you, a child: small acts of love can change the future

me, the Kwisatz Haderach: a million-million futures extend out from this moment, each one modulated by the tiniest variations in my choices and every last one of them drenched in blood

Katharine Hayhoe @katharinehayhoe.com · 10d

I may have found my defining quote.

Pair this with my pinned post and you will see what I mean!

From a poster called “just shower thoughts“ reading: when people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically, changing the present by doing something small, barely anyone in the present to really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small.

"but, but, there are five candles on the menorah that shouldn't even be there" sounds like you're doing a whole lotta drowning when you should be dripping

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

Eric Adams surrounded by members of the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation. He is wearing a blue velvet jacket that is embroidered with gold Magen David’s and other Jewish seeming patterns, including multiple menorahs. Everyone else is just in button down shirts or normal suits. He is not blending in.

Holy shit, there's a Salammbô vidéo game?

Cover, I think, of the game
It's inspired by Druillet's depiction of Salammbô but with 2000s graphics

ML Kejera @mlkejera.bsky.social · 26d

I think Phillipe Druillet adapted Salammbô the best. Using sci-fi to get at Flaubert’s orientalist vision of antiquity is so brilliant. And much of the original text is just directly included

Page from Salammbô by Druillet. Hard to describe but it's sci-fi art. The text is Spendius and Matho discussing how easy it would be to take Carthage

Page from Salammbô by Druillet. Hard to describe but it's sci-fi art. Just an opening page showing Salammbô decked out in how in her chambers before going to Matho. Her serpent is at the bottom of the page

Page from Salammbô by Druillet. Hard to describe but it's sci-fi art. Some collage here too is used to represent Salammbô as a naked woman. Scene depicting Matho going to her chambers with the zaimph

Page from Salammbô by Druillet. Hard to describe but it's sci-fi art. Salammbô discussing why Tanit, whom she loves, feels far from her with her caretaker

My webcomic... updated??!?
📨 Alexander, the Servant & the Water of Life
4 Page Update, start here: alexanderromance.com/comic/chapte...
About: reimenayee.com/alexander
Subscribe to newsletter: buttondown.com/reimena

The card is supplementary to the post, but it's just a preview of the latest page (Alexander and the Servant chilling), links to the website, and some little blurbs reminding folks the printed edition of Book 1 is available and that they can also support me on Ko-fi. The card is framed by drawings of angels and artists from across eras, including a portrait of me, the sun and the moon, foliage, and Alexander, Bucephalus and the Servant riding atop a fish.

Book 2, Chapter Eight: Genesis, Pages 211 and 212

A quote from Strabos:
“All who narrate the glories of Alexander favour the fantastic over the truth.”

My friends, welcome back.
The last time we left Alexander was at the aftermath of the griffins.

Here he is, well and busy,
occupied by the map to the End of the World, given to him by the mysterious Lady,
mountains of notebooks and stationary,
and a letter which he is in the middle of penning.

“King Alexander greets his dearest mother, Olympias,
and wishes you good health.
A long time has passed since my last letter…”

Israel is shelling and bombing near Sama'a's home and family as she struggles to care for her young daughter and newborn baby. Even a small donation makes a difference.

Some recent reviews of which I'm particularly proud. I write about, on average, five movies/shows a month, with occasional original horror stories and book reviews thrown in. If you enjoy my work, it's a great time to support it!

I’m out here in downtown Los Angeles for the 24-community stoppage events—currently following a blocks-long car caravan that started its journey out in MacArthur Park and is headed into downtown. As usual, it’s a party
