It's all fun and games until you get to the "unindentified idol figurine" that doesn't look like a human or any animal you know and after you fail to correctly place it, it shows the origin is in the middle of the ocean.

See, a proper book, (little book, but a proper one) with an ISBN number and everything. Cover reveal and ordering details coming soon-ish. And yes, there is an-anti piracy, anti LLM curse embedded in the text. It is Hookland – you'd expect nothing less.

At a certain point in your life you’re going to get into HEMA stuff. You’re going to buy a waster, which is a weighted wooden sword, to practice. What I am telling you, from twenty years’ experience, is that you cannot - you cannot - play with it inside of your house

You ever feel like God phoned it in on some of these
The blunthead slug snake isn't like other snakes. This nocturnal reptile, which primarily feeds on slugs and snails, eats using a technique called mandibular sawing. To slice off the indigestible parts of prey, this species slides its jaws back and forth like a saw!

Something about ghosts naturally but I’m also using the word “intertextuality” a lot so that seems important too

Everyone’s hometown has that one guy who doesn’t technically exist
My birth town has a "guy" who's an optical illusion. Like, there seems to be someone but on close inspection it's a trick of the light. It's a very convincing illusion you can be halfway a conversation with him before realizing you're talking to an odd optical effect

Very excited to draw from this book in the creation of something I’ll call “Weird Catholicism” and which will ultimately get me excommunicated by both the Vatican and, somehow, Canterbury
