I had a really good time this weekend LARPing and I was on an absolute high from essentially taking part in a community group art project. (The joint creation of an imaginary world). But what stays with me is the conversation this morning out of character when it was confirmed that there is an uptick … Read More
I feel like I’m playing a horrific version of Good Thing Bad Thing lately. I am considering leaving one of the games I play due to something happening which I consider beyond the pale. I’m waiting to see the organising team’s response and then I’ll work out if that’s a space I want to be … Read More
America is fascist now and people are creaming their pants over criminals. (Yes I mean Luigi). And over here public protest has been conflated with terrorism. I’m feeling tired as fuck. I showed The Jellicle Barbie which she had managed to miss due to global pandemics. She spent most of it going “what the fuck?” … Read More
Today I finished the tale of a dead man. It’s banal but feels significant in that way that life does sometimes. I was with LT. We got to talking about Feles Umbra and that she had toasted him at the symbl last Saturday. It was through Leth that she’d met him, I had thought she … Read More
We symbled on Saturday. It’s a modern Heathen drinking ritual, part of a Blot sometimes but something that stands alone and has enough of a grounding that atheists and other religious types can join in. You roughly stand in a circle pass the mead horn around and each person toasts three rounds: the first for … Read More
(Content Warning – grisly discussion of the circumstances of the death of a friend) On Saturday I had my Mexican Party complete with symbl for Lammas in the middle of it and Lithuanian Troll toasted Fele Umbra. I had not thought about toasting him with the honoured dead, and apparently she thought twice because she … Read More
This week I heard about Fele Umbra dying. I have a lot of thoughts. Not least because I knew him most through the Naiad and Hijinks. Mostly I remember the few times I was sober meeting him and a morass of drunken times merged into one. I say I was sober, I’m not completely certain … Read More
Right now I think it’s gotta be; No LGB without the T More of a chant than a quote I guess but relevant.
Ha! I did this last time too – talked about artists who’d fit today yesterday! In anycase, I have a real soft spot for Seasons of Love from RENT.
I mean my favourite is probably Miss Vanjie… but not for any other reason than her instincts to grab for whatever worked and then ride that train home. Which I suspect I could probably think of someone more ‘worthy’ on the other hand – aren’t we all worthy and isn’t a role model just another … Read More
