Silverborn has been delayed again...
But only a month this time! According to Hachette, it will now be released on in Australia on September 25th, 2024. I don't know yet if the release dates for the US and UK will change as well, but I will keep an eye out for any updates.

today, August 20, I finally received a letter in the mail, which was dated August 12, that my health insurance "is ending" [present tense, yes] on August 1.
such letter also advises me that if I want to continue my health coverage, one of my options is COBRA, which I should expect information about from my employer in the mail (I will give you one guess if I have received such information by now, 20 days after I was laid off)
this is definitely a functional and customer-friendly system! it's definitely very normal that it took them 12 days to send a paper letter to confirm this and they could not send an email about it instantly or at least within like, 5 business days???

Online shopping is so fun because I will completely forget ordering stuff seconds after it happens.
For instance, I have a mystery YooTooz package in my hand rn? I’m assuming it’s a character I like but I guess we’ll see!

There are two tarot decks that I have no conscious memory of purchasing but here they are: The Acacia Tarot and the Sola Busca.
The Kickstarter for the Acacia Tarot was joined in a feverish blackout several years ago. I had seen the offer, passed on the cards, went to click on something else but woke up in bed instead. I didn't realize I had joined the Kickstarter until the next day when I received the email announcing the successful funding of the project.
That deck kicked off no few shenanigans when it arrived and eventually became an inspiration for a book.
When the Sola Busca had become available as a limited edition, I had been through some shit and had sworn off "unnecessary purchases". I knew I didn't have the budget nor the space for wild speculation, and I was determined not to let myself get caught up in FOMO. Not to mention, the whole "The Game of Saturn" business was also far outside of my reading and understanding. The last thing I needed was a tarot deck that came with other people's sandbags.
I closed the tab and went to do something else but suddenly I was smelling burning metal and then... Well... Let's just say there was a visitation and leave it at that.
By the time I bothered to check my email later in the day, the order was already set in stone and cancelling wasn't an option. When it arrived, I read the accompanying book cover to cover and poked at the slates cards now and then, but I could never do anything more than look at the images and feel the inside of my scalp turn in uncomfortable ways.
I've low-key been wanting to sell or pass the deck along for some time because I felt really bad about having something (initially) limited in nature but doing nothing with it. But then I remember how it got to me in the first place. Even after last year's challenge to do something with the Sola Busca and the TrueBlack Tarot, I was able to work the TBT into regular rotation at Noxporium, but the Sola Busca defies being used as a mere divination deck.
According to Peter Mark Adam's "The Game of Saturn", the solstices have no small importance to the designer of the Sola Busca. I'm not surprised in the least that even in early May, I was getting poked to use the Sola Busca for something solstice related. The poking just got harder and when @graveyarddirt announced Solstice Squad 2023, the poking became an unbearable itch.
This post isn't an update to Solstice Squad 2023 - Summer.
More of an explanation why when I do post about the matter, why (1) it's not going to make sense and (2) it's going to sound made the fuck up. Granted, I know that 99.9% of what we wooish folk write already falls into both categories, but everything has a limit.
