In the Arctic circle, a salvager board a rampant icebreaker gnarled in the pack ice. THE EDDA is a slow-burn #audiodrama about a dying ship in the dead of winter.

#SciArt is a mind-cleaning hashtag. So cool.
#ArtAdventCalendar Day 20:
Remember this iconic astronaut boot print from the moon? 🌕
I recreated the boot's sole in silver.
To go full circle, I then traveled to Florida (2022) and made this imprint on the beach close to the Kennedy Space Center, where Apollo 11 launched from 🚀

Game and audio drama and other art awards need a new category to differentiate whatever nonsense "indie" is from the people hustling their art at a loss on the side of one or two jobs.
Let's draw some lines around budget.

Two odd beings find tenderness, or a quiet kind of love that doesn’t need naming. What they find together may be love, or safety, or simply the relief of being seen. The world around them mirrors this truth: bones feed roots, insects thrive, and so-called unwanted beings persist. -

Starting now, because the world is wrong, I am making a more concerted effort to read the fiction of my friends, listen to the podcasts and music of my friends, and practice keeping my escapism “local” (friend group and mutuals) as much as possible.

I have the haunting suspicion that Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey might suck.
I’m not a hater. I like Christopher Nolan movies - a lot. But I’m getting navel-gazy Odyssey vibes with BWAAAM and the costuming is bad.
