im still recovering from the baggage of renouncing the sensory pleasures of the world just as art deco was taking off.
me roasting another dominican friar in the 16th century abbey’s aquinas class: yeah we should call you natural reason because you have total no-ability (total knowability) (i am defrocked for this)
as we gear up for our next book release, i am authorized to reveal some information the working title (not used) for this one was ‘enter the anglosphere’. the concept was that this would be a doorway for children into their literary heritage - like a treasure chest (back cover): https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6925cb5cda102b77b012f7145d63bb1a8d2146b9710781be31ca5c800154361b.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/874b54fc40b733fac0390040aacab53b841a1708179d032025d6b53bf8ca78f2.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/e750b7d5bb74db6a0897f63a70a15837e1bcd5702013056330f93a0ff285a7f5.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/47ba14adc51ec5a3640dc71fec3c58bee0c42395a0f911238c6f558b86ec1939.file
fascinating watching children form a microcosm of society and its problems. there is a massive soft banana in the play zone. one kid wants to move it. another says it is not to be moved. why? well, it has always been here. it is tradition. this is how civilizations rise and fall.
someone hands my son a sticker. it says, “in a world full of worms, be a glowworm”. really enjoying all the implications here, for example: that the mass of other less excellent children are an inferior type of worm

tibetan calligraphy has a crazy aesthetic. would the average person think this was… southeast asian? islamic? clearly has a slightly ancient ur-style while also being its own thing entirely: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/22441b897a462197ea1a86faf643ffdf77ff812984fc55f0bc95099507568fcb.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/44cc43331186c59e21d482d02ef3fd28aa75971ed7dad9e5b07cd4ee6d683b94.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6f9f3775f85a463e4cf538f2bc3429fd3a82255417d771b9bc55d145fe9887b0.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c8f8e322d53f85ac0acf4dd07badeb0d80d1ebddd4ba6fed9f4ccb2e3edfc7b8.file
