Is this ironic, or did the tshirt designers really not pick up the errors in this?? It'd be a great gift for a not-too-observant someone who thinks they're always right and you want their t-shirt to prove otherwise

Today's #SpendingStrike #OptOut thought is about is about the irony of spending money to save the work of homemade, when the work is actually the fun and joy and point. I was thinking about knitting a dishcloth, and how foolish that would feel when disposible dishcloths cost next to nothing. Then I remembered this post from years ago, and how good those kind of repetitive craft activities are for creating thinking time. Making as its own reward, not something to avoid. https://witcheskitchen.com.au/things-born-of-mindfulness/

Everything is a web page: https://notes.neatnik.net/2025/01/everything-is-a-web-page

In 2025, I’m going to experiment with an intentional blurring of the line between “web page” and “blog post”. I’m going to syndicate (nearly) everything. I have no idea what’s going to happen, but I’m looking forward to giving it a try!

A plug for my side project: I have been working on on the admin side of bringing a night food market to Launceston. The first night is tonight. Friday Night Eats 6pm to 10pm, food, music, drinks! Get down to Civic Square and support our local food vendors - most of these vendors are recent migrants and this is their main source of income, they've been part of World Street Eats (Last Sunday) but today marks our first time launching into a night market. I'm heading down to the market now to help with set up (and food tasting I guess) #Launceston

People who walk with chronic pain by your side every moment of every day, I solemnly salute you. The way you keep going day after day, you have been wearing that coat of smiles and patience so long it has become a part of the fibres of your character, and the effect is more beauty than my heart can hold. #ChronicPain #pain
