There’s more!
Silver had great value and aesthetic appeal in many ancient cultures where it was used to make jewellery, tableware, figurines, ritual objects and rough-cut pieces known as hacksilver which could be used in trade or to store wealth. The metal of choice to mint coinage for long periods, acquisition of silver mines in such places as Greece, Spain, Italy, and Anatolia was an important factor in many an ancient conflict. The metal was also found, amongst other places, in mines in ancient China, Korea, Japan, and South America where it was transformed into beautifully-crafted objects for elite use and to give as tribute and prestige gifts between states. Easily mined, worked, reusable, and brilliantly shiny, silver was one of the few truly international commodities which both connected and divided the ancient world.
I claimed Jesus in a roleplay server and I was really bummed that for the next 3 days I couldn’t use him.
pretty sure in Catholic canon Jesus went to hell in those three days so guess what (:
HE WHAT
It’s called the Harrowing of Hell and it is a part of catholic mythology! The idea is that while Christ was dead for three days, he went to hell and just kinda…whooped ass until he came back.
He girlbossed his way out of that one, methinks
Item: Big Wizard Hat
@imaginationshow care to, ah, toss your hat into the ring? ;)
Cute baby hat you’ve got there!
Holy shit yeah that’s a hat
@evilwizard there's been a lot of talk about high wizard hats, but what do those brims mean for wizard hierarchy?
greater height implies a better ranking in the wizard council. greater width is correlated to more magical knowledge. ive heard of wizards whose hats grew so large they became libraries
Okay, I love making a nice thick book, but there's something about boxes that is just SO rewarding. Now, who here has heard of a peller pop-up box? I have to add a disclaimer that even of this post, I have made... three whole boxes, ever. But my personal take is that what's the point of diving into a craft if I'm not gunning for a target far above my skill level? The ambition gives me a thrill, I don't have to feel bad if I fail, and if I succeed, the rush is SUBLIME. And now I have a box with a mechanism (a ribbon) that pops the book out of an inner sleeve when I open it. I'm in love.
This was a learning process and a half! The only instructions I can find for this are some handwritten notes from a class in 1990, and the person who posted those notes also posted a number of critiques of the technique as described in the class. Also, the class notes (and addendums) come from an expert perspective, catering to experts. I'm an enthusiastic amateur who's still learning basic competence with leather. I was smart enough not to do a leather slipcase, but overconfident enough to cover my spine and edges in leather, haha. But even though I have a LOT of notes for what to tweak next time, I love it SO MUCH
I arbitrarily decided to work with my millimeter binding of 'and love unbolts the dark' by blackkat for this experiment, because it's small, it's one of my favorites, I had more of the leather I used for its edges, and I thought I had more of the cover fabric and it would be a good match to one of my yellow marbled papers. As you can probably tell from those photos, things didn't quite go that route!
First, I couldn't find the fabric. It might be in here somewhere, but I have FAR too much fabric, lmao. But I did find a lot of this dark green one, in the same line, and with some lovely color overlap, and a nice aesthetic match for the leather. And then I also realized that the marbled paper was a Lot in comparison to the rest of what I was pulling together. So I left it as a liner for the inner slipcase, to tie into the yellows of the original fabric. Then I dug up an embossed teal paper that matched the dominant palette of the new fabric, and went for broke. And I love this so much, truly, it was a headache trying to wrap my head around the instructions and I still have some minor complaints about the process, but I am so, so pleased right now. I would joke about how little time it will be before I do this again, but... I've already started
Spooky season is finally here so I put together a few designs celebrating books and libraries. If you like them, feel free to use them! Four poster designs and four bookmark designs! Again, these posters and bookmarks are absolutely free for you to print and use!
School and public libraries are under attack and need your support. Please consider contacting your local representative to ask that these institutions remain funded and protected.
For additional freebies celebrating Banned Books Week, please check out my Tumblr post here.
If you would like to see more of my library/activism designs or would like to get these designs on a T-shirt, book bag, or sticker, you can visit my shop here.
This is actually something I was thinking about is that rent can not exceed 1/3 of monthly minimum wage income.
So let's say state is on federal Minimum wage which is about 1100 a month so in that state no matter what rent on any place could not exceed 370 dollars.
Even if minimum wage was 15 dollars (about 2400 a month) max rent could be 800
So if landlord want more money they would have to fight bosses and state legislature to get it.
Like average Pennsylvania rent is 1400 and in this world if landlord wanted to charge that the would have to get minimum wage raised to 26 dollars an hour.
To bosses and landlords:
@timemachineyeah These sound like your kinds of thoughts.
Health care via workplace takes away your labor freedom. Your labor freedom is a threat to employers. Dots connected.
Also isn't this the guy who gave himself a huge pay cut to give all his employees raises? Yeah listen to this guy
- A luxury you can’t live without? - A luxury I can’t live without? Coffee. I really like good coffee. - That’s not a luxury, you can get it anywhere. - …I like nice socks?

Bear witness to the disconnect between a Boomer’s idea of luxury and a Millennial’s.
“Larry, I’m on DuckTales” is something I enjoy saying when I suddenly find perspective.
