I’ve enjoyed watching your technique change/evolve, and I’m so glad you post them.

Having admired your bookmarks for a while now, may I ask about their disposition when complete? Are they created for a specific unfilled niche or do they live clustered with their siblings until a specific home appears? Or do they have the noble purpose of increasing the net beauty of the world?

I can’t decide if that’s bug or feature, to be honest. (I do hope you find it though!)

Absolutely the fuck not, no. I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with people who didn’t grasp that. As a species, we’re all desperate to find a reason to mock people that we can tell ourselves is legitimate, and it does not reflect well on us that we can’t resist the impulse.

All the jokes about Markwayne Mullin’s name are just more reminders that y’all are *wildly* conditional in your values. You can’t wait to mock someone for being too country, just like you love to fat-shame, mock unattractiveness, etc. He’s awful, but it’s not bc his name sounds β€œredneck” to you. πŸ–•

I once commissioned a cartoon of the pocket universe where my lost pencils must live. I put the image on a mug, then stashed a fresh supply of pencils in it; to my surprise I did achieve a somewhat higher retention rate in this universe.

Oh god, now that’s a depressing thought. (Accurate tho of course.)

Holy fuck that’s awesome!

Well. 3C and D and the relevant bits of 5.5 certainly are enraging. I’m so glad this guy absorbed the letter and gave you what you needed (to the degree legitimately available)!

Three rows of silver rings set with a variety of gemstones; one ring with a purple-ish stone is circled in red.

What’s the stone on this one?

Precepts ceremony? (Happy to do my own research, as it were, but a quick search found only potentially unreliable sites, so I’d welcome guidance. In any case, you look amazing and congratulations!)

I’m working through a Hebrew ~textbook aimed at children and adults who are not too proud to admit they are as children in the face of the Hebrew alphabet and I am accidentally and unwillingly learning actual words.

Rude to sneak in real content when I’m only here for glyphs, how very dare.

Could I ask you to remind me what this one is? It’s here, it’s gorgeous, I love it, but my brain retains nothing about anything anymore.

Awesome. To recap, it’s item 84 the topaz pendant and item 94 the size 5 ring bundleβ€”whatever way works for you to list them is obv fine with me.

Just fyi I’ll be going offline for Shabbat in ~2.5 hours so I may not be able to purchase until late tomorrow.

I mean, I’d love to see any other size 5s, since size is the only thing that’s kept me from buying several of these new rings lately.
