Jes Wolfe!

heh, oops

no seriously
is it wetware? that doesn’t sound right

I don’t think slop is fully liquid

Then vaporware is software that's turning into a gas?

software is just hardware that starting to melt

at that point you want to maximize doors

a sufficiently fast bus system will be bottlenecked on humans embarking and alighting

this actually supersedes my previous one

faster cars don’t mean fewer traffic jams

sounds like someone didn’t visit the interior of the earth, rectify, or find the hidden stone

can you dig

like this

I’m experimenting with a concept that’s like the opposite of a tarot spread. I guess I’m calling it a “tableau”. non-random. it’s like. put your cards like this and see how it feels!

I said "recreational Haskell" at work and someone giggled like I was making a drug reference

that said, whenever I figure out how to do a test printing, I’d be happy to send you one.

yes, absolutely. I intend to both publish and open-source it. I’m actually churning through the cards quickly now, but I want to write down _why_ I made the choices I made, which means a pretty hefty companion book, and I’ll probably find card errors while working through it.

I had to simplify

I guess my rationalization is that I am not _really_ trying to talk about the moon here, I am trying to talk about magical systems of 7, 14, 16 or 32 elements

it helps distract from the fact that I do not feel like drawing dozens of little pictures

oh interesting, because of my Chaldean trip I put Via and Populus on either side of full

the 24 solar terms, being 15° each, bridges the two systems

the others moons fell out naturally once i had:
1. court cards mapped to element-of-element via Golden Dawn
2. element-of-element mapped to geomantic figures via @polyphanes.bsky.social ‘s blog
3. geomantic figures mapped to planets and directions via tradition
4. planets in Chaldean order

I’m glad you asked! the 12 Tidal Gua have a traditional mapping to the ecliptic, which is offset exactly half a sign from the zodiac (they’re _centered_ on the solstices, instead of _starting_ on a solstice)
part of my goal is to show how systems fail to tidily fit together

I had a huge fucking crisis about which of the 16 moon phases were gonna go on which end of the dragon. I made a judgement call. (pls disagree)
