hello hello, I just asked marbirds about joining their art server that gives weekly prompts cuz that seems super fun and apparently you're in charge! is the server open to new people?

Just wondering where you got your icon, or how you made it - I love the style!

RE Emily St John Mandel I also really love how she worked shipping into multiple books. The abstract nature of supply chains is made human by sympathizing with characters who manage the shipping containers and even live on them - long, lonely, isolating months at sea on weird schedules mirroring the disconnection we have from production of goods we use. But it's also romantic in a way - I saw a quote from stardew valley on here that goes 'Look out there, at the endless sea. Deep underwater, all kinds of life forms are moving around in the dark.' I think she puts that vibe into the book too, describing the boats as steadfast, following a path to their destination as part of a vast network of other ships all moving in perfect coordination.

GOD when I saw natasha Pierre in NYC I was also very confused by the lobby and then absolutely BLOWN OVER when I got into the theater. Seats were in the very back row which was actually a plus because you could see all the chandeliers and the whole stage. Have not stopped thinking about the lighting design and how precise and atmospheric it was ever since.
