I've been talking about Castle Automatic a lot, but I want to make sure I pull the camera back and talk about the game system it's built for, HIS MAJESTY THE WORM, too. Gonna make a 🧵 about the core game's principles and add to it over the coming week.

Robin Hoskins, an art model of 14 years, wishes people would appreciate the elegance and stamina required to pose for artists. “But most importantly, we need to be able to have a dignified wage and be able to earn a decent living, just like anyone else in any other successful profession.”
Art Models Struggle for a Living Wage and Recognition
The workers who pose for artists at historic organizations like the Art Students League say they are overworked and underpaid in a field that rarely values them.

While an exhibition at the Morgan Library offers a beautiful and instructive display of manuscript artistry, it risks presenting a sanitized vision of the book's history, glossing over the fundamental power dynamics and conflicts inherent in medieval religious life.
Medieval Psalms Were Not For Everyone
An exhibition prioritizes the expensive, silent object over the lived, functional experience of the believer.

Christmas in 1950 was a low time for Langston Hughes. So instead of giving his friends Christmas gifts, he sent out typewritten postcards that expressed his financial state, and enduring holiday cheer.

for anyone new to bluesky or just struggling to make their timeline better, here’s my tip:
follow a bunch of artists that you like and whenever they repost cool art, follow that artist too
soon your timeline will be a steady stream of wonderful art interspersed with news updates on the horrors

Dallas City Hall, an iconic Brutalist landmark, faces potential demolition as city officials weigh its future. This fracas shines a damning light on the dehumanizing self-interest of Texas “wildcatting” — a regional form of American libertarianism.
