So, my website is up and running. Not much going on in the Text page at this point, but I'll be adding to it. Figured I'd embed Bandcamp player into the website instead of uploading audio files. This project is so much fun.

Just finished Kanafani's 'Men in the Sun (رجال في الشمس)'. I knew what was going to happen and it still hit me right in the guts. His writing feels like a dream or a memory. There's a familiarity to it. Feels like remembering the events as you are reading. His 'On Men and Rifles' felt the same.

The plan for the weekend is to pick up a train model from the hobby shop. I want to kit bash it into a rusty tank on tracks.

I want to build a wee cyberdeck that is only VCV Rack. I know nothing about programming or electronics but I'm autistic, so how hard can this project be?

I have been thinking about the things I create (sounds, music, visual art, etc). I've found that so long as it was make in earnest, I will always be proud of it.

The way I like to experience Star Wars media is to accept that it was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. That's why the details can be murky, contradictory, or even silly.

Gotta say, the films are cool and all, but the Star Wars novels are a hell of a good time. Everything from Darth Bane, all the High Republic stuff, those Thrawn series! The voice actor Marc Thomson does a wonderful job. Adds so much to the experience.

Putting on a wash after painting a model is so satisfying. I do need to try oil washes though. I've been using acrylic. Good enough but I want to try a side by side.

Need some recommendations for jazz piano and/or trumpet records that rip your heart out. Devastating shit. Please and thank you.

I've been good at keeping up with using a handwritten work journal/planner for the past couple of years. I was using the ones that had an open calendar with months and days but found using a simple lined notebook is much better for me. Daily tasks, anything of note, to-dos, and reflections.

I really need to read some Hannah Arendt. Also, how dope is this picture.

I really need to pick up a controller and play around with VCV again. Faders and pots would be dope.

An activity I enjoy is playing Skyrim as a walking sim. It's just nice, you know. Recently started playing Cyberpunk 2077 that way. Very cool to take the time and enjoy what the devs and artists worked on. Alters of human creativity and labour. For better or worse.

Folk working in education (especially in H.E.), regardless of subject, have a responsibility to contextualise their material to our current reality. Politically, economically, etc. It is not easy. Folk are overworked and struggle to keep up. It is worth the effort.
