there was a post going around here saying that a potato in its skin with butter was the single most nutritious thing you could eat and my little polska brain didn’t question it for... well, for a while. anyways gotta go eat a nutritious meal :)

supplement with some iron from a willing lover’s vein and you should be quite alright for a century or two.

or so I’ve been told, of course.

ooohhh tell me more abt the message of special dreams? and why you chose to share that message? and why you chose to deliver it the way you did!!!

okay so this story is basically all about the concept of existence and what makes humans, well, human! i can’t find a pdf of Delusion for a Dragon Slayer by Harlan Ellison (where the title “special dreams in which you exist” comes from), but essentially the story revolved around a man who was unworthy of his own idea of heaven because he failed to live up to his own standards of “goodness”. when i started writing this i had just finished the second season of altered carbon (L, i know) and was frustrated with how they failed to address many glaring issues of race while also glossing over what it means to exist in a world where death is almost inconsequential, or a footnote in someones history. really the whole message of special dreams is: is mercedes, worthy of her idea of heaven when she knows she was a killer? furthermore, is she responsible for her future self? would she have become the same person a second time? can her half-life be considered true existence?

now i just need to finish it lol

you have such interesting info on your blog! if you don’t mind my asking, could you recommend a source for images of Ottoman fashion through the ages?

Thanks a lot! Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a comprehensive study on Ottoman fashion so far. Someone should definitely make it because there’s so much to say (there were laws on clothing, for example. Non-muslims could not wear certain colours or wear particularly expensive fabrics) but I also understand that it’s quite difficult because high-ranking women were closed in the harem.
