Reintro post time I suppose. I'm Casey. Writer, poet, photographer, game developer, drummer. My bio is light on work identifiers, but you may have found me via my web novel INTO THE MIRE or my work on Mini Motorways, flavour text on Magic: the Gathering, or Darkest Dungeon II!
This selfie depicts a woman with big glasses and an unruly mess of wavy blonde hair. She smirks down at the camera. A blue-tinted screenshot of minimalist transit simulator game Mini Motorways. A screenshot of the Gothic RPG Darkest Dungeon II where the character Sahar is telling another character to "spare her the doe eyes and undress." This menacing book cover features a small figure hemmed in by a ruddy tinged swamp environment. It is titled INTO THE MIRE.

Something lovely for the weekend!

Minoan cups made by Bronze Age potters some 3,800 years ago!

Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo collage shows five cylindrical Minoan cups each with a single handle and a slightly flaring rim. Each cup is decorated with a different geometric polychrome motif as follows: Top left: on a black background, a central band delineated by an upper and lower white line contains evenly-spaced dark-orange circles, each orange circle is outlined by a white line. Above and below the central band are swirling white vine-like lines. Top right: on a black background, a large white spiral on the front of the cup and beside it a dark-orange oval with stylised white petals at each end which looks like a wrapped sweet! Middle left: a central band of white and dark orange diagonal lines runs around the cup. Above and below the central band are alternating black and white diagonal shapes, the black ones look like shark fins Bottom left: a central reddish-orange band delineated with a white line. Above the central band are swirling, spiralling white lines against a black background, and below the central band are alternating white and black diagonal lines. Bottom right: all set against a black background. A central band delineated with white lines contains white ‘s’-shaped diagonal white stripes. Above the central band a row of red dots outlined with white circles. Below the central band a single white line on the black background. This type of Minoan pottery is known as Kamares Ware, named after the Kamares Cave on Mount Ida on the Greek island of Crete where this kind of pottery was first discovered. Kamares Ware vessels were luxury items produced by palace workshops at Phaistos and Knossos on Crete. These five cups were excavated at Phaistos and are dated 1800-1700 BC.

I bounced around a lot last year, easy to wonder where in god's name I washed up from. I've really enjoyed spending more time up in Auckland these last couple of years

Fish tacos, bush walks, and sweaty pints at Piha
This vista showcases the iconic Lion Rock formation at Piha Beach, with swim flags and tiny swimmers standing in reflective, shallow puddles. Fluffy clouds adorn a bluebird sky, waves lapping at the shore, as the Pacific stretches out to the horizon. Tiny beachgoers stand near the crumbling cliffs of a beachy head. Waves roll in, pale grey-blue beneath a bright bluebird sky.

Turning 38 with my dearest friends in a beautiful place
Misty droplets tumble down a tall three-storey waterfall which is set in thick tropical bush. Surrounded by green palms and moss, the falls lead to a swimming hole that people are eagerly enjoying. Above it all, a bluebird sky is dotted with just enough clouds to provide merciful cover from the sun (Kitekite falls near Piha) Swimming holes abound in this river whose clear water is tinged blue-green. The bush surrounding is thick and wild, people enjoying picnics and lounging where they can

There are a lot of half-formed notions of Renee Good circulating right now. This poem is the most accurate artifact of her we have access to; a piece of her soul that remains in the world. Read her words and become her for a moment; let her live in you. So long as men can breathe & eyes can see.

ON LEARNING TO DISSECT FETAL PIGS
By Renee Nicole Macklin Good

i want back my rocking chairs,

solipsist sunsets,

& coastal jungle sounds that are tercets from cicadas and pentameter from the hairy legs of

cockroaches.

The new Norfolk Iron Age carnyx find featured on #DiggingForBritain with @profaliceroberts.bsky.social is beyond spectacular, dating to that crucial period for the Iceni between Caesar’s expeditions & Boudica’s rebellion. Already my find of the decade, today is a day to worship the carnyx…
