Dr Toboggan's Ungodly Homunculus @aylwin.bsky.social · Oct 18

Period repost of the stuff I do cos I've recently sorted out the very bad spelling and grammar in a couple of things and also finished a new thing: all of them are available for free download here: aylwin-lambert.itch.io

Cover for 'The Forms of Object Apprehension' - it's red, black and blue and loosely designed in the style of 80s/90s science textbooks. Behind the text are various abstract forms.

Cover for 'Construct Your Own RCS - Record Card System and Decorated Storage Seat' - A Research Tool for Using Craft & Creativity in Personal Enquiry - Part Two: Woden Cross Stich. There a images bound by boxes, the two larger ones are based on a birds eye view of a index card box, There are 5 images: a stack of 4 record card boxes, some dickhead using a mitre saw, a cross stiched face, detail from a router being used, close up of a card with stickers and some writing on it.

Cover for Revival: A Proposal for Common Miscellanies. The cover is an almost direct copy of Reaper, a wargame manual that was a predecessor of Warhammer (although it was open for all miniatures- the guy who designed it died penniless round the corner from where I used to live which says a lot really). The only change is a picture of flowers instead of a monster thing (another word for miscellanies was florigellum, literally 'a gathering of flowers')

Want (someone) to make (for me) a horror set during the tulip bubble about tulips that psychically communicate with people, driving them towards murder and madness. Its a incredibly hackneyed metaphor obviously but the level of trash it would be demands that.

I mean there's always the hope it will be career ending for a lot of people who need their careers ending? Maybe trigger some pause and reflection? A reconsideration of how unis are run (I joke obviously, nothing will change).

The bubble crashing and him having to eat shit over it would fix me slightly.

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

In the first 100 days I will dig down into the place of honor. On day one I will issue an Executive Order that the radical woke warning signs be removed and anyone perpetuating the "dangerous and repulsive" lie to be terminated. I will restore the country by touching the ancient treasures.

Knowing what I do of my French family who stayed in France (the half that weren't killed by nazis all drank themselves to death - unsurprisingly to be fair) this was entirely necessary.

"No more than a liter of wine a day" - In the early 1950s, when French wine consumption was 140+ liters/capita, France launched the campaign "Santé Sobriété" to limit alcohol consumption. In 1954, Philippe Foré became the chief designer. #WineHistory`

Yeah, heaven forbid you look at this thread and realise that 'Corbynistas' weren't really a thing and most of the people you're referring do will vote for whichever vaguely left wing party looks like the most credibly option.

Its the same thing as happened with the lib dems in the early 00s although hopefully this time round he doesn't turn out to be a clegg grade piece of shit. Innit, everything else aside what this country really needs are politicians who will tell our press to eat shit.

Dr Toboggan's Ungodly Homunculus @aylwin.bsky.social · 2d

Tbf I think part of it is about the era we're in and Labour having abandoned any pretence of being left wing and people starting to be more convinced about climate change. But also having someone who's prepared to openly mock the express and mail probably helps a lot.

Cant believe my long held belief that people should have full and absolute bodily autonomy, no questions asked has been challenged by a guy who permently looks like his toupee has been snatched by the wind.

A literary Iguanodon at the Earth Sciences Library. Do any other libraries have dinosaurs or other antediluvian creatures carved into the furniture?

I've always felt Will Self was a bit of a shame cos his ideas are generally pretty good but he just writes like such a total cunt.

Also everyone is too fucking knackered to go out even if they could afford it.
