Left: the Stalker, from Tarkovsky's film Stalker, lies curled on his side on a mossy rock in a pool of water, as a black dog runs towards him from the distance.

Right: the Haruspex, from the game Pathologic, lies curled on his side on a bare rock atop a ceremonial mound, as a black-bodysuited Tragedian prances towards him from the right.

A map, of sorts. Its a parchment covered in dense scrawls of very dark ink. on the left half is what looks like a frozen river filled with jagged ice crystals, above a large tree. the entire right half is taken up by some kind of creature in a fetal position, encased in a giant sac. various strange glyphs litter the margins.

Vlad the Younger: "You were found in the earth. Pulled out of a grave. So you're saying you've made your way out of the Steppe and can't remember anything now? Then I have no doubt that you're the shabnak-adyr. I've studied the legends thoroughly."

Changeling: "How can I prove that I'm human?"

A captcha: "Select all squares with a Polyhedron. If there are none, click skip". The nine square images are: a tornado; a hornet's abdomen; the painting 'White Figure' by Wassily Kandinsky; a bellows; a conch shell; a retort (glass vessel for distilling in chemistry); a chrysalis; a butt plug; and a paper lantern.

vfig @vfig.bsky.social · 1d

well, if no-one knows how big they can get, why not big enough to enclose a solar system?

Here's an update from Ryah: youtu.be/qhySFMDQZEE

Let's help get her to 100% funded so she has time to finish getting diagnosed and treated, as well as job hunt!

P.S. if you know of any IT / technical support jobs in BC, Canada or Remote-friendly, let me know and I'll send them Ryah's way!

made the mistake of attempting to read an article on rockpapershotgun and had to fight off two popup videos and approximately 17 tall ads interspersed between paragraphs.

some things _were_ better in the past.

i really enjoyed the physical aspect of ringing though: handling this big mass by just gentle working of the rope; feeling what the bell was doing through the rope; and learning the knack of getting your bell to ring at just the right time, since you have to put power into the rope well in advance.
