Photo of 5 dog figurines in profile facing to the left in a staggered line. The closest one is reddish, the three in the middle are beige, and the furthest is dark grey. Each one has a cuneiform inscription on their side.

For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources.

On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.

dan rigiššu “loud is his bark”

munaššiku gārîšu “biter of his foe”

mušēṣi lemnūti “expeller of evil”

The term never felt right to me either. Sounds like a convenient way of not taking responsibility for your decisions.
"the data forced me to do it."

Was hoping this place would be better than X and FB, but peopke just keep reposting the same riled up links about right wing political figures and oligarchs.

How about we make Bluesky a place of creative work, art and beauty?

Black hole sun won't you come and wash away the rain.

A 1000+ player Cyberpunk city for 5 days

I have previously run larps in New Orleans, Los Angeles, San Jose, Washington DC, Boston and New York. So much fun and so many great players. I might come back. But travelling is hard these days with a 2-year-old.

Absolutely. Children's larp is an old passion of mine and so much fun. Especially with like 2-400 kids at the same time.

Difficult question. I often bring calorie-dense snacks like beef jerky or protein bars no matter the larp, but that is not really props.

For years my go-to "I need to focus and crunch" album has been Slayer's Seasons in the Abyss. It is a behemoth of an album that attacks you so hard you cannot do anything but submit.

Lately, I have listened a lot to Tool's Fear Inoculum. Especially the track Pneuma can keep me focused.

High hopes low expectations. Please ask me anything about larp and life. ❤️
