It really was… Even his dental records were cool to see. I had no idea he was colour blind! He’s long gone, but nice to know that his legacy lives on in textual records!

I’m sorry you’ve had this experience. It’s clear from your content that you care deeply about a variety of things and strive to impart some genuine personality and conscience in your work. Hopefully those that see and appreciate outweigh those that don’t. 🙏🧿

Ohh..ok. Thank you. Like a knitting tutor. Very cool. I know nothing about knitting, but it’s good to have an idea of what might be involved if I wish to start! Seeing all the beautiful projects here is inspiring.

The love you felt for him is clear just from this post. I have no doubt you paid him great honour. I’m glad you pushed through, it can be a gift to share what we love with others. I’m sorry for the loss of him, nonetheless. He looks like a good friend.

"Misogyny pervades right-wing populism.” - exactly that. In our nation and amongst our neighbours to the south. I hadn’t seen these clips (thankfully, so painful to listen to), but appreciate you posting this.

Yay you! Definitely. 💯 Those are the kinds of things we get, and can care about, having seen too many other GenX'ers crash and burn, or die…
