I invite you to do Dad Shaped Things today that you can do regardless of what sort of person you are or what sort of family you're part of or not part of

If you have a shed, you can do something in it or to it

Putter or potter about, perform tasks that will go unnoticed until they're not done

If there are any two-stroke engines around you can do things that make you smell like a two-stroke engine

Screws, and their interactions with jam jars, could be investigated today

been thinking about some of the HTML-related convos i've seen on here about how publishing random static web pages isn't as easy as it used to be. i figured i'd try some stuff to see how it turned out: https://beaiouns.neocities.org/WYSIWYG

the page was initially made in LibreOffice Writer, saved as HTML, then uploaded to neocities and tweaked a bit. it seems to work well enough for basic site design.

i'm a little biased because it feels a lot easier than what i've been doing, which is ssh'ing into a NetBSD box and writing everything in vi, but hopefully it's also fairly easy for people who don't do everything the hard way?

basically you just do this:
* install LibreOffice
* open/make a word doc and save it as an HTML doc
* sign up for neocities and do what the cartoon cat tells you which takes 5-10 minutes-ish
* upload the HTML doc you made to your neocities dashboard

more tweaking can be done after that, but that's the basic workflow.

For #FungiFriday I wanted to share this impressive #fungus that was growing near Hilton Falls southwest of #Toronto #Canada. These pictures were taken this Tuesday. My apps tell me this is a Dryad’s Saddle (Cerioporus squamosus). One can see why it gets that name…

"There are colors that I want to show you, but I can’t. They exist in the real world. You probably saw some of them today, but I can’t show them to you on a screen. A digital photograph can’t capture them, and your screen can’t display them. No game you’ve ever played has contained them. Unless you have specialized equipment, they are entirely absent from the digital world.

Most of them are cyans."

Here are a few piece of my work towards my Final Major Project at university. Inspired by works by Dana Awartani, this work is the ultimate culmination of my time studying Craft/Materials at AUP in Plymouth and was displayed during the Graduate Summer Show last year.

I thank @trinityfranklinphoto over on Instagram for helping me assemble some of these pieces and photographing them. She is a star and I'm truly fortunate to have someone of that talent in my life

> But in the brave new world of Knitting Bullshit, all of that accumulated wisdom, all of the real history of knitting as labour, as resistance, as solidarity, as design intelligence, as craft, is now there simply to provide the powerful emotional currency that AI-generated podcasts and videos cynically mine for profit.

I finally got around to reading this Kate Davies post and it's ~3000 words of beautifully righteous rage.
