Yay! I love journaling and reading everyone’s thoughts about systems that work for them. I especially like functional journaling. It’s so cool that you have such a long collection of notebooks.
For pens I have really been loving the Uniball Zento Gel Pen - they are sooo nice to write with. They also have Uniball refills.
I loveee dot grid notebook too. Japanese stationery paper always feels so nice. I even sometimes go to my local Daiso and use some of their spiral notebooks as a fairly inexpensive but still really nice feeling notebook.
Glad you took the time to watch a Tropes vs Women in Video Games video!
That series is excellent and AS has done so much more for gender studies and video games than has been recognised. The whole backlash from ‘gamers’ and the harassment that followed only serves to reinforce toxic masculinity in games. That’s the patriarchy at work.
Although the Feminist Frequency non-profit was ultimately wound up, the Feminist Frequency Radio podcast lives on
The Weekly Wrap Up is posted! Links this week include throwing message bottles in the sea, an archive of mid 20th-century commercial art and the story of a lion pride taking care of one of their own. I talk about my own childhood experience with throwing a message bottle in the sea and about some upcoming surgery. Plus, as usual, I listened to, read and watched things.
New blog post discussing the personal benefits of deliberately following fewer people on Mastodon. A feed with a clearly defined beginning and end is so much better for me!
Also, I’m testing a new drop cap font on my blog post titles, so I’d appreciate a heads up if it looks wonky on your end. I’ve tested it on a few different browsers and devices and it looks consistent wherever I’ve tested it, but there are always edge cases, of course. Also, I know the :firstchild::firstletter pseudo-classes aren’t supported on all older browsers, so I’d be curious to know what my post titles look like if you use an older browser.
the heartbreak of digital disappearance is something I really wrestle with. I disappeared to a lot of people and have a guilt for it, but also feel a way about being kind of frozen in time on an abandoned or deleted account. & same on wanting to actually blog for connection, not just to be a “perpendicular line”
@AetherAnne a good reminder to prune my feeds a bit as a fellow compulsive-scroller
The Weekly Wrap Up is posted! Links this week include a found trove of conversations recorded on cassette tapes, a slightly creepy look into the information your computer gives out freely and ask a question of The Bat Cloud oracle. I’m already getting mail from the postcard clubs I joined this month and I share those images and I went to my city’s monthly Indivisible meeting. Link Lagniappe is back! Plus, as usual, I listened to, read and watched things.
