<p>
It’s been a long year. That’s the traditional thing to say, but honestly, it’s been quite a
<i>short</i> year for me, and autumn has crept up without me even noticing. That can only mean one
thing…
</p>
<p>
<i>Io <span class="theonym">Saturnalia</span>!</i>
</p>
<p>
It’s time, once again, for our third annual <a href="https://satyrs.eu/misrule"><b>Satyrs’ Forest Lords of Misrule</b></a>, where in the spirit of the season, i put <em>you</em> (yes, you) in charge of the site.
</p>
<p>
If you write or put togeher something — absolutely anything* — and email it to
<strong>misrule@satyrs.eu</strong>, come <span class="theonym">Saturnalia</span> (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.
</p>
<p>
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 <i>Gremlins 2</i>? A rant about that new skyscraper that blots out the view of your
favourite billboard? Anything goes. Whatever you — my lords of misrule — want.
</p>
<p>
You can submit your entries from today until the 16<sup>th</sup> 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, <b>self-hosted</b> 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:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>New page!</b> <a href="https://satyrs.eu/latbs"><i>Looking at the Big Sky</i></a>, a home for a sci-fi paracosm that’s been in my head for ages.
</li>
<li><b>New page!</b> <a href="https://satyrs.eu/films">My favourite films</a>.</li>
<li>
A similar subpage for <a href="https://satyrs.eu/100">“The Internet’s 100 Favourite Albums”</a>, documenting what
else but <a href="https://satyrs.eu/100/films">the internet’s 100 favourite films</a>.
</li>
<li>Split <a href="https://satyrs.eu/loanwords">“One loan word per language”</a> off to its own page.</li>
<li>
Added some new stuff to the <a href="https://satyrs.eu/linkroll">linkroll</a> and
<a href="https://satyrs.eu/words">compendium of words</a>.
</li>
<li>
A whole bunch of stuff on <i>The Garden</i> — check out
<a href="https://satyrs.eu/garden/2023/sledgehammer">the Sledgehammer projection</a> and
<a href="https://satyrs.eu/garden/2023/bowes">a dispatch from Barnard Castle</a>.

Whooh! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Apologies for the wait — it was one of those things where i kept
putting it off until i finished this, and that, and this other thing and… you get the idea.

<strong>New page!</strong> I’m going to try and put more of the endless worldbuilding stuff that
exists entirely within my brain on the site, and the first to make the jump is the (currently quite
rudimentary) tales of the <a href="https://satyrs.eu/phanes">Cult of Phanes</a>, a time-travelling group of hippy
satyrs.
<ul>
<li>
This all stemmed from <a href="https://satyrs.eu/phanes/rites">“The Saturnine Rites”</a>, a brief… thing that
i bashed out in the middle of the night out of delirium and originally put on the blog.

<p>
The cycle of a year is a wonderful thing. Trees grow and wilt, rivers ebb and flow, and every winter,
<span class="theonym">Gæa</span> blankets Herself in a snowy coat. All across Europe, people gather
together, huddling around, exchanging gifts. Most would call it Christmas.
</p>
<p>
For us? Well… <em>Io <span class="theonym">Saturnalia</span>!</em>
</p>
<p>
It’s time for the second annual <strong>Satyrs’ Forest Lords of Misrule</strong>! In the spirit of the
topsy-turvy season, i’m putting <em>you</em> in charge of the site.
</p>
<p>
If you write or put together something — absolutely anything — and email it to
<strong><a href="mailto:misrule@satyrs.eu">misrule@satyrs.eu</a></strong>, come <span class="theonym">Saturnalia</span> (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>
<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</em> 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>
<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!

</li>
<li>
New <a href="https://satyrs.eu/dreams">dream</a>, as you do. Not sure why i’d ever take a trip to Malawi, but my
oneiroself seemed to quite enjoy it.
</li>
<li>
I’m also slowly working on a revitalised version of the music page — same general æsthetic, but as
for the layout — well, have you ever seen a
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Gage_%28device%29#/media/File:Nokia-NGage-LL.jpg">Nokia N-Gage</a>?

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? As such, i can’t promise this is a <em>complete</em> list of updates, but
it should be of use regardless:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Five new sites have been added to <a href="https://satyrs.eu/linkroll">the linkroll</a>, bringing the total up to 85.
</li>
<li>
A whole bunch of new <a href="https://satyrs.eu/wikipedia">Wikipedia pages of note</a>, including but not limited to
fragile paintings, pickle-selling white sultans, baby Jesus theft, and a big pile of holy shit.
</li>
<li>Slowly but surely adding new stuff to <a href="https://satyrs.eu/basa">Basa de Dunya</a>, now on its own page.</li>
<li>

Ah, crumbs — i accidentally set the date a year early on the last post, so most of you probably
missed the fact that i now have a <strong>new domain name</strong> at
<a href="https://satyrs.eu">satyrs.eu</a>. Shan’t be happening again. In other news…
</li>
<li>
I rescued a post about <a href="https://satyrs.eu/christmas">our Christmas tradition</a> from the ashes of the

everyone.

I’ve saved the best for last — we now have <strong>comments on the main site!</strong> Yes, really —
just have a look <a href="https://satyrs.eu/new#2022-04-19">at this very post</a>. I’ll be gradually adding them
across more pages, so keep an eye out!

<strong>Do not adjust your television set!</strong> I bought a .eu domain on a whim, and i figured i
might as well take it for a spin. The way i see it, either it’s only four quid down the drain and i end
up going back to the old domain, or i keep it and wipe any trace that anyone by my name was ever
involved in the making of this site. <code>;)</code>
</p>
<p>Anyway, erm, here’s the usual change roundup:</p>
<ul>
<li>
I am — slowly — working on transcribing the original Greek of
<a href="https://satyrs.eu/codex/sallust-grc">Sallustius’ “On the Gods and the World”</a>. The copy i’m using is a
little fuzzy, and i don’t speak Ancient Greek. This is only going to go so well…
</li>
<li>
Some funky new <a href="https://satyrs.eu/wikipedia">Wikipedia pages of interest</a>: a petty interstate fight, some
really old sourdough, Hitler’s bollocks, and a man who turned himself into a cat.
</li>
<li>
New guff on the Garden:
<ul>
<li>
<a href="https://satyrs.eu/garden/2022/04/1149"><i>Morbius</i> was an awful film.</a>

</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Lightly fiddled about with the <a href="https://satyrs.eu/about">about page</a>, as one does.</li>
<li>
Added “This Must Be the Place” to the <a href="https://satyrs.eu/crying">list of songs i’ve cried to</a>. It was the
good kind of cry, for what it’s worth.
</li>
<li>New <a href="https://satyrs.eu/dreams">dream</a> and <a href="https://satyrs.eu/discord">funny moments</a>.</li>

<a href="https://satyrs.eu/repelsteeltje">Dutch version</a>. The only reason i made this was because it annoyed me

<strong>New site name!</strong> Welcome to <i>The Satyrs’ Forest</i>. I always found just calling it
<i>satyrs.eu</i> to be terribly, terribly generic.
</li>
<li>
A visual refresh was in order for <a href="https://satyrs.eu/quoth">the quotes page</a>, and with it comes the magic
of <em>video</em>!
</li>
<li>
Two links added to the <a href="https://satyrs.eu/linkroll">linkroll</a>, alongside two new tags (‘Americana’ and
‘Fledglings’).
</li>
<li>
The <a href="https://satyrs.eu/about">about page</a> now contains a helpful map to assist in geographical
orientation.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://satyrs.eu/codex/carol"><i>A Christmas Carol</i></a> has been added to the
<a href="https://satyrs.eu/codex">Codex</a>, partially just to test how a full book would work in the format, but
mostly because it’s a lovely little read at any time of year.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://satyrs.eu/belief">“What i believe”</a> now has a brief digression on what i would like done to my
corporeal body after i die.
</li>
<li>
<a href="https://satyrs.eu/vinyl">Updated the vinyl collection databank</a> with <i>Speaking in Tongues</i> — “This
Must Be the Place (Naïve Melody)” is surely up there as one of the greatest songs ever written.
</li>
<li>
I may give in to the epicene urge to redesign my music page again at some point. Not saying i will,
but…
</li>
<li>
The <a href="https://satyrs.eu/styleguide">style guide</a> has been outfitted with a brief statement of “general

<i>This is a copy of the <a href="https://satyrs.eu/misrule">main page</a> for the event.</i>
</p>
<p>
<strong class="theonym">“Iō Saturnalia!”</strong> So went the cry that marked the start of the eponymous
classical holiday. For one glorious week, Roman society was turned on its head: slaves became masters;
togas were out and ostentatious displays of colour were in; gag gifts were given; and one lucky person
was elected the local King of <span class="theonym">Saturnalia</span>. Whatever orders the King barked
had to be followed, no matter how ridiculous. This tradition clung on even into the Christian middle
ages as the English “lord of misrule” — a lone pagan vestige in a monotheistic world.
</p>
<p>
So, in the spirit of those winter holidays, to lighten up this frosty time of year, i thought it would
be fun to let you play that rule for my website. Welcome, one and all, to the first annual
<strong><i>satyrs.eu</i> Lords of Misrule</strong>!
</p>
<p>
If you write or put together something — absolutely anything — and email it to
<strong><a href="mailto:misrule@satyrs.eu"><span class="nohyphen">misrule</span><wbr>@<wbr><span class="nohyphen">satyrs.eu</span></a></strong>, come <span class="theonym">Saturnalia</span> (that’s December 17 to 23, for those who understandably
aren’t up to date with ancient festival customs) 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>
<p>
I would ask that you don’t submit any political polemics (we’ve had quite enough of those) or anything
that would get me in legal trouble, but apart from that, anything goes. Your gran’s chocolate cake
recipe? An impassioned defence of <i>Freddy Got Fingered</i> as an ironic masterpiece? A rant about how
keyboards aren’t what they used to be? Whatever you — my lords of misrule — want.
</p>
<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!

Move to a “real” host. I love Neocities with all my heart and know that if i moved away it’d
probably decimate (in the Roman sense) the number of people who come to visit this site, but it
is slowly killing me that <i>The Garden</i> is such a faff to update and can’t support comments

<a href="https://satyrs.eu/belief/nl" hreflang="nl" lang="nl">„Wat geloof ik?”</a> now uses the long S— i suspect my

Right, hello! After months of the only information of what’s changed being non-specific date numbers
on the front page, i’ve finally set up a proper changelog; i’ll try to keep this irregularly updated
with recent changes to the site. Might even add <span style='font-variant-caps: all-small-caps;'>RSS</span> at some point, if i
can be bothered to figure it out. Anyway, in recent news…

This website now has a functioning favicon. I’ll be rolling it out to pages as i edit them — there’s
a lot of pages to edit, you can’t rush this sort of thing!

I’m testing out designs for comments on <i>The Garden</i> on a
<a href="https://satyrs.eu/thegarden/sandbox.html">sandbox page</a>. Comments will just work via you emailling them
and me manually adding them; it’s the easiest way to get around Neocities’ limitations as a static
site host.
