i'm trying something t. susan chang mentioned - making a little rhyming couplet from a pair of cards... somehow transmuting a reading into something artistic to kind of imbibe its meaning, make it yours, integrate it into your life.

i'll probably want to start some sort of project again with the start of the new year - not really sure yet what, or how intensive. but since i've been working quite hard this year on tarot, contentment, supportive habits, curbing online/impulsive/emotion…

visconti-sforza and the polish tarot beautiful pip decks with completely different vibes. visconti-sforza is the one i already used and loved plenty. old gold, muted reds and greens, the most classic deck there is, in a way. matches the changing colors of…

i'm thoroughly surprised at myself and how my art has been going. a week or two ago i got a new sketchbook, mostly because an artist i follow on youtube uses almost exclusively those, when she doesn't make one herself. i've never seen them out in the wild,

after weeks of waiting and refreshing various websites and searching for more EU-based stationary stores, i finally found the notebooks i want to make my next year's journal. idk why they're so hard to find - are they not popular enough to keep in stock?

in response to gemini://detritus.smol.pub/1791652976 you know what, i never really imagined an audience for my writing. i assumed it's small enough and out of the way that probably nobody's going to read it!

good things are happening, y'all. i'm wearing pants indoors!

trying to get myself to read more again!

over all it's going well!

i'm trying out joplin!

i haven't at all been inclined to write, be it here, or in my journal, or emailing friends. things are kind of both happening and not. i have many ideas but only working in little aborted bursts. some snapshot updates: tried "the grail method" for journal…

the more i try to use up my inks (even just the samples, my god), the more i'm convinced i can only treat Black as somehow Real Writing. it definitely helps if a color is dark and the only one in use (vs alternating with a contrasting color - maybe if they

these are my favorite "what the fuck is going on??"

life just some general updates on all fronts. i've been dealing with quite a bit of pain and ensuing bad sleep the last week, it had me all emotionally out of sorts, too. i'm reading a book that turned out to be sad as hell, too, in some unfortunately rea…

tarot of the cat people and the ancient italian (soprafino) took these out a week early as well. they don't really "go together" - the italian is more of an end of summer deck while the cat people are fully autumn, so they match the vibes of the month des…

some observations: i still need to be Vigilant, i find myself reaching for backgammon outside the one designated period having the no/low-internet account results in the laptop staying "harmlessly" open all day and it makes me /feel/ online, somehow chain…

as mentioned in a previous post, i rarely do tarot readings for myself anymore. something to do with being ok with what is/what is to come?

margarete petersen and the othrysian tarot i brought these out a week early so this is actually a two-weeks-in report. margarete petersen... it's like a cross between the ritual tarot and the thoth?

trying to get myself to read more again!

changed up my methodology this week, as to not track things all day. i decided on an hour of internet in the morning and evening, backgammon during my coffe time, and a no-internet profile on the laptop at all other times. well, low-internet. no videos or…

hey everybody, autumn is here!

how does it feel, doing less time-wasting on the computer?

interesting that it’s the third card I’ve done and it’s all been kind of difficult cards.

i thought maybe to start i could have one day a week of no tracking, just do whatever?

I see this guy a lot recently.

by the way, this is the first time I’m seeing this card to mean these people without any means are seeking sanctuary.

tarot project ideas: write up a solo playthrough of tarot-telling for two pathworking the entirety of the thoth deck make another tarot deck from this nature book i found (what could i supplement with if it's not enough?)

what kind of tracker would make sense?

(everything below applies specifically to my laptop which is my main way of using the internet. aside from the backgammon which is on the ipad. i have no problem with my phone as i Hate using the internet on the phone, no problem). what specifically do i…

02/08/26 this is still going and serving me well!

ideas for things i'd like to try: making a frame loom and weaving on it (but what?)

new arcana it has its own separate post in the tarot section i'm not sure i'm going to finish it?

i shall fill out each entry later, just placing a placeholder post for now!
