My old body that you buried with the mud and the timber

[sovay]

And today my physical health went through the floor and my mood with it, but I hadn't known that boglands were permeating pop culture to the point of salt marsh gastronomy, biofictional art, and peat-distressed fashion. What a great time it would be for a proper home release of Michael Almereyda's The Eternal (1998). Have some further Rabbitology.

Have you heard of The Bog Wife novel? Did you see Rachel's review of it?

Clothes that were buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters!

I have read it because swan_tower sent me a copy! I really enjoyed it. I haven't read Anna North's Bog Queen (2025) despite the obvious inheritance from Seamus Heaney because I gathered from a couple of reviews that its Iron Age had a bad case of modern habits of mind, which was disappointing because one of its narrators is supposed to be moss.

I really like how contemporary all the pieces are in materials and design, but once you see a tannin-stained, partly acid-eaten crocheted minidress, it's like, eh, looks like the Huldremose Woman to me.

From their press page, I found Piero D'Angelo who makes clothes from lichen and slime mold. I suspect I would be allergic to his entire collection, but visually I really approve.

That is definitely a trend made to please you, it's true! XD

So sorry about the health crash. I hope it is a passing one, but in any case: *hugs*

"Magnaminity" is awesome.

Very sorry about your health. May bog culture lift you up, not drag you down.
