Very exciting programme! Mushrooms, monsters, magic, and space spiders (loving the panel discussion themes) Fan meetups, author readings, and elaborate performances #Glasgow2024

got me thinking... why do we call the short articles published in SM 'posts' anyway? virtual postcards through the letterboxes of our eyes, the verb/noun is also redolent of hammering a heavy stick into the ground for the purpose of displaying signage like 'vote for X', 'buy Y', or 'this way to Z'

Satirical pottery - activism through the medium of comedy stoneware (noting that the iconography bears the plausible deniability of wild man mythology) Apparently the Cardinal depicted in leering fury as a jug was opposed to drinking alcohol See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartman...

Bulging features of the clay caricature are etched in scrawled lines that evoke the deranged expression
Antique jug in a museum display, labelled as: "Salt glazed stoneware jug, late 17th century. Made in the kilns at Frechen, Germany. Jugs like this were known as Bellarmine because their rotund shape and bearded face were meant to ridicule Cardinal Bellarmine, a major opponent of the Dutch Protestants in the 17th century"
The other interpretation signage from this Historic Scotland display in Linlithgow Palace reads: "Bellarmine English late 17th century", confusingly contradicting the claimed German origin, or perhaps referring to the location of collection.

Same! I think traveling for work made me realise that the majority of food on restaurant menus is only a viable option for up to 1 day, then you get homesick for actual nutrition. You've raised an important issue! May your plates be filled with colour

I buried my laptop in a hole in the woods - and it fruited. A mole used the battery to jump start the mycelial network and its kids hotspotted the flyagarics to download acorn metal from the badgers. Each springtime I return to harvest the Doomsday Bluebells

A meal without veggies isn't really a meal. Most restaurants serve oversized snacks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Having worked in restaurants, I suspect this is a lot to do with practicalities of stocking and prepping vegetables)

Diagram from Harvard medical school indicating that half the plate should consist of fruit and vegetables (potatoes don't count)

I keep seeing the black rabbit of Inlé

Several wild bunnies graze in an open field, most of them are light brown while one has black fur

Dogs: there for you when you need your face licked Bsky: there for you when you want to see more art that looks like the mythology of Watership Down
