this took way too long to render just for an effect that kinda barely worked...

along with yet another sword(! but aside from the replacement still pending on the defective one, this is the last one i'll be getting for the foreseeable future...), i got a dagger that matches my first one, plus a full-length hooded wool (+linen/cotton lining) cloak (just in time for spring! π)
got some quick pics of the dagger last night by the light of the lettuce garden, i'll try to take some of the sword soon, while the cloak can't be washed and must quarantine for a while...
ok so i might have a problem, but... i got another sword. π
this time a jian, and, as my first actually sharp and wieldy sword, it's the first i've actually tried cutting with, on one of the milk jugs i've been saving up for such... which i think must be too easy of a target! because... aside from one grazing miss before the last cut, every other attempt split it clean and easy, haha.
it was fun, though! i gotta sharpen the first one and see how it does.
this seller looked dubious, but it was a realistically good deal, and i figured i could file a claim for my money back if i didn't get it, so i tried anyway... well, then the listing and seller got deleted, so i figured i was gonna have to file, just after waiting a bit to make sure nothing was coming...
but then i got a notification with a tracking number for it, coming tomorrow! i wonder if it's really what i ordered? so i get this amusing set of notices on my ebay page:
from the maker of "yes, there is no banana"* comes "wait, there are no windows either" (under construction edition)

pardon my piloting on a trip through the bunnyhop anomaly [wip render]
it's also an infinite rabbit-hole! (it seamlessly loops if you enable looping on it)

i try to keep my identity small so it takes up less space and stays out of my way.
i don't believe in belief and don't know anything but my own experience, but i've scrutinized enough of a lot of things to tell they're often upside down and backward and say so.
i love the infinite variety of human potential. i often feel strong desires to upend and destroy the dysfunctional institutions and toxic memeplexes that oppress/suppress/repress/depress us. but i'd prefer if we could all just express us.
