- *New page!* [/bestof/2025 The /Satyrs’ Forest/ Horny Awards] have outgrown the breeches of /The Garden/, and have been posted on their own separate page. Featuring mind-dazzling /three-dee/ effects!!!
- New posts on /The Garden/:
- Link roundups number [/garden/2025/link-roundup-lvi fifty-six], [/garden/2025/link-roundup-lvii fifty-seven], [/garden/2026/link-roundup-lviii fifty-eight], and [/garden/2026/link-roundup-lix fifty-nine]
- [/garden/2025/41-things Forty-one things i did in the Netherlands]
- [/garden/2025/xainthe Training an ::AI:: on my own writing so the computers can finally replace me]
- [/garden/2026/alnmouth A trip to Alnmouth] (this one’s my favourite)
- Added nine new sites to [/linkroll the linkroll], bringing us up to *130*!
- In the [/words compendium of curious words]: /immane/, /kvetch/, /longævous/, /maladroit/, and /urheimat/ make their debut.
- [/crying Cried] to Dennis Wilson’s “Thoughts of You” and Nine Inch Nails’ “The Downward Spiral”.
- A few new [/discord Discord funny moments] from late 2025, preserved in amber for all to see.
- [/misrule Lords of Misrule 2025] came and went.
- I finally got around to giving the “boring” meta pages like the [/licence public-domain declaration], the [/comments explainer for comments], and (yes) [/new the changelog] their own styles, rather than piggy-backing on a years-old version of the main page’s theme. Huzzah!

p: i Transcribed from the #[a(href="/misrule") main Lords of Misrule page].
p.dropcap Io Saturnalia, friends, and welcome to the fifth annual edition of #[b #[i The Satyrs’ Forest] Lords of Misrule!] First, i would like to apologise to my fellow #[a(href="https://lsj.gr/wiki/%CE%B8%CE%B9%CE%B1%CF%83%CF%8E%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82" lang="grc") θιασῶται] for the delay — i was on private satyr business in Batavia, and you know what they’re like in those kabouter-coffeeshops.
p Still, perhaps the extra wait was for the best. As i write this in late November, there is real, honest-to-#[span.theonym Bacchus] #[em snow] falling right outside my window, the sort of thing i had figured climate change would forever banish to mid-January doldrums. A perfect day for it.
p For all of the new fauns among us who are unaware of our peculiar tradition, here’s how it works: in the spirit of #[span.theonym Saturnalia], from December the 17#[sup th] to the 23#[sup rd], i’m putting #[em you] in charge of #[i The Satyrs’ Forest]. If you write or put together anything, absolutely anything, and submit it to #[strong misrule@satyrs.eu] by the #[b 15#[sup th] of December, 2025], i’ll put it up on the site, etched in stone for all to see. Temporary defacements of pages are also quite welcome, though they will, of course, be taken down on the 24#[sup th].
p As ever, i kindly ask that you refrain from political polemics and anything that would get these woods in trouble with the British law. Other than that, anything goes: An avant-garde jazz record about the history of duvets. A rant about how frogs just ain’t what they used to be. Whatever you, my lords of misrule, want.
p My inbox is open for business, so as always: have fun, be merry, and don’t be afraid to get weird with it!

p.has-drop-cap It’s that time of year again, isn’t it? When the days shrink and night begins to rule. A time for staying wrapped up inside with a cup of hot chocolate for some.

p I kindly ask the same things of you as years past: no political polemics, and nothing that would get me in legal trouble, please. Other than that, anything goes. A video essay on the occult implications of #[i Gremlins 2]. A rant about how birch trees used to be better back in the old days before Big Nature made them cringe. Whatever you, my lords of misrule, want.
p Submissions are open from now until the 15#[sup th] of December, 2024. Have fun, be merry, and don’t be afraid to get weird with it!

It’s been a long year. That’s the traditional thing to say, but honestly, it’s been quite a /short/ year for me, and autumn has crept up without me even noticing. That can only mean one thing…
/Io {.theonym Saturnalia}!/
It’s time, once again, for our third annual [/misrule *Satyrs’ Forest Lords of Misrule*], where in the spirit of the season, i put //you// (yes, you) in charge of the site.
If you write or put togeher something — absolutely anything\* — and email it to **misrule@satyrs.eu**, come {.theonym Saturnalia} (December 17 to 23, for those who aren’t up to date on their Roman calendar) i’ll put it up on the site, on the blog and on its own dedicated permanent subpage, etched in stone for all to see.
As in years past, i ask only that you refrain from political polemics and anything that would get this noble forest in legal trouble. Other than that, the sky is the limit. A video essay on the occult implications of /Gremlins 2/? A rant about that new skyscraper that blots out the view of your favourite billboard? Anything goes. Whatever you — my lords of misrule — want.
You can submit your entries from today until the 16^th of December, 2023. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to get weird with it!

I somehow neglected to inform the Log of Changes™ of perhaps the most significant change to the site in quite some time — let’s fix that. This site is now, after a prolonged hiatus, *self-hosted* on my very own computer-matic 9000! So much has changed that i don’t think i could even remember enough to list it all, but here’s the biggest additions:
- *New page!* [/latbs /Looking at the Big Sky/], a home for a sci-fi paracosm that’s been in my head for ages.
- *New page!* [/films My favourite films].
- A similar subpage for [/100 “The Internet’s 100 Favourite Albums”], documenting what else but [/100/films the internet’s 100 favourite films].
- Split [/loanwords “One loan word per language”] off to its own page.
- Added some new stuff to the [/linkroll linkroll] and [/words compendium of words].
- A whole bunch of stuff on /The Garden/ — check out [/garden/2023/sledgehammer the Sledgehammer projection] and [/garden/2023/bowes a dispatch from Barnard Castle].

p
| The cycle of a year is a wonderful thing. Trees grow and wilt, rivers ebb and flow, and every winter,
span.theonym Gæa
| blankets Herself in a snowy coat. All across Europe, people gather together, huddling around, exchanging gifts. Most would call it Christmas.
p
| For us? Well…
em
| Io
span.theonym Saturnalia
| !
p
| It’s time for the second annual
strong Satyrs’ Forest Lords of Misrule
| ! In the spirit of the topsy-turvy season, i’m putting
em you
| in charge of the site.
p
| If you write or put together something — absolutely anything — and email it to
strong
a(href="mailto:misrule@satyrs.eu") misrule@satyrs.eu
| , come
span.theonym Saturnalia
| (that’s December 17 to 23, for those who aren’t up to date with their ancient festivals) i’ll put it up on the site, both on the blog and on its own dedicated, permanent subpage, etched in stone for all to see.
p
| Like last year, i would ask that you refrain from political polemics or anything that would get this noble forest in legal trouble. Apart from that, anything goes. Your gran’s chocolate cake recipe? An impassioned defence of
em Freddy Got Fingered
| as an ironic masterpiece? Hell, i’ll even let you vandalise one of the permanent pages for a bit if you ask me to. Whatever you — my lords of misrule — want.
p You can submit your entries from today until the 16th of December, 2021. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to get weird with it!

a(href="/continents") There are two continents

a(href="/log") yelled into the void

blockquote

a(href="https://www.goatcounter.com/") GoatCounter

code pisswitch.js
