decided to change the header & profile pics. This one is a photo taken of a watercolor jar, and a painting of a somewhat stylized fan art of Luz from The Owl House. Current one is from Earwig and the Witch (2012), written by Diana Wynne Jones, illustrated by Paul O. Zelinsky, and animated by Studio Ghibli (2021).

this is the most legible and most interesting page from the scrapbook papers … it seems to be a page from something that lists people with ‘w’ last names and their jobs, and the addresses of their businesses. The job titles are interesting … linendraper is the weirdest one, and it comes up a lot.

Also reading Bitcoin is for Everyone. About 3/4 is about ‘broken money’, just written in a more succinct and easier to summarize way. It’s really depressing to read about the horrible broken money system, again. Just like the Charles Dickens book, I try to read a chapter a day. Or every few days. Or a week. On the plus side, it helps me to understand my experiences of being not valued and devalued at work, being managed out. Why did graduate school feel like an authoritarian regime? Why did the ensuing work place also feel like an even more targeted authoritarian regime? If the money system devalues The Money, that means it is devaluing people’s time and energy, or their experiences, or basically, their lives. So my experience, in a high cost of living city, is part of that. And if the world, aka human society has been this way, then maybe it’s a necessary part of going from being a young adult to an adult to experience that, so you can know it exists and understand that it happens. So maybe when I sometimes feel this anger and rage at a personal level, I can instead read more about “why and how our financial system is broken” and maybe, somehow Bitcoin could be a solution . . . for “everyone”?

ahhhh! again I have found clips of this style outside on the ground! Is this a toddlers trend or something? I haven’t seen any kids wearing these though.

🤔 yeah well, how can a nation be abandoning a patriarchal culture when the culture has always been patriarchal?

1854. “Born on February 7, 1812, Charles Dickens was the second of eight children in a family burdened with financial troubles… When Dickens was in his late thirties, his social criticism became biting, his humor dark, and his view of poverty darker still. David Copperfield, Bleak House, Hard Times, A Tale of Two Cities, and Our Mutual Friend are the great works of his prolific later period.” The world of Charles Dickens begins with the 1811 publishing of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, arguably the first modern English novel. I don’t think I’ve ever actually read anything by Charles Dickens. Although of course I’m familiar with the plot of A Christmas Carol, which has been featured in many cartoons. One involving Scrooge McDuck.

😌stickers with a cafe/coffee theme. #foundobjects

a winter display using mostly, actually … all found objects! The two snowflakes were the most recent finds, left on a christmas tree that was being thrown out. The little snowperson and heart was found by my partner on a walk. And the ice coffee drawing card was part of a bunch of sticker and stationery supplies someone left in the lobby of a previous apartment.
