have some mari lwyds and other yule creatures 🫙
illustrations of young-looking mari lwyds, entities wearing traditional northeastern european garb covered in ribbons and garlands, with the skulls of horses/deer as a head. They all look friendly though illustrations of northeastern european forest beings, a large painted-skull-faced being with mountain goat horns and tanned hide garb, holding he hand of a much younger one with a little hat of reeds who holds some nuts and berries. As well, a tiny babugeri- a rotund furry being with no face, with an ornate pack on his back containing some twigs

It's happening, it's happening, it's happening! My *debut* poetry collection is nigh!!!

COSMIC TANTRUM: poems as trances, meditations, and masks, poems as bratty reclamations of narratives.

Grateful & excited to work with @marisaemily.bsky.social & Curbstone Books/Northwestern University Press!
Photomontage that's a screenshot of the book announcement, which reads: "COSMIC TANTRUM By Sarah Lyn Rogers Fiction: General/ Other Yesterday Writer and editor Sarah Lyn Rogers's COSMIC TANTRUM, her debut full-length poetry collection, a tragicomic exploration of codependent relationships and the myths we make of ourselves and others, both mundane and fantastical, to Marisa Siegel at Curbstone, for publication in early 2025 (world). Rights: Courtney Smotherman." And then, in the background, there's a collage of images: a black mirror, Little Edie, the cosmos, amethysts, babugeri, a charlie brown seance by tin can forest, a wolf skull, and natalie wood on a bed of stuffed tigers.

Babugeri of Kolarovo
Today, we plan to capture breathtaking landscapes at a nearby waterfall. Later in the afternoon, Ivo arranged another photo shoot with a local Kuker group. But will things go as planned?

I’m built like this btw
Picture of Bulgarian costumes with giant fur suits and very tall necks but no discernible head. From a Wired article: Babugeri and Chaushi, Bulgaria. The bizarre-looking costumes are made from goat skin. Traditionally, they carried a red-painted rod on their belt to represent a phallic object and would brush up against women to make them fertile. Now they just carry a stick. Photo: Charles Fréger

Manny, Moe, Jack, and The -[terrifying] Other One (behind you)
Three babugeri (Bulgarian sacred monsters) stand in a field. Their bodies are covered in silky fur - one brown, one white with brownish patches, one grey and white - obscuring their arms and legs, their necks at least as tall as their bodies (with no visible heads).
