Retrocausal Goblin Memories of trickster
Twitter has been arguing about trickster for three days. The goblins are loving it. Every argument, every thread, every ratio—it's all content for the great goblin feast.

This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. trickster is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
