Assorted Things

... and PEOPLE turn into FUCKING SHRIMP

Siblings! We have gathered here today to celebrate the finale of our most venerated Silt Verses; as the Trawlerman spoke through Jon & Muna so many years ago so he speaks through us today and orders us to deliver this gift to you: Rejoice! He asks, for we have appeased him with this offering.

(in a hushed voice he thanks everyone for their wonderful contributions. a meal this filling will last him for an entire year….. probably)

He invites you to share the table with him:

Will you take the offer?

"There’s always a way forward, sibling, if you only know where to look.

Come on.

You could lose your life in dreaming. I’m going to show you something real."

Artwork submission for this year's @zineoftideandflesh! The irony of this quote is perfect for the piece it turned out to be. Thoughts and close-ups beneath the cut.

i can't touch it, even though it's mine 🏚️🩸🔥

My prophet and me.

The Silt Verses finale second anniversary is upon us, rejoice!

Ok so roads are important infrastructure. A lot of stuff that's important happens on roads. Now, let's imagine that quadrillionaire Matt Stench has decided that the next big tech innovation is the Wide Car. It's a car that takes up six lanes despite seating only one passenger.

The Wide Car is supposed to be the future, and everyone's going to be driving Wide Cars, even though nobody who makes Wide Cars is turning a profit. Employers are offering Wide Cars as an employee benefit, and getting "nah." Some employers are going as far as demanding their employees drive Wide Cars, and the result is that people take time out of their workdays to get in the mandatory gas usage for their Wide Car before driving home in a regular car.

In spite of the fact that the Wide Car is clearly set to fail, there's an enormous push to expand to twelve-lane roads to accommodate a bunch of Wide Cars that simply will not materialize. This is not an organic response to demand, but a speculative investment that amplifies the existing issues with road development for no good reason.
