Hey, hi! for various reasons–discomfort w/Eugen as an admin, desire to actually play in the wilds of the federated space I'm nominally part of, wanting to try those sweet glitch-branch features, &c–after having been on mastosoc since November '16 I've decided to try out moving instances! I don't know if this will be my forever home, (there are many excellent instances I may end up taking a look at) but for now I'll be hanging out my shingle @paralithode & seeing how it goes! please come say hi💖

Thank you so much @rheall for this lovely postcard! I'd love to keep the chain of good vibes going, so for those wanting something fun in the mail I'll send a postcard to the first three folks to reply to this post (or you can nominate a recipient!) You can choose any from this selection:

Goodnight friends! A day of winds & rushing, everchanging skies. It was almost uncanny watching through the window, seeing a featureless overcast sky become bright blue, all the leaves gaining stained glass radiance before returning to grey within a few minutes. It was like the way days whip by in timelapse photography.

An exhausted low-energy day for me–bad sleep & intermittent rain conspiring—so even w/o the weather it felt like I was in strange slow motion.

May we find healing truths today!

#reintroductions are in the air, & I'm nothing if not extremely pliable! I'm James, @paralithode but in a smaller community w/a nicer feel! I'm an illustrator, fantasist & broad-spectrum nerd.

I've lived w/ #CFSME since I was 14–a chronic illness that affects cognition & means I'm always exhausted+in pain. Usually not v. active (except for boosting a lot of visual art & some nice social justice threads), tho every day I say goodnight before I got to bed.

My primary partner+carer is @Damage 💕

https://spideronasnail.co.uk updated & we're really excited by our curent print selection. There's gorgeous brand new animals, we've restocked some favourites & found some older work that hasn't been seen much before. The colours came out super vivid & true on our mini prints, which are really pleasing oversized-postcard dimensions.

@Damage also has some beautiful originals for sale+my free 2nd design riso print deal is still running! Check it out! https://www.spideronasnail.co.uk/all-work

Goodnight friends! Sun broke apart & through a sulky grey morning bit by bit, until by the evening cement was hot under bare feet.

A lot of my energy today was taken up w/a classic housework errand—emptying all the bins, taking all the rubbish+recycling to the end of the road for pick-up. I probably mention this whenever I do it—it's such an unutterable pleasure+privilege to have days when I''m able to take part in maintaining our household.

May we find joy & love in serving each other today!

Goodnight friends! Another day of wind slowly winding down from brightness & motion to grey, humid stillness. The air smells like stone again, & there were prickly shocks of potential rain on the skin whenever I was outside.

As my mind swims into clarity I feel something like I imagine people wearing glasses for the first time feel; almost visceral feeling of understanding, everything gains sharp, crystal edges.

May we greet each other w/solidarity & humility today, to lift us all up together!

Thank you kind people for following me—I'd just like to bring to your attention that this account is currently in retirement, please come join me over at @paralithode for new posts 🦀💕

Goodnight friends! While the clouds aren't in full retreat, they were already much thinned & paled by morning. By midday the streets were starting to simmer gently again. We set off into town for another(!) zine event—everyone in the city seems a little heat-dazed.

The experience of being in fellowship w/folks engaged in & passionate about making art & generating cultural experiences felt overwhelming & encouraging all over again.

May we find & share inspiration & joy in our communities today!
