Folklore is a living force. The infrastructure may change from wooden bridge to concrete flyover, but folklore adapts, finds a new life among us. Half-there Folk, Lords of Underside and of course Whisperers, still loiter despite the traffic spluttering above them. – Dr. M. Benn

Some of the mists in our minds are never going to dissipate. Some bits of us are always going to be stuck in November twilight. We walk and jangle the dozens of bottles of pickled time.

I know it's hard for people who never heard The Hum to understand what we Pylon People were about. Transmission towers were our temporary temples. The wires charted the electric ley of the land. We marched under them and heard wonders. – Signal-catcher Rose, ex-Pylon Person #VOH

In county folklore, the Queen of Owls reigns from dusk to dawn. In each of her feathers, a map of wisdom. On each of her talons, three drops of blood to cure or curse. Her carved avatars are everywhere. Each one providing her with intelligence. From pew to pub, she peers upon us all. – Dr. M.Benn

To clarify for Americans as Starmer is shite and we English tend speak polite instead of direct. Americans, we love you, but we learnt from you to refuse mad kings. We expect to be at war with you this year. It doesn’t erase our love for you, but appeasing land-grabbing dictators ain’t happening.

Finally finished my contribution to #CorsetRevivalProject #upcycling contemporary corsets saved from landfill. I’ve highlighted the Arctic Whaling Trade where the whalebone/baleen came from. Working on a 3d base has been a real challenge!

Made these in Dec as Xmas gifts for a couple of good friends. Both were very pleasing to make so I've popped a small batch in the shop, available to pre-order for shipping in Feb. Short run and only available for a limited period.

Anxiety is killing me at the moment.
Just jumped out of bed and ran back to the shop because I couldn't remember locking the door. I had. I just couldn't remember doing it, and that set me off.
Third time this month.

Does anybody in the #boardgame #ttrpg community have any recommendations for places to get boardgame components and boxes produced?
I'm UK based, and would prefer to avoid crazy postage/customs/tariff charges if possible.

The stream that begun high on the moor rushes to meet its salt dissolution. It has carved the ghost soil, collected its tithe of stories for the King-Under-the-Sea. If you've ever wondered how he knows so much of our doing inland, it is because each river and brook is a spy.

I had a dream, a Black Fathom Faith dream that I saw the King-Under-the-Sea. He wore an armour forged from sunken battleships, a crown whose points were the prows of claimed vessels, each with their carved figureheads still screaming salt prophecies. I woke broken. – Claire Ember
