A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF!
Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

Reading this interview/art review of DY Begay was a bright spot in my day today
I am especially grateful to the artist and writers for including some of her preparatory sketches and the weaving that resulted from them

Time to reinvent grammy’s chocolate bundt cake. I wonder if I can get any of the other cousins in on this because the sheer number of experiments is going to be a bit overwhelming. Maybe we can even shoot for the moon and do it gluten-free
Also, from the depths of my soul:

Shrinkflation strikes AGAIN: boxes of Betty Crocker cake mix are two ounces smaller (from 15.25 ounces to 13.25 ounces).
That cookie or cake recipe you inherited from Grandma probably called for a 18.25 ounce box of cake mix.

After several eternities, my loom is reassembled, warped, and cooperating as I get used to…um…a two-faced honeycomb weave whose draft I found in Strickland’s 8-shaft patterns book. I needed to see how this pattern could give undulating lines in weaving

Failed to convince the pharmacist to give me covid shot, so I guess it is time to channel that frustration into being better about masking going forward

We have all heard “don’t grocery shop while hungry”, but I might need a personal rule “don’t plan an early morning walk after dark”
It is remarkable how much more resistant I am to commit to new routes or unfamiliar destinations if I am in evening cozy mode. Curiosity and walking seem fake

A lesson I never seem to learn:
folks doing customer service are not actually going to scold me for politely asking them for help.
I made a dreaded phone call today and had a lovely chat that solved multiple problems
Will I be any less nervous next time? Lol

Feeling a little delicate today and gambled what felt like my last bit of discretionary energy on baking a mini cake. The smell alone is reducing my cramps, restoring my vitality, and watering my crops
