I realize it's about time I started posting my Faction Paradox reviews on here - just put out a review of the fascinating Wallowing in Pessimism's Mire from @obversebooks.bsky.social !

It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet.

(Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

did you know? the Rail Corridor isn't the first abandoned railway in Singapore to be turned into a walking trail, nor is it even the second. Today we're at Duxton Plain Park, the oldest "rail corridor" in Singapore.

Tonight, the #FactionParadox website is proud to present an exclusive interview with @kateorman.bsky.social, editor of "Liberating Earth" for @obversebooks.co.uk — and a new vignette tying in with that book's framing story!

factionparadox.co.uk/interview-01...
factionparadox.co.uk/greatpearlgi...
A cropped version of the illustration for Kate Orman's new Faction Paradox prose vignette Great Pearl Girl. It is a black-and-white image depicting a four-headed ram-god similar to Banebdjedet, standing against a stark black sky lit by a single sun or moon. Each ram-head has only a single eye, and those of the two central heads merge together into one, making three eyes in all.

A drawing of June Gazpacho from Disparate Minds. She’s an inquisitive looking blonde woman. Behind her is a purple swirl that looks perhaps out of watercolor. A drawing of Wick Elden from Disparate Minds. A masc presenting non-binary person with faint dark blue hair. They’re wearing a turtleneck and a purple jacket with pins. Smoke surrounds them. A drawing of Serena Taj from Disparate Minds. She’s a mixed-race teenager with a sullen expression and stringy, dark hair. Her face is illuminated with the light of her phone. A drawing of Anthea ______ from Disparate Minds. She is a classy, imperious looking African American woman. She is middle aged, wearing fancy earrings and her hair is full and long. She is surrounded by darkness.

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Two reviews in two days‽ Yep! And this time we've got a retrospective on Cwej: Requiem from Arcbeatle Press. It's rough around the edges to say the least, but I'm nevertheless looking forward to what the rest of Cwej: The Series has to offer...!

little one

i haven't seen a lot of art with pterosaur embryos, so i tried to give it a try. and damn, was it hard without good references. random species since i was trying to figure out things in general. might get back to it later and draw another if i learn more about it!
#paleoart #sciart
A realistic digital drawing with pterosaur embryo, 3 stages of development are shown. The left one is still tiny and barely resembles a pterosaur. It has a big and not fully developed yet eye, a thin neck and a tiny body. The second one, in the middle, starts looking like a pterosaur already. It's a little more developed, has a beak, and already has a thin membrane between the wings and legs. The yolk with blood vessels is also shown there. The last drawing on the right shows the late stage of development, it's already fuzzy, curled up with it's head between folded wings. The exact species is unknown.
