My friend Ali recently wrote a beautiful — and heartbreaking — post titled Middle Easterners are numb. We exchanged emails, as we do sometimes, discussing our mutual experience. A few days have passed, and now that Israel have started bombing Iran, my argumentation looks more hypocritical than before. As a Middle Easterner, you get used to certain things in the region, and one of them is war. We’re born with …

The problem isn’t you—it’s the way this stuff is usually …

A cover of the song Sommarfågel by Wintergatan, performed on a selection of my homemade 8-bit and 16-bit instruments.

A personal philosophy In order to be a modeller of railways there needs to be a model railway. It doesn't matter if it is a loft or an Ikea box, there has to be a railway, otherwise we are mere collectors of things in boxes.Occasionally, a thought begins to become a concern, why build a model railway and why choose a particular subject?

[UPDATE: the carved box is SOLD. If anybody else wants one, send an email & I’ll put you on a list…] a follow-up to my previous post here. A friend of Drew’s Langsner’s (& mine) was able to get over to NJ and collect those two chairs of his that were for sale. I was glad for the outcome – nice to know the chairs got saved. I finished up …

In 2020 I summarised the then published research on puberty blockers in a blog. That blog post remains a comprehensive overview of the pre 2020 literature, with relevance to discussions today. There has been a significant body of research on puberty blockers published since that 2020 blog, that I will summarise and keep updated here. I’ve been meaning to update that blog, 4 years later. I was given encouragement by …

Did you ever notice those social media share images that automatically pop up for a site and think to yourself, "wow, it would be really cool if I could get that set up for my blog"? In this post, I will show you how I use 11ty shortcodes and Cloudinary to …

Posted on October 24, 2024 Tags: madeof:atoms, madeof:bits, craft:zine I have no idea either. Happy Maladay1 to those who celebrate it, I guess. If you care about the how, it started as china ink on tracing paper, with the help of a template (and a correction sheet for one page where I used the wrong line on the template). A rubber stamp was carved with the author’s signature and stamped …
