Pirkka-niksi jota ei Pirkka-lehdestä löydy: Pirkka-lehdestä voi punoa korin pyörittelemällä puolikkaita aukeamia neulepuikon ympäri, ja opetella punomaan kahdella kuteella samanaikaisesti. #Pirkka #Paperiaskartelu #Punonta
"Naiset pelkäävät vähemmän lakia [...] ja siksi he ovatkin eturivissä kaikissa julkisissa kahakoissa, eikä heille vedä vertaa kukaan väkivallassa ja villeydessä." Make Women Great Again.
Ai että. Nyt lähtee. Tätä lukiessa mietin lähitulevaisuuden uudelleenjärjestystä paikallisesti ja yhteisöihin, koska kriisit ja ruokaketjujen lyheneminen. Myöhemmin kirjassa vasta 1800-luvulla palvelijoiden ja palveltavien suhde kärjistyy (koska kapitalismi.)
Noniin, 2026 suomennos työparilta Gisela Bock ja Barbara Duden : Rakkauden työ - Kotityön synty kapitalismissa Minulle parasta: kapitalismia edeltävä (koti)talouden järjestämisen logiikka ja miten koti ja elinkeino olivat erottamattomat; toisaalta miten 1800-l propaganda ajoi naiset nurkkaan.
My corner shop sells cheap flowers, but the staff always forgets to water them, and they end up in the discount bin as damaged. I salvaged most of this bouquet by chopping off half of the stems to get rid of dry bits. #Bloomscrolling
Laitoin tänään irtotaskun huvikseni. Sen sisään mahtuu ainakin eväs.
A pal took me out for drinks and snacks (so I can be his 17th century fashion tutoress later this month) at a Japanese-run izakaya by the Baltic Sea. We had an interesting chili experience with the teriyaki tofu.
Doing things x) I'll hope to color in Mrs Bug later in Krita, after I scan all these little hand-inked babies. #animation #beginneranimation
Bottom shelf smoked tofu mixed with vegan mayo and fraiche, salt, pepper, lemon juice, dill and red onion. Served with potat and whatever veg feels available in your nearest fridge. #GoVegan #Vegan #WhatDoVegansEat
I downloaded OBS at last. Anyhow, a little watercolour art sprite is on the run on my #Godot bezier curves now, and it's following my cursor. Many many little things to iron out x)
In #Godot if I give my bezier curve path a pathfollow child node and give that a 2D sprite node, the sprite gets locked on the path, and I can move it along on the progress slider, like so. Not quite what one is desirous of, but we shall see. We shall see.
A late-night doodle, a bezier curve made with #Godot Path2D node. The shape is a stylised heart which is one of common folkloric runes of protection described in a late 19th century book about Finnish magic runes and other such things. (Dang I wish I could find it on Finna again for reference.)

This morning's reading Already kind of miss this before it ends; I'll have to start on the Kanteletar once I'm out of The Way [sic]
This is a quick (10 min) mind-game I made for myself as an effort to see what happens if I needlessly complexify Main Menu text. I have a theory that since Everything Is Always Possible in the Right Context, then in theory there exists a game where this is a right choice. #Writing #VideoGameWriting
The next book in my pile (finally got it from my local library): The Story of Capital by David Harvey @davidharvey.org
I, entirely on my own and without outside counsel, thought of this passage in Tao Te Ching and compared it to the symbolification and ultracomplexity of contemporary life where symbols hold more value than reality.
Poetry landed on me in the woods this morning and I hate I missed parts of it, but at least I captured some. It's silly because the second stanza is translated Finnish word-play.
But is there any point to any of it? Well, actually, probably, no. But who knows, maybe everything eventually collides in my subconscious in some meaningful way.
Jumalan synty — isän ja pojan kätketty historia. Lukusuositus. Tieteeseen ja tutkimukseen perustuvaa kriittistä kirjallisuutta juutalaisen, kristillisen ja islamilaisen perinteen monoteismin synnystä, viimeinen tosin ulos rajattuna.
