I read Strata at some point around 1983. Dark Side of the Sun around the same time. Library finds that left an impression. I was formally introduced to Terry Pratchett and the Discworld in 1990 or 91.
It's basically a peanut butter cup made with premium ingredients.
It should tick all my boxes.
But it's just a sickly oversweet mess.
The Labour party died with John Smith.
A tiny wooden carved heart, with a tree with multiple branches carved jnto it, right to the edge. Gaps between branches (and around the trunk) are completely cut away, to reveal whatever is behind it. Which in this case are the tips of two fingers. Behind (out of focus) is the top of a wooden workbench and two carving tools.
Work in progress. Tiny tree of life in a heart. Carved from boxwood.

This is quite lovely.
I've come to recognise the ideal as working counter to the reality.
"Perfect is the antithesis of done"
I'll never see my own work that way. I know every flaw, bodge & mistake intimately. I know where I struggled & compromised. I will always see them & seek them out even when others don't.
Storm surging outside.
As warmth returns to the walls
It still feels empty.
I got worried when i saw multiple people posting about Dolly Parton but apparently it's only because its her birthday. phew!
Near as I can tell all it does is alter your profile image to say "live" and link to wherever you tell it you are streaming. So you'd have to accidentally perform 5-6 steps across multiple platforms.
I think they should give me a staff discount if I work here now.
I do not disagree with anything you have written. I do take issue with the idea that "folklore" is just gnomes & fairies.
Folklore and oral tradition are how knowledge is retained and passed on within many cultures. What to use. Where to find it. When to plant. When to harvest. Guidance & warnings.

For the curious, the author Mary Beith had a fascinating career as a journalist.
I read her column on herbalism & folklore as a teenager and it fostered a lifelong interest. I often wish that those columns would be collected.

Why is the best information I can find about bus services and road closures in the North of Scotland in day old articles linking a twitter post?
Your app will certainly sell me ticket but is the service even running?
Why are government agencies, public services and companies still on twitter?
Every one of them has it's own website and apps where it could be providing essential information directly to the people who need it without the risk of exposing them to CSAM.

A screen shot of TrueRef Flow, a timed gesture practice tool. It features a woman standing straight, with one hand up in a mage like gesture.
A screenshot of TrueRef Pose, a free pose library. It features several images of an athletic woman poses in a variety of different ways.
I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io.
While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍

It was a very solid ending. I think my biggest complaint overall is that the lore/prequel from "the first shadow" wasn't made available in a more broadly accessible format. A comic, animation something.
Time to step up and pick your roll.. Either go down there with snacks and ask them "are you winning?" Or get to the top of that stair and start hollerin' like the cranky ol' man Heiss you were born to be!
I like your soup mugs.

I keep thinking about the new Knives Out: Wake Up, Dead Man. (potential spoilers)
There's so much in it about faith and what creates loyalty and meaning. But as a disabled person, the thread of the wheelchair user seeking healing had me bracing myself.
