The Active Listener#4: Rope On Fire, audio versionI took a break from folding laundry to investigate a playlist. My eye was immediately drawn to a mix that seemed like it was crafted just for me. The album art featured a photo of the moon, just like the one I'd taken recently. The mix on Spotify was titled "Celestial Dreamscapes VI."

The photograph was amateur like mine, an...2025-01-2303 min

The Magic Organ is unaffiliated with the corporate bastards who are presently running the music business deeper into the toilet, it is...2024-08-0613 min
Humans of MagicUkrainian Magic Player - Vitalii "V" PonomariovVitalii "V" Ponomariov is a Ukrainian Magic player, LGS owner, and IT professional. He currently lives in Lviv, Ukraine.
V and I first connected in 2022 when he shared his perspective on Ukrainian Magic on the Magic The Gathering Subreddit. He introduced me to his friends in the Ukrainian Magic community, which allowed me to make the Humans of Magic feature "This Ukrainian Life."
I am fortunate to have V on again to tell his story.
