In her brilliant "Terra Ignota", @adapalmer.bsky.social describes a society governed by different sets of laws, some more strict, some less, but rarely mentions what these laws actually are. I'm finally reading Hobbes's "Leviathan", and I wonder: could the "Whitelaw" set be his 19 "Natural laws"?...

> You guys knew what to do with Daisy Ridley, you knew what to do with Adam Driver. But when it came to Kelly Marie Tran, when it came to John Boyega, you know fuck all.
True, but also: they didn't really know what to do with Adam Driver, of Daisy Ridley, or #StarWars in general.

John Boyega says some fans are only okay with Black characters in Star Wars because they’re “the best friend.”
“They're okay with us playing the best friend, but once we touch their heroes, once we lead, once we trailblaze, it's like, 'Oh my God, it's just a bit too much! They're pandering!'"

1) Nausicaa: one of the first (and still best) #anime movies I've ever seen. If only Miyazaki could fully put the manga on a screen.
2) The Boy and the Heron: a movie so good it convinced my dad to try anime.
3) The Wind Rises: the best movie I'll never rewatch.

I always say Totoro is my favourite film from my birth year, and that year also had Die Hard/Roger Rabbit so you KNOW I’m serious.
Because everyone is talking about Ghibli but the conversation is depressing, let’s shift it slightly: what’s your fav film of theirs? For me it’s:
1) My Neighbor Totoro
2) Porco Rosso
3) If I HAVE to pick, Princess Mononoke but I could easily switch it for Howl or even Only Yesterday.

You've heard of #TTRPG -- now here's a wall-pin RPG. "DUDE DIED", pictured here in its entirety, has one of the players take the role of the Dude, and the others become his unhealthy cope mechanisms, like Agression, Domination or Supression of Emotions. The goal of the game is for Dude to not Die.

While we're talking linguistics, here's a little fun story. Sergey Mikhalkov, a prominent Soviet poet (best known for co-authoring the USSR anthem), had written a poem for kids about the World War II. It had the following lines: (1/3)

Here's another possible source of inspiration #Tolkien might have used: The Wanderer (Widfarend), a X century old English poem. Here's a quote:
Where have the horses gone? where are the riders? where is the giver of gold?
Where are the seats of the feast? where are the joys of the hall?
Where have the horses gone? where are the riders? where is the giver of gold?

Speaking of #Tolkien, actually reading old European epics gave me some new insights into his work. For example, kennings (metaphors) for kings are frequently based on their generocity, calling them "giver of rings", "spender of rings", or... That's right, "lord of rings".

For the #TolkienReadingDay I've finally read his essay "The Monsters and the Critics". In it JRRT defends Beowulf and its use of monsters, calling it an "heroic elegy", created by a scholar from pieces of now lost epics. Was he, perhaps, seeing himself in its autor, and talking about his own work?..

"Spring Spirit"
I did a series of animal spirits that herald the seasons. I'd love some sunshine and flowers and greenery, but this is the reality of spring right now for us in New England!
