Heaven has been abandoned- the angels left to fend for themselves for so long that the once-paradise is now a wasteland. As if by a miracle, a human soul gains entry: 09. Gerhardt, his guardian angel, is called to his side. But…how did this happen, and why?

Illustration, cover. 09 looks behind and up at the viewer as he plugs a large red cable into the back of his neck. Feather float down around him.

Illustration. Gerhardt landing atop a scrap-cherub - its oil dripping down his leg. 09, behind him, looks shocked at the display in front of him.

Illustration. 09 and Gerhardt sit together in an abandoned factory while it storms outside.

Illustration. Gerhardt raises the body of a dismembered angel, displaying it proudly. Oil drips like blood from its dangling limbs.

After being adopted by Aart, a solitary reed farmer, Marijn will have to learn how to fight against the indoctrination of the god of the land or risk losing her autonomy and the lives of those she cares for.

Girl in red dress stands in a dark reed field, with a red moon behind her head.

Title page, Part One, Cricket. First page depicts misty 15th cent dutch farm. A young girl sits forlornly- looking over at two men in the distance who are having a discussion

One man calls the girl, Marijn, over. She walks over and is regarding coldly by the second man. He says he’ll take her in, much to the first man’s joy and her chagrin.

Marijn is sent to sit in the cart and wait for the men as they finish their discussion. She looks unhappy. The second man, Aard, reassures the first man that he will take care of Marijn.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process:
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

If these ID laws stay in place across America we will see more identity theft then ever before. It could genuinely become a type of financial epidemic. If you're in a state with these laws: PLEASE GOD email your reps about the recent Discord hack and ask them how they plan to protect you.

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Elon Musk Leads Campaign To Force Netflix To Remove Shows With Trans Characters

Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.
