, all speakers firing with beautiful & captivating details.

This appeared in my Facebook feed uninvited. 😂 According to Meta AI, it is what the Gnostic Mass will look like when we colonize Mars.

It amazes me that this oriole—who was a regular visitor to my bird feeder last winter—found his way back not just from Baltimore to Raleigh, but to my back yard in particular, without using a cell phone.

Found at HomeGoods: a vase commemorating Gnostic Saint Sir Richard Francis Burton and his highly sexualized translation of the “Arabian Nights,” whose seventeen volumes he published in the 1880s in a private edition to skirt Victorian obscenity laws.

Went to an estate sale over the weekend and came home with this beautiful antique brass candle snuffer for $18. I’m a sucker for implements 😄
While checking out…
@maeviuslynn.bsky.social: I wonder if it was used in ritual?
Me (doing my best Yoda impression): It will be. It … will … be.
