As of October 2025, Black Stone Sanctuary has relocated our main control room to Substack, and is now publishing with Studio Slowcore.

I (Danica Swanson) will no longer be publishing on Paragraph as part of crypto or web3 culture. My days on Farcaster are numbered too.

I'll leave all my existing Paragraph posts intact, both here and on A Digital Incubation Space.

Someday I may write about "coin exhaustion" and what it's cost me to spend five years trying to "earn a living" in crypto. It won't be an easy or fun piece to write.

If you're still interested in keeping up with the work of Black Stone Sanctuary, please follow Of Hearth & Shadow on Substack, where we'll be more active in the coming months. (My other Substack projects, Endarkenment and The Anticareerist, are now retired).

• We've reinstated most of the unpublished Black Stone Sanctuary posts. They can now be found at their original Substack URLs.

• We've also migrated most of our Paragraph posts back onto Substack.

More info and links on the Studio Slowcore About page.
