J. Alan Veerkamp's 2020 "Innocence & Carnality" is a masterfully told #steampunk #MMromance suspense story. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nathan has lived with the physical and mental shackles imposed on him by his family for five years since his sexual orientation was announced to the court. He should be happy that the arranged marriage to a wealthy foreign businessman will finally get him out from under his father's thumb. But Nathan has never met his future husband, and the speed with which the marriage is to take place makes him uneasy. At first, Lord Rother seems nice enough, if a little too keen. He definitely gives Nathan a taste of the sexual pleasure he has been denied for the last five years. However, he soon discovers the true nature of Rother's business and begins to see the man's dangerously possessive side. It seems that Nathan has gone from one gilded cage to another.

How many different cathodes would one need to make a Nixie tube capable of displaying all of the Stargate glyphs?

En ce moment on ne me voit pas beaucoup par ici, car je passe mon temps dans mon refuge, là où je peux créer sans surproduire : la cuisine 😋

Mais je suis toujours présente ! Et ce matin, je me suis parée de ma tenue inspiration #solarpunk, car j'avais besoin d'énergie et de douceur pour commencer cette semaine de boulot ! ✨️
Ça me rappelle pourquoi j'aime tant faire des créations alternatives : pour ajouter une touche de magie et de poésie dans notre quotidien 🥰

Je peux encore faire 1 exemplaire de cette jupe dans différents coloris de lin :

Et évidemment... elle a des poches ! 😏

Would you still ~~write~~draw if you had to use a typewriter or pen and paper?

Yes, thanks to the iPad, I've made a lot of progress, so I can imagine making a comic in the traditional way. It would be even slower, though

Scott reviews "The Archimedean Heart" by BJ Sikes, The Roboticist of Versailles Book 1:

"Not your typical steampunk book, more of a historical social fantasy, with a very important steampunk element... The Archimedean Heart draws you in, weaving a spell that will entrance you, and after the shocking ending, will leave you dying to know what happens next. Highly recommended."
