 Converse shoes are not made to last, but I really love wearing them. I don't want to buy them new, but so far I keep finding some at the thrift store! Found this lovely pair yesterday for 4$. Just gave them a bath(soles were dirty) and now they're as good as new ^_____^! Dev made patterns on the enveloppes of the stickers we plan to ship using a spirograph they found at a thrift store ^____^ The marina where we winter put us at the end of the dock this year! For once, we'll have an unrestricted view of the harbour from our cockpit :>...  @rek what I'm hearing is it's now easy to catch some winter winds on those cabin-fever days over the next 7 months... :)  @rek “Expect lots of art featuring root vegetable root-shaped sailboats, rabbits, and seabirds!”—this sounds wonderful! I've had StarDict(a terminal dictionary) on my computer for some time now, but I only added a synonyms dictionary recently! Been using it a lot, it's great :D!  In Canada, today is Orange Shirt Day, it's a day of awareness to recognize the atrocities perpetrated by the country's boarding schools on the children of indigenous communities.  using FileIO orangify(x) = (x == RGB(1,1,1) ? RGB(1,0.5,0) : x) orange = map(orangify, load("teapot-bw.jpg")) I don't often post for a time-sensitive thing, but I figured some of y'all would like to know that my new set of Magic: The Gathering cards are now available! https://secretlair.wizards.com/us/product/1018463/tome-of-the-astral-sorceress

@helveticablanc oooh i saw these elsewhere and thought they were gorgeous, great job on these :3   @helveticablanc oh wow incredible 🤩 Just ordered 4x, the playset of preordains will go straight into my fairies pauper deck! __ Handwriting your RSS feed __ Do you write your HTML by hand? Have you ever wondered if you could keep an RSS feed similarly - no management software, only a webhost and a text editor? I've written a barebones guide to handwritten RSS. It's so, so, easy.

 @abundance I did that for years, before I installed a CMS, because I though it was cool. Finally some retroactive validation 💜  @abundance We wrote a blog post about doing handwritten Atom feeds just recently - I think they're fussier but both are pretty easy to make!  Check the generator tag on the #2ClownsInACloset podcast for a related Easter egg. Been doing this the hard way since the second episode. Damn. I’m glad to have Vancouver Island as a weather shield... outside waters(queen charlotte sound) have a hurricane warning in effect for tomorrow, with 65 knot winds out of the south forecast :neofox_peek_owo:

 A group of very vocal and very organized local militants have fought for years to preserve the Steinberg woods, located in a gigantic vacant lot in my neighborhood. A highway ramp for trucks coming in and out the port was set to be built there, an absolute heresy in these times. After 8 years of battle, they... actually won! The woods will be protected. I did the first poster to help their campaign a year and a half ago. It was only fitting to do an updated version after the announcements <3 "Fuck it," I said, "let's buy some pre-made hummus." We never buy pre-made hummus, we always make our own, but after today's difficult sail we were both tired and hungry. At the grocery store, I then saw the price of a small tub of hummus. "We... are making our own hummus!"

  Grey stormy days at anchor, no way to charge my computer. I’m babysitting the wood stove and making drawings for Rabbit Waves ^____^ Been a while since I've used coloring pencils ^_____^! Currently processing some drawings for Rabbit Waves. O'course, it features a sea bird(long-billed murrelet) While I've never seen one irl, I have seen Kittlitz's murrelets. They're such tiny things! :moomin_sparkles: Listening to a very good techno mix. A voice comes up... a superb, opera singing voice, timed with a hard bass in the background, and I just... start crying. Like, a lot haha... cause it's so damn beautiful :saddercat: Damn. It's hard to listen to music sometimes, it just toys with my emotions too much.  @calutron Excuse me, flight attendant, I’ve paid for a Gluttony ticket but you’ve seated me in Limbo. For 3 years now, we've had a monthly hand-drawn calendar in the galley that we cover with doodles, at the end of the year, @rek binds the 12 pages together, and it makes it easy to look back at where we were, what we were doing at a previous time. Everyday has some kind of highlight or other- It's one of our favourite habits.

@Shyle Ça a marché, j'ai souri :) (blague à part, c'est une très chouette histoire, que j'ai savouré en me demandant quelle serait la chute, et je ne m'y attendais pas)  @Shyle Aw, wow, j'adore l'idée de cette bd :>... beau message, super traitement. Bravo ^_____^... This is my first time doing this but our cat has been needing new meds and commissions and tattoo work has been extremely low this summer. We would appreciate any little bit of help ~ re-shares much appreciated! |

@rek Pretty neat for 4! Nowadays I just buy pairs of Victoria (Spanish clones made here), which are great.
@rek I was lucky that mine lasted 10 years though towards the end I could only wear them in dry weather due to the glue failing near the toes
@rek Nice find! Last I counted, I've destroyed >15 pairs of Converse. Nearly all were thrifted or deeply discounted overstock.
