Fond of — semicolons, and‽

Late-realised AuDHD—always a bit queer.

And this is the official end of the thread—with the resulting loaves!

Two ended up decent.
The other two are a bit thin.

I won't be doubling the recipe again, any time soon. Don't know enough about deleting out the adjustments needed for the change.

The section & subsection titles are fun throughout, and have character (another thing missing from a lot of other recipe books I've collected over the years).

"Beyond, Before, and Besides Yeast Bread: A Plethora of Categories"

Love an alliterative listed section head; titled & subtitled.

This is a spread that illustrates the the style and vibe of the book quite well (though, it _is_ missing the 1970's display font used for "chapter" headings).

The whole book is printed in black and white because...printing's expensive! Every color you add multiplies the cost significantly.

I'm just waiting to get to one full year of a steak.

Then I'm done with Duolingo.

Manipulative, annoying, guilt-tripping, constant, anti-human interaction, programmatically problematic behavior.

And yet, that "one year mark" keeps me.

But, geez.

#bloomscrolling ! Oh wow—this is a new favorite. Thank you. 😍

Fantastic butterfly!

This is one of my favorite shots.

There are so many quotes that resonate.

"...[an] overwhelming jungle of rituals & group identities [&] normative behaviors [&] seemingly abundant but actually restrictive sociotechnological covenants that make up what we pretend will eventually feel like belonging in tech..."

Ahh; my mind went straight towards Amethyst from Steven Universe.

I love the Fairy Crash Site designation though.

Have found a few fairy villages and gnome homes in the North Carolina woods—but no such crash sites yet.

Woke near the day's first light. With 100°F | 38°C + days, the wee hours are the only times to enjoy reading outdoors.

So, starting my day off with Miffy, coffee, and the history of typography & punctuation—adding my own thought breadcrumbs of marginalia, along the way.

Continuing to enjoy @shadycharacters.co.uk 's book.

Today, I've finished the &—

and monkey's tail

@.

Now on the asterisk and dagger:

*†

I believe, and hope, my own marginalia and bookmarking honors all the history of the very marks' histories being detailed.

This week in co-existing with wild animals.

Saw a fawn yesterday, in the back yard, as it tried to get back into it's day's hidey hole.

Today: fireflies are back!

Also, accidentally uprooted one of the favorite nightly snacks of the local deer.

This is a print I did while studying Graphic Design in University. We had a letterpress lab—forget specifically which kind. I spent 8-hours one Saturday creating and printing this.

Needed two or three full sets of letters. Tons of furniture and such.

I was cleaning up cobwebs from the front porch...then got distracted.

Ended up pulling up lots of vines in just a few square meters of space.

Off the side of the house's vinyl, brick, electrical boxes...wrapped around wires, bushes, and other plants.

Carolina Ivy, it's called.

Here you go!

A photo of my most recent tattoo, the seventh. Located on the inside of my left wrist, it reads "—be—Kind" above a rainbow-colored Infinity symbol, one side being a cresting wave, curling towards & to complete the line's cross stroke.

A very eventful final two chapters.

Slow Productivity by Cal Newport.

Also: yay embracing marginalia.

Her timekeeping is incredible.

Every evening, she tells us it's time for her dinner...often from a minute to five within dinnertime.

Time-change messed with her a lot; around two-weeks to recalibrate.
