Mounting the pulleys however had me at a loss for bad ideas.  Here's one example, a monstrosity of scrap plywood.  It's cute that the pulley is invisible, but there's nothing else good happening here.

Bending whatever metal strapping around the pulleys is fine and leaves me free to use any type of bolt appropriate for the mysterious ceiling.  The axle should have been simple, let's not discuss how overcomplicated I made this out of a misplaced urge to use up old junk.  Just a safety note that if you too choose to hang anything unusual above your head, please make sure that it can't loosen with time.

By a stroke of luck, I found that the bathroom ceiling included a few metal studs, which I trust to give hints before catastrophic failure, unlike the ancient concrete and plaster powder everywhere else in the apartment.  And even luckier, a strange little access door provides a clutch of extra metal to anchor to, all in the spot directly above a door jamb where I planned to anchor to anyway.  If you don't have a little door like this, it will provide insight, it's low risk—and you might lure a family of Borrowers.
