The book I didn’t know I needed.
Heer and Ranjha, Heer shown as a woman in a turquoise dress with a pack on her head, Ranjha as a man with his hands clasped, animals behind them in their secret meeting.
Heer and Ranjha are famed Punjabi lovers, mad about one another but separated by her family's disdain for the unlanded flute player. Her jealous uncle poisons Heer's food, and in grief at failing to save her, Ranjha eats it too, choosing death over separation. #LegendaryWednesday
An unknown artist's bean-nighe, a dark-haired woman in green standing in a ford washing blood from a shirt, which stains her own dress; her eyes look black with a golden ring for a pupil.
Bean-nighe are harbingers of death, fey who appear as washer women cleaning blood from clothes and armor. When the viewer looks more closely, they realize the clothes being washed are their own: it is an omen of their upcoming demise. #WyrdWednesday

Thank you 🙏🏻

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays.
Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons.
@nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her:

Thank goodness the internet isn't overly brittle and reliant on a handful of services.
One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.
