Spent a little time dancing and watching music videos last night after a friend pitched the idea that we have a music vid sharing party sometime in the future. I have no choice but to admit that life is worth living.

Also Sunday, in Evanston. Bystanders interrupted the attack, rendered aid, and called emergency services. ICE drove off leaving the man bleeding and injured in the street. They tossed his wallet onto the ground. A US citizen. He reportedly refused to give them id, his right under IL law.

On a whim, I looked up the author of my beloved childhood pop-up book that took place in a colorful haunted house. I bought a copy of the book a couple years ago after finally figuring out the name of it from patchwork childhood memories. The author is Jan Pienkowski.

part of the project has involved a series of cyanotypes on wood and paper; this was quite hard to do, but I'm delighted by the results. the paper ones are for sale: recordsofenemysurveillance.com/physical

God, I miss the horchata they served at the now-defunct Mexican restaurant in my hometown. They served it in a thick margarita-like glass with bits of walnut and slices of strawberry in it. Maybe I’ll make a zine of the best foods I’ve ever had.

Oop I forgot to post my latest book class book! It was my first time using chipboard for a book and my first attempt at Coptic binding!

My hand holding a small lime green book with a window cut out of the front cover, revealing off white paper inside. There are five stitches running through the front cover.

An inside view of the front cover of the book. The endpaper is vintage wrapping paper with illustrated yellow daffodils, a white goose, and green grass on it. The first page has some decorative red pattern near the spine reminiscent of a DNA double helix pattern

The back of the book with the same endpaper and red decorative spine thing. More geese are depicted on the endpaper.

I absolutely NEED to call the next new psych to try to establish myself as a patient and get ADHD meds again. I’m very grateful that my new GP bridged my SSRI but she couldn’t bridge any controlled substances. I feel like I can’t focus for any about of time most days.

Just met my new GP and I actually like her! What a huge relief. Shes bridging some of my psych meds, too, and referring me elsewhere for my long term med management. This is such a huge win, y’all. It’s been brutal and this feels like the light at the end of the tunnel.

I’ve been taking an intro bookmaking class and my head is full of possibilities. I’ve gotten some cool, old classroom and office supply paper from my local creative reuse and I’d love to make it into some notebooks or junk journals. We did japanese stab binding last class!

Two small hand bound books. One has black paper with gold foil spiders and plants for the cover and the other has a purple metallic paper. Both are bound with emerald green thread.

I'm supposed to be cleaning right now, so naturally I drew this picture of how a coffee machine works instead :) #sciart #engineering #industrialdesign #productdesign

An illustration of how a coffee machine works! Water goes into the reservoir in the back, and flows into a tube around the bottom of the machine. The tube passes through the heating element, which both heats the water and the coffee carafe. The heated water becomes vapour, a mix of both liquid and gas. The hot vapour rises through the tube and passes a bubble valve, which lifts to allow rising water but lowers if water tries to backflow, ensuring water is forced up towards the grounds. A sprayer ensures the hot water is evenly dispersed over the grounds, which leach their delicious flavour into the water. The water then pours into the carafe, and you're left with a hot pot of fresh bean juice.

I am once again struck by how good a shower feels after a long day. We went for a walk at 6 am after inexplicably waking at 5:30! After a brief period of feeling sluggish, it actually felt incredible to be out when it wasn’t super hot and sunny.

There are over 18,000 types of lichen in existence. My personal favourite is ‘village bench lichen’, which devotes its entire existence selflessly to gradually making communal public seating more furry and comfortable.
