Austin Kleon writes about his desire to be a pirate-gardener,
I’d like to stay happily at home, in the studio, planting my seeds and cultivating my garden, and when I get bored, like Ishmael, and “I find myself growing grim about the mouth,” then it’s time to take to the seas and do some pirating, steal a few seeds from foreign lands to bring back to my own garden, where I’ll stay happily until I get bored again.
I think the gardening affords you the opportunity to pirate.

I’m working on developing a new academia aesthetic, it’s kind of a sff academia. Inspired by the Mythic Quest episode “Backstory,” still need to work out how to express the cool bits while acknowledging the seriously bad stuff in sff history.
I love when I have a call with my doctor and I say “I think I should do this” and she says “I agree.”
🧵 I made napkins today and I learned a lot! I’ll write about it soon.
I’m about to start using Noter Live to live-tweet #MIRAULV2021. Conferring on the couch next to my kid who is binge-watching Number Blocks on Netflix. Remote conferences have both pros AND cons!
