I got a little bottle of black button sage oil today and am seeing whether I can get that to play nice with piñon resin and other desert-y aromatic things.

I have…way too many hobbies. If I had to pick a favorite right now, it’s mucking around with amateur perfumery.

I'm really hoping that we get a metal cover of this one from Little V or Electric Callboy or something.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I'm imagining the all-hands meeting with 20 extra people in a zoom call that had to have happened while that song was in the planning stages, to come up with...that, and yeah

Ann Radcliffe eating hard cheese right before bed to give herself nightmares, Stoker claiming Dracula was the result of a nightmare induced by a “too generous helping of dressed crab,” let’s go back to the golden age of eating incredibly rich food before bed to create horror literature

Doing a lot of reading and listening to music since feeling burned out on other stuff.
I’m determined not to be one of those people whose taste completely ossifies in their 30s. If there’s music you want an excuse to enthuse about/wish more people listened to, send me a rec!

Witcher: Crossroad of Ravens is an enjoyable quick read. It follows the first year or so of Geralt’s Witchering career, and has an energy more like the short story collections than the later “saga” novels.
