aza @sazandorable.bsky.social · Nov 7

ok uh. uh. for now i don't have the energy to try Dividing stuff with lists or different accounts for the interacting with respectable professionals, the gayming liveblogging, the anime spamming, and the insane NSFW worms, so we'll SEE how long that lasts. not sorry (yet?)

Here's a video of my latest lino block print, "Nightglow", showing off the purple pearlescent dust I applied when the ink was still wet. It was a fun experiment! Though very, very messy haha

The Royal Game of Ur is the world’s oldest playable boardgame!

Played by Sumerians in ancient Mesopotamia about 4,500 years ago!

It is a two-player race game, the rules of which have been deciphered from a cuneiform tablet.

Game from the Royal Cemetery of Ur. 📷 British Museum

#Archaeology

British Museum photo showing a two-player board game with gaming counters known as the Royal Game of Ur. Dated c. 2,500 BC.

The game board is composed of a hollow box made of wood adorned with shell plaques. There is a drawer at one end for storing game pieces and dice. The top of the board is covered with twenty square-shaped off-white shell plaques, each bordered with dark-blue lapis lazuli. The shell squares are intricately decorated with blue inlaid patterns including dots inside circles and eye-shapes. Five squares are inlaid with flower-shaped rosettes with red limestone and blue lapis lazuli petals.

The game board is roughly rectangular in shape. Viewed from above in the photo, on the left side of the board is a block of 12 squares made up of 4 across by 3 down. On the right side of the board is a block of 6 squares made up of 2 across by 3 down. The two blocks are joined by two squares extending between the second square down on the end row of the left block and the second square down on the first row of the second block.

Dimensions H: 2.40 cm, L: 30.10 cm, W: 11 cm, (W 5.70 cm at narrowest part)

Beneath the board are 14 disc-shaped gaming counters. On the left are 7 white pieces, inlaid with 5 spots of blue lapis lazuli. On the right are 7 black pieces inlaid with five white spots.

Between the game pieces are three tetrahedron-shaped dice. L to R: Dark blue, brown, cream.

cass coming to live from france to belgium was horribly stressed out bc it was easy and painless and thus she didn't believe she was doing it right. it HAD to be more arcane and convoluted. (tbf she got rejected a first time)
the french side of it remains incomprehensible and buggy tho

Panel 1: A tiny fairy godmother from Cinderella is hovering in the air pointing her wand at a carriage in the background, with a teal primary color and gold trim. The general shape and decoration of the carriage seem to have a "rat" motif. The fair godmother says "Okay Cinderella, just to be TOTALLY CLEAR ... At the stroke of midnight, this magical carriage WILL turn back into a giant rat."

Panel 2: Cinderella, in her classic blue dress and blue headband, clasps her hands together in worry looking up at the fairy godmother, saying "OH NO!! Heaven forbid the PRINCE lays his eye on such vileness!"

Panel 3: The prince looks on as she's riding away on a giant rat into the moonlight, having dropped one of her dirty-ass sneakers in his courtyard. The prince is Shen also.

Panel 4: The prince says "that was really hot how she rode away on a giant rat."

Actually... from my reading of the artists' basic income report, the government did not earn money back from the scheme (although its costs were offset 37%)

Most gains were societal and came from putting the artists' improvements in wellbeing in € terms

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

it’s always a lovely day when people realize weirdos are the backbone of any fandom and trying to make everyone “normal” kills everything enjoyable about it. fandom wouldn’t exist if people could be normal about things.
