Mud Ghost Estate is a spooky tumbling block tower-based TTRPG inspired by the urban legends and folklore of Hong Kong. 👻
The Redux edition is now crowdfunding on Kickstarter!

⛰️山海経28: 鸀鳥。六つ首で黄色くて青い鳥。近世になると6本首というより「1首6頭」の姿で描かれがち。あの渋滞ぶりがツバメの巣みたいで好き。
🌊Shanhai jing 28: Chu-niao. A blue bird with a yellow body and six heads. It might be warm and crowded like a swallow’s nest in breeding season.

If you order from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's "Mall Goth Family Album" collection, they donate the proceeds to #Transanta, which is a way to help without giving Amazon money directly (& getting a little something for yourself in the bargain).

FREE COLORING PAGES!

If you find yourself having to entertain bored kiddies today, you can download a set of 3 free coloring pages including this turkey fellow! (Or you can download for you? Do kids even color anymore? Do adults? I don't know anymore😂)

Looking upon one's likeness is always a little uncanny. But there is some awful radiance to those eyes. As if some creature had taken your shape upon the canvas.

The Exceptional Story in Fallen London for December is Father's Oils, by @rossignol.bsky.social.
A loose, painterly illustration of a sallow and sad-looking, hangdog man. He wears a painter's smock and carries a paintbrush and palette. He's lit from below by a sickly, yellowish light. His face is stubbled and his hair unkempt.

All the Right Wing apologists are cheering the fall in UK immigration announced today while missing what could be a huge problem - 99% of emigrants are under the age of 35. That’s a big brain drain.

We're rewatching The Night Manager which remains very exciting, well plotted, staggeringly cast, and extraordinarily pretty. Most notable, however, is the sheer number of schemes in which someone asserts that everyone would very much like to boink Tom Hiddleston.

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."

Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?

When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

Partner is still on a space movie kick, so we watched Life last night (a re-watch for me, but new to him.) In which Hiroyuki Sanada goes into space again. You'd think his experiences in Sunshine would have been enough by way of salutary warning. But no, once more into the cold, unrelenting vacuum! 😂

My partner's on a space movie kick, so we followed rewatching Event Horizon yesterday by rewatching Sunshine today.

Sunshine is what happens when people go into space, but didn't learn from watching Event Horizon first 🌞

GOOD. It's such a relief to hear someone simply say things like that - the kind of things a decent person would say, but which have somehow become shocking to hear spoken by a politiican, because of the climate of unrelenting bigotry the Tories, Reform and Labour have plunged us into
