This is the Moth Place

Hello, and welcome once again to my beautiful blog. You may notice something different today - yes, a new banner, a new title, and a new URL. I've been thinking for a while about cultivating a slightly more appropriate and perhaps more spooky atmosphere here, and so, here we are: MOTH PLACE.

A metamorphosis.

My new header banner takes its moth from a 1705 set of illustrations by Maria Sibylla Merian, via the Biodiversity Heritage Library at the Smithsonian, and the Public Domain Image Archive. Immediately I feel a collage-y, and slightly mysterious aesthetic is evoked. It's better this way. We are entering a new world.

Some moths or butterflies and a cantipede atop a big, round fruit.
These bugs are just like me.

Congratulations, for you have arrived at the sort of place where moths may lurk. Where flickering lights glow, and where nights stretch on forever. Gather around the morsels of light and clutter. Stretch out a feeler. Raise a wing.

This is a Moth Place now. The only one.

  5. I asked on Redditt how to show the posts of the people I follow on my sidebar because it wasn't working. To think that you'll answer my question in one of yours haha. But I got help on Reddit too. That's how I noticed your new url, I was editing it. Either way, thank you. I didn't find anything about this when I searched it.

    I'm excited to see how spooky this blog will be!
