So I was joking a couple years ago when I suggested a Jarlaxle fashion zine but I think there's enough people out there drawing him with gold earrings and fancy crop tops now that this could be a possibility so. Who's going to commit and put it together. I'll be there I'll draw for you you'll have my sword.

This thought kept occuring to me but I finally realized that Theo reminds me a bit of Stuart Ullman from The Shining (the novel version)

Stuart Ullman (novel version) is not a character one would usually think to make a reference towards and I love you for that. I completely see your vision from this first paragraph.

This too. Theo IS a bit of a bastard. Thank god he's a broke hermit NEET so he doesn't have any employees who have to deal with him.

really enjoying house of leaves so far. i keep having to force myself to stop reading after a few chapters so i can savor it for longer.

Hi! I follow you mainly for your stuff in roman history (which is so so good thank you for your service) but everything about the sforzas seems really interesting. I, however, know very little about the sforzas (or the Italian Renaissance as a whole....). Do you have any book recommendations for where to start? Thanks in advance!

oh man, let's see..... for Milan, maybe (in no particular order):

A Companion to Late Medieval and Early Modern Milan, ed. Andrea Gamberini

Milan Undone: Contested Sovereignties in the Italian Wars, J. Gagné

A History of Milan Under the Sforza C.M. Ady

A Renaissance Court: Milan under Galeazzo Maria Sforza, G. Lubkin

Milan and Lombardy in the Renaissance: Essays in Cultural History

Art and Authority in Renaissance Milan, E. Welch

Ippolita Maria Sforza: The Renaissance Princess Who Linked Milan and Naples, J. M. Wood

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer | Chapter 6, "Learning the Grammar of Animacy",

Too late Icarus realized his wings were melting. He had flown too close to the Sun. With every desperate swoop of his arms, more feathers fell and soon his arms were almost bare. Down and down and down went Icarus… ‘Father!’ he shouted before falling with a heavy splash into the sea. His few remaining feathers floated on the surface of the water as he sank. Daedalus could only watch helplessly and his heart felt as heavy as a stone as he flew onwards, leaving his son behind

As we head into this next time period, propaganda will be at an all-time high. Reading up on past tactics will help you recognize what the new regime will also do.

Key Points include:

-Racial science, ableism, and eugenics

-Targeting specific groups as the source of the degeneracy (similar to contemporary targeting of the LGBTQIA+ community or current Xenophobia against the Asian/SEA citizens--I'm pretty sure the conservatives are gonna target anime and manga soon with its massive prevalence in current youth culture)

-Showing the "good" pieces next to the "bad" pieces -- we already have some alt-right memes like this but keep an eye out for fashion, art, literature, etc. Any form of creative expression that the powers deem "moral rot" etc.
