While in Japan, I would stare longingly at styles I knew would never be sold off-the-rack in my size, wondering if it was time to get serious about sewing.
Then Joann’s announced their bankruptcy, so everything’s on sale.
Now I know how I’ll be preserving mental health during the fall of democracy

Japan is far from perfect, but I keep finding myself shocked by what a difference it makes for a country to embrace conservation, humane technologies, &c.
For example, here’s a straw that’s both compostable *and* doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall apart in my mouth. Incredible.

Here’s my pile of technical books in my “to read” pile.
Most are volumes that have been around a while but I never got around to reading. Speaking of which, I can’t say enough good things about The Mythical Man Month, which contains *so* many lessons our industry keeps relearning
