The inferno of the living is not something that will be; it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together:

- The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it.
- The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of the inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.

— Invisible Cities, Italo Calvino

@neauoire Calvino's Mr. Palomar is my Superegos Alter. One of the few authors I've read in their entirety. Difficult Loves is my favourite.

@neauoire Here in Italy it's full of educated people proudly proclaiming their hate for Calvino.

From Forward Harbor to Port Neville in Johnstone Strait (B.C., Canada), we must have tacked 25 times in total to get here.

The wind was good, 17-23 knots, but in your face. The whole of Johnstone Strait is wind in your face. I am super beat.

We encountered two pods of orcas though! They surfaced close both times, we got a really good look at them. The first pod had a baby :>.... :orca:

When you sail off the beaten path and the ferry lines, you can see moutains like this one, which has a bad case of "the humans".

@neauoire they've seen so many episodes of Stargate SG-1

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as UXN, is in fact, UXN/Varvara, or as I've recently taken to calling it, UXN plus Varvara. UXN is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning UXN system

The most psychotic community edit on the chart that I've ever seen.

C.B.Leslie

@neauoire what's a community edit on a chart? Like a nautical chart? Is it an online thing?

Wandering activists and poets, George and Mary Oppen, aboard the small boat they lived on in the 1930s.

So, @abnercoimbre kindly asked me to come talk with Handmade Seattle again this year.

In response to the recent mass layoffs and crumbling tech landscape, Abner suggested that I come present some thoughts I might have on different ways to adapt and live.

See you there 🌻 Nov 20-22nd, 2024

When we changed our mainsail in 2019, we kept the old battens. We've used them for a variety of projects over the years.
More recently, we used some as a way to keep the books from falling out when sailing.

@rek a padlock on one end would also protect the books from any stowaway book thieves.
