This is peak SW right here...
KP scrapping narrowleaf yucca leaves to make brushes for painting on ceramics. A pocket gopher ate the rootball of this yucca and partially pulled it underground. KP scavenged the leaves. Use what you have!

Week 09-26 – Curiosities

Those sunset winter skies are something else! Greetings from the Mesa And just like that false spring has arrived and it's back to afternoons outside with the dog playing frisbee. The fresh air feels lovely. I've fallen a bit behind in my work schedule - i'm living patterns - work really hard for a month or two and then rest for a week or more.

Nix/86 – Days 28-30 – Graphic Novel/Zine

ALT TEXT - Day 28 It's been a week - a stress-filled bullshit kind of week. I didn't think I did even one step. At least my no assist into bed streak is still going strong. KP adjusted my walker so i'll get back at it tomorrow. Sometimes you need to pause one thing to give full attention to another. We have reached a point of homeostasis of current conditions (for now).

Week 08-26 – Curiosities

Valentine's day puzzle - Desert Oasis - This was a fun challenge Greetings from the Mesa It's been a quiet past few days. We spent Valentine's day eating cheese dip and working on the puzzle pictured above. It took three sessions to complete. We finished watching all three seasons of Foundation, and are just starting to get into watching some Olympics events.

Been migrating my website off of Ghost and back into self-hosted Wordpress site. I think i've done what I can with htaccess and robots to block ai scrapers, bots, and the like. The flexibility of WP is so much better than Ghost - which I liked for its simplicity but dislike for its simplicity. Onward and forward.

I finished The Count of Monte Cristo - SO GOOD.

@ronsboy67 it is non-stop for sure! I would definitely read this again.

300 pages or so to go, an adventure in every chapter. I am loving this book!

A picture of a hand holding the book The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, there is a bookmark sticking out the top of the book that says "Hold". The bookmark is at page 900 or so of 1200+ pages. The cover shows a moody castle above a beach on a dark cloudy day.

I deleted my account as soon as I saw this. This sucks for filmmakers because you know enshittification is right around the corner.

Latest Curiosities is up on my site - where I try to cobble back some of the joy of the early web finding new things to learn, and that old weird website goodness...
