I apologize in advance but the more scary it becomes to look for work off the books the more I have to plug my Patreon :/

$2 a month gets you lots of text, $5 gets you texts and audio. It’s a pretty good deal imo!

All design that holds,
all form that persists,
arises from field-conditioned feedback,
not from projection.

closeup of a twig of wild plum blossoms. They are white, have five petals each, a little pink accent towards the middle and yellow dots at the ends of their stigmas and stamens. The photo was taken on an overcast day, and the white of the petals merges with the white of the sky showing through in the out of focus background

a similar view as the last image, but zoomed out a bit more, showing more of the blossoms at once, and increasing the slightly disorienting effect of how the foreground and background merge

Just going by the plot summary it seems very optimistic though regarding the development & amount of resistance in the general population as well as in the army, compared to what I remember from the later actual history of fascist governments :'|
