It is real bad and getting more dire, isn’t it? Here. Here is an orange pouch I have made to gift to someone who has been very generous with both me and the community at large. I hope it brightens your day, too. I’ll thread the pattern.

Let's take this screenshot for instance. The amount of information on screen is great! Not an overwhelming amount at all, just enough to pull you in. However, watch what happens if we digitally squint (aka blur). That video REALLY pops out. So when a visitor sees this page, their eye goes there.

And then for the light blue background, perhaps something with a bit more heft to it, that is a bit more opinionated. Or, maybe even something mystical like a future-y gradient type image (also from unsplash). You don't have to do BOTH of these. Again, the more elements you have, the more to manage

If we just pick two elements to think about, let's pick color and choice of photo. This is not prescriptive advice btw! just for demonstration. What photo would we pick if we are trying to convey speculative or magical? Something more like these, maybe? (images from unsplash)

I started knitting most of my new ‘notable’ clothes myself last year. I’ve noticed a real difference in my clothes consumption, and an awareness for material. Seems many brands are selling virgin plastic sweaters for $300 🥲 I’ve also gotten into spinning my own yarn.

I need to thank @alexanderchee.bsky.social publicly for the rose essay because it is absolutely stunning, and the last images haunt me daily, but also bc it gave me the courage to finally raise some roses myself. They’re going off this year!
