Donkey Work

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM Royal Shakespeare Theatre,  Stratford upon Avon, Thursday 29th February 2024 Among Shakespeare’s works, this romantic comic fantasy ranks as one of his greatest hits, and done well, it’s easy to see why.  It’s also something that in the wrong hands, can be rather twee.  Eleanor Rhode’s new production dispenses with the forest – even the fairies are reduced to tiny orbs…

Realised I never posted this here so have a height chart I made for my current DnD group, the Capables (still waiting for that name to bite us in the ass) Mainly drew this because it's hard to realise how absolutely tiny halflings are until you see it in context

Left to right it is Kel, the aarakocra wizard, Eliza, the human gunslinger, Patty and Brie, both halfling clerics, Calliope, the elven warlock, Tanniks, the dragonborn barbarian, Nana the halfling monk and Zac, the half orc half elf druid.

I saved these like paper dolls so might do an updated version later to reflect gear upgrades. Full art for all eight is below the cut, it's not all the same size so tumblr is being annoying about displaying it

Read recently: A Psalm For The Wild-Built by Becky Chambers

If I start counting the pages after every reading session and a 100ish pages novella takes me 8 days to read, that is not a good sign. I liked the world very much, but the story never drew me in. I guess, these types of philosophical stories aren't for me .

But it does have beautiful cover art.

Five silkscreen prints (Five Women who Changed the World series) by Oda Mayumi (b. 1941) These five silkscreen prints form the series Five Women who Changed the World, made by Oda Mayumi—an artist so well known for the fluid treatment of her female subjects that she has been called “The Matisse of Japan.” Born in Tokyo to an artist mother and a father who was a Buddhist monk, she moved to the United States in the late 1960s to study graphic arts in New York and now lives in Hawaii. A large part of her output across the decades until the present has focused on different manifestations of “goddess” imagery. She takes a cross-cultural, trans-historical approach, celebrating aspects of divine feminine power through the ages. The five prints of this series—Five Women who Changed the World—focus on historical and legendary female figures whose tremendous impact on world history and mythology has been associated with their sexual powers: the Chinese concubine Yang Guifei, Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, the female Shinto deity Ama no Uzume no Mikoto, and Eve.

Medieval Monk's 'Unique' Seal Matrix Found in England

A medieval seal matrix discovered by a metal detectorist is "a window into someone's spiritual world just before the Black Death", an expert has said.

The "completely unique" gilded silver object, found in a field north of Norwich, probably belonged to a monk.

Its inscription "I beseech thee, holy sun of righteousness, be the way" has not been found on any other object, according to historian Helen Geake.

"It's a really sophisticated object with a really good design," she said.

Dr Geake, Norfolk's find liaison officer, said: "It's completely unique, we don't have anything to compare with this inscription.

"The 'sun of righteousness', appears in the Old Testament, towards the end of a set of prophecies, and became a relatively common way of referring to Jesus Christ in the Middle Ages."

The medieval Latin inscription reads TE: ROGO: IVSTICIE: SOL: PIVS: ESTO: VIE / AVE MA.

The 24.6mm (0.9in) seal, which dates to the late 13th or early 14th Century, covering the reigns of Edward I to Edward III, was found in April in a field near Horsham St Faith.

Its detailed design includes a crowned Virgin Mary holding the Christ child and kneeling to her right is a monk looking up at her, identified by his tonsure.

He would have attached the matrix to a handle and used it to stamp an impression on wax to authenticate documents.

Dr Geake said another "unusual" aspect of the find is that it appears to be designed for "a detachable handle, with the matrix rotating either to lock it in position, or to remove it, as if interchangeable die could be used with the same handle".

The die is the part of the matrix which stamps wax.

She believes it must have been owned by a monk and he would have exchanged the die with others, one of which was personal and another to reflect his official role in the monastery.

"It's unique in two different ways - it's interchangeable and it has this little, private prayer," Dr Geake said.

"It's a window into someone's personal, emotional or spiritual world in the years before the Black Death."

The pandemic swept through Europe between 1347 and 1351, with a huge loss of life.

The find is the subject of a coroner's inquest.

erm and obligatory disclaimer for any who might read that i don’t think “queer” or “lesbian” is a necessarily coherent category of books or adequate descriptor for a novel which is why i’ve also provided the actual genres here (sorted into which ever one i felt best fit) and descriptions. and these books have much more going on than just being about lesbians. however all books are undeniably awesomer with lesbians so yayyyyy
