Been feeling angry about *gestures broadly at America* so I lit the forge over the weekend and attempted my first damascus. It mostly worked!
Get out of a funk by getting up and doing something. Go create, go read, go interact with people, go do something fun! Anger is important now, but so is joy.

The best thing to do right now to stay sane during the absolute fucking horror happening is to take a moment, recognize the spiral as it happens, step away for a little while, and go create something.

Happy love-day to all who celebrate. I made my wife a rose! Learned a few things for the next one, too.

One of my favorite parts of the blademaking process is finishing the handles. I love how much richer they look after proper treatment!

Cut it a little close to the holiday but I finally finished my wife's present! It was super interesting to figure out.

Starve them of attention
There are very few far right accounts on BlueSky.
So if you block the likes of Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Laurence Fox, GB News etc. as soon as they show up, they'll find it very hard to gain traction.

I wish my dogs could understand me so I could tell them how precious and perfect they are and how much I love them. And also to explain that they should probably stop stealing toys from the blind one.
