@deerbard Ah! The individuality of perception of scale is one of humanity's flaw and beauties.
@pzmyers He'd have to prove the statements weren't true to succeed; so it's a dangerous ploy.
@jorty It's hyphenated in some style guides, so it's on the way to being a closed construction; no telling exactly when though.
As long as the meaning's clear, one can closeup or not as one wi-shes
Is this #composition any interesting?
@deerbard It interests me.
I'm especially curious about the apparent fence in the mid-left that can be walked around.

Revolt of Blood and Stone by A.J. Norfield
"Norfield blends the classic tropes of prison fiction with those of dark fantasy to create a solid tale of claustrophobic rebellion."

I made a music video not long ago, for my friend and talented writer/teacher/musician, PLANET://DAMAGE:
Comments/critiques are more than welcome!

I saw elsewhere - perhaps Twitter - a criticism of the #cyberpunk idea, reflected in Cyberpunk 2077, that the unaltered human body is somehow sacred, and that augmenting it is profane. The criticism noted that this was, at its core, transphobic.
The critic then turned the idea on its head into a trans-positive cyberpunk that eschewed "humanity" in favor of "essence". Maybe one person's essence is complete when they're born; maybe another's essence is lacking until they augment themselves.
'Millhaven's Tales of Suspense', nine tales of #mystery, #crime, and #espionage, (one of which is mine) is now available: https://www.millhavenpress.com/product-page-2/millhaven-s-tales-of-suspense-volume-1-issue-2
With a selection of cozy sleuths, hardened fighters, and hard-boiled detectives, and a touch of the less than ordinary, it's got a broad range of protagonists with get up and go.
@RecursiveRabbit Ah! You're a (undefined) distance ahead of me then.
Haven't found either of those pigments, but occult art does seem to be fun so good luck to you.
So many choices

@RecursiveRabbit The paintings are a good route to try if you don't want the hassle of the timekeeping needed not to lose a proper job. However, watch out for the vast amounts of mystique it can generate; I ended up having the Suppression Bureau as an almost permanent fixture because there wasn't anything to find but they kept looking.
during a work discussion about natural vs "unnatural" flavors in foods and beverages:
"we made some human sacrifices and opened a gate, welcoming in the gods of chaos and their succulent otherworldly flavours"
I stopped walking when I spotted the cardboard box by the alley.
'Free to a Good Home' was written in cursive on the side.
Five cream and ginger kittens were huddled within.
I couldn't leave it be. I'd have to get them to the no-kill shelter the next town over tomorrow but I wasn't going to just leave them out here overnight.
As I hefted the box, each kitten opened all 3 of their dark eyes. In my head I heard, "Thank you."

#LosAngeles - We have a stray kitten who needs a home!
She's about 12 weeks old. She's from the hard LA streets, so has not had any shots or anything.
They have someone watching her right now, but as you can see from this photo, the person lets it outside to climb in trees and she is probably going to get run over or eaten if this continues.
If you have a home to offer, please @ me. She's currently in the NoHo/Van Nuys area.
