i agreed to socialize and then had to explain the history of iconoclasm in monotheistic societies from the Late Antique to the late medieval/modern in order to explain why a tiktok trend positing that Loki is the original false One God is bullshit. why does this keep happening.

Midnight fishing
During a foggy night, the crew of a fishing trawler is hoping for the catch of their lifes. Meanwhile the lighthouse and the full moon illuminate the night to help the fishers navigate these dangerous waters.
Behind the scenes
In the two photos below, you can see my setup for this picture. I made myself a little water pit with some watertight foil used for garden ponds and filled it with water. Some well placed stones (together with the fog) help to hide the edges in the view of the camera. The fog comes from a smoke machine (not in the pictures) and the moon is a round lamp suspended over the scenery. To give some movement to the water surface, I used a fan and since I don't have three or four arms, the self-timer mode of the camera was very helpful...

«It's been many a winter since the lady of the castle impaled herself on the grim rocks. Although, they say it was her jealous cousin who pushed her from the battlements. Later on said cousin married her husband, the lord of the castle. Forever since, the lady have been seeking revenge upon them both, and all living relatives.»
another older drawing of mine, from early 2021.

every time i see trad gender roles people being weird about fibercraft i wanna tell them
-medieval and early modern knitting guilds were full of men learning and perfecting fancy knitting techniques to impress rich clients
-in cold, wet climates like the scottish highlands knitting was done by the whole family, in fact it was the perfect activity to do while a man was out on a fishing boat or in the pasture with his sheep and cattle
-men who were away from women for a long time had to know how to knit and sew at least well enough to mend their own clothes. soldiers knitted. sailors knitted. cowboys and frontiersmen knitted. vikings probably knitted (actually they would have been doing a kind of proto knitting called nalbinding, but that's beside the point). all those guys the far right love to treat as ultra masculine heroes were sitting around their barracks and campfires at night darning their socks and knitting themselves little hats
