I also had to explain what Howl's castle looked like so that probably didn't help as the teacher also had no reference for baba yaga??

2) my current design strategy is "what if add blobs to minimalist template" and it's a little too Memphis probably but I'm having fun

website itself is very much Under Construction but for those who might be so inclined it's https://unraveling.systems

yikes yikes yikes I just sent my official "here's the steps to join my little Ghost site-in-progress" message to my Patreon patrons, time to lose a lot of income!!

In case anyone needs it I've updated my Mercury Retrograde google calendar to reflect 2023 dates https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=dGdkNXJsbDMzcmJ2aW03a2UybDlhMjZwbDRAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ
