I recently "downgraded" from my workhorse iMac to an older Macbook Air, and I already love how much better it fits my workflow. Plus I'm now solidly off the update / upgrade hamster wheel, so that's a relief!
It's one of my first planned shifts toward being more mobile and less energy-consuming in the long haul. One step closer to my off-grid, permacomputing dreams!
I got my first laptop the other day, and spent ages trying to figure out the key combination to make it sleep.
Y'all, I'm a dumbass. 😂

It's so funny to me that on Twitter I have to tap a sign every couple weeks that says "My art is not for fascists, racists, transphobes, SWERFs, ableists, capitalists, crypto / NFT weirdos, or anyone sympathizing with them" and block folks en masse.
Over here, I just casually mention I'm an anarchist every now and then, and the folks interacting with me tend to filter themselves. It's great.
INPRNT has free shipping this weekend, so if you wanted a print from me but the shipping was too high — now's your chance!
Thanks for indulging me a new pinned post so soon after the previous! 😅

I documented some of my recent experiments in reverse-engineering the Print Gocco, a Japanese DIY printmaking tool from the 1970s. You can read about it here: https://www.nobadmemories.com/blog/2022/05/printmaking-as-play/ #theWorkshop
I'm working on a black metal logo for a client, and I can't show y'all yet, but it's sick as hell. 😈
We're touring a couple new living situations tomorrow, so wish us luck! 🕯
A long shot, but:
Any folks I know have a little cabin or something out on the Olympic Peninsula? My partner and I are are trying to get out there, and it's proving difficult!
I also have color schemes for future places picked out, so I guess it's not too weird.
I'm personally a monochrome void, but my nesting partner is a walking rainbow, so you can imagine the funny compromises we come to on our living aesthetic.
Is it silly to already have a name for your hypothetical boat? I honestly see myself as more of a "cabin in the woods" person, but it's nice to have a boat name just in case.
