#introductions (revised)
I'm middle-aged, an American in western Europe, married over 25 years. Cats - 2, feline bereavements, 2 within the previous year.
Current obsessions include brush calligraphy (via Japanese language study) & sumo, thanks to Japanese Satellite TV. My own budo is aikido, which I love, but sometimes not the people in it (budo have some unfortunate attractions for fascist bigots). Knitting, spinning (yarn), mental health are other interests. And languages.
Did you know an early design for Lara Croft was a Latina archaeologist named Laura Cruz? Would you like to read a novel where Laura kicks butt in space, saving Earth from zombies and ecoterrorists? Courtney Alameda's _Pitch Dark_ has all that and more. Absolutely fabulous. Read!
Someone knocked over my paints 😞
#amspinning - my gambit to do fine threads only in 50 gram portions had been working out. As has the 30 minute max spinning sessions.
Luckily, carding wool exercises a different set of muscles, unkinking some of the ones that get stiff during the stationary spinning sessions.
in a public forum like this, with no ability to separate things into different conversations or threads, no content is too important for a cw.
just do it.
(note that this does not mean everything /needs/ one, just that "too important" is no excuse.)
Meanwhile, in Russia...
Please help me raise money to help pay for life saving gender affirming surgeries that will massively alleviate my dysphoria, increase my safety in a transphobic society, and improve my quality of life. #transfundraiser
Hi everyone, I’m sure you’re sick of seeing this, but we are still in a dire situation. Rune has yet to find work, despite spending hours job hunting and applying (I think if they have to do another online aptitude test for a minimum wage service job, they’re gonna cry.) We’re still £80 short of covering our direct debits for this month, and have no money for food or additional expenses.

We're all feeling pretty demoralized, I think.
Take a spare morel to help you re-up your supply, and pass it along.
It kind of bothers me when people say there are no new regular users coming to Linux. In a country such as Colombia, where most people run "non-licensed" Windows copies and lose data and money every day, it's getting easier to convert people to Linux. And I don't mean techies; I mean normals: small businesses, freelancers and even entire families. I love Linux podcasts, but they so often forget there are people outside the US and Europe. Is anybody else in this instance from LATAM?
Like your content, guys. If you won’t be excited about it, why should I?

While adulthood didn't go quite as planned, I would love to be able to go back in time and reassure my childhood self that at least it is now possible to eat pizza whenever I want.
Sometimes it is better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness.

Right, Shop, I'm leaving the #spinningwheel and going to the #shodō table. Ta ta for now!
So, there might be more #shodō today, but because I'm not finding much to work on that's not connected to that folding fan project, I may just go to my #thousandcharacteressay, put my brain on neutral, and just make little tiny characters...
Well, phooey.
#craft #wip is something I won't be able to get a result for, before I have to put it away to deal with other things.
I'm getting stranded on the process of folding the fan, so that it's neatly lined up. I am going to have to admit that my methods as currently chosen may not be up to the job. *pout*
