Time Capsule #46: What thought gives you peace to think about?

Come share your perspectives in the time capsule!

Jun 30, 2024

Welcome to my Time Capsule project, where I save and reshare old pieces of writing, art and other creations. The purpose behind this project is so that created pieces don’t live and die by the algorithm, without forcing creators to be on the hamster wheel of creation. Want to join? Drop your item into the time capsule here to be displayed in the newsletter!

CRAFT TALK

When the Art is Just For Us

Oh my god I’m going on book tour! What is fun about this tour is that some of these events will be chit-chats and some will be panels and some will be craft talks and some will be write-alongs and all of them are going to be great because it will be all of us together hanging out and talking about writing and creativity. I’m really looking forward to it…

Mashed Potatoes for 20 (and other stuff)

Okay, one tiny meta-comment before I get to it here, and that’s that Substack is very overexciting to me right now, but I’m so grateful you’re here, and I’m sorry in advance that I have a weird kind of attention deficit that makes me be like: DON’T USE FRESH SAGE IN THE STUFFING! and also DO USE VAGINAL ESTROGEN! I will get sorted, I swear. Also, to the people who are actually *paying* for this content? I am truly speechless. Thank you so much…

Horsestack

It’s pretty common knowledge that people have a hard time drawing horses. Supposedly Leonardo dissected a few to figure out how they work. Less commonly known is that horses also have a hard time drawing horses. This may be due to their unique and unexpected proportions. But more likely it is because it is much harder to hold a paintbrush with hooves…

The Touch

The first thing we feel after our inaugural breath, out there in the open, is the touch of those who have made us. It is our first experience of nurture, one which we keep in reserve and crave during whatever distance is our duration. Our initiation to inquisitive compulsions should serve us well.

The Swirling Sands of Time and Space

There is a strange planet with shifting sand. The sands are dangerous to every woman or man. The shifting sands are evil, special, and rare. Would you step on it, would you dare? The sand moves in strange patterns in every place. It is not silver, green, brown, yellow, or gold…
