“The mystery of the Fatima prophecies suffused his growing-up years, as it did for most Catholics in that era. It seemed a perfect match between a writer and a subject that has been beckoning in the shadows his entire life.”

Is My Site Too Simple?
As I venture out into the indieweb, I often ask myself, "Is my site too simple?"

No. Beside the reason provided by @bacardi55 here's another. I've just read two of your posts, explored your site a bit, and picked up a couple of possible ideas for my site.
I've also realised that I've taken the more complicated approach with my site, but that's because it works for me.
PS. Beyond answering your question, I wanted to experiment with your comments system. That's one "complication" I've yet to explore.
@djplaner @bacardi55 Thanks! Glad to hear that you found something of value in my posts!
As for the commenting, so far it is working well. I just have to publish twice. Basically,
1. Publish a post on my site to get the URL.
2. Creat a Mastodon post that includes a URL to my site post so I can get the Mastodon post ID.
3. Update my site post with the Mastodon ID and republish.
It's an extra step, but not much since I do not have to maintain anything extra and I already use Mastodon.

A1: Hello! I'm Matt, and one thing I created and then gave away is all the vector patterns I drew for my Rohirrim (Lord of the Rings) costumes. I feel like I did a pretty good job making clean patterns from the available reference material, and if my work can help someone get a head start on their own costume, all the better for the community. My ethos is that sharing is always better then hoarding. I have benefited from knowledge, reference photos, and patterns that others have offered for free, and if even just one cosplayer benefits from my patterns, it was worth it.

Les sourds n’ont pas attendu la langue des signes pour communiquer
La création de la langue des signes française est attribuée à l’abbé de l’Epée, au XVIIIe siècle. Pourtant, le théâtre antique et les enluminures médiévales inspiraient déjà les gestes des personnes sourdes, analyse l’historien Yann Cantin.Yann Cantin, historien (université Paris-8), spécialiste de l’histoire de la communauté sourde en France (Libération)
L'immagine è un dettaglio di un manoscritto illuminato, probabilmente del Medioevo, che raffigura un monaco intento a leggere un libro. Il monaco è vestito con una tunica nera e un velo, tipico dell'abbigliamento monastico dell'epoca. Sta seduto su un piumone, con la testa leggermente inclinata verso il libro, che è aperto sulle sue ginocchia. Il libro è decorato con caratteri gotici e presenta un'ampia pagina, suggerendo che potrebbe trattarsi di un testo sacro o di un'opera filosofica.
L'immagine è circondata da un elaborato bordo decorativo, con motivi floreali e geometrici in colori vivaci come il rosso, il blu e il verde. Questo bordo è tipico dell'arte illuminata, che si caratterizza per la sua ricchezza di dettagli e colori. In alto a destra, si intravede una parte del testo scritto in caratteri gotici, che potrebbe essere un inizio di parola o una frase.
L'immagine evoca un senso di quiete e dedizione, tipico della vita monastica, e rappresenta un momento di studio e riflessione.

Der Kater hat seine Augen geschlossen und scheint zu schlafen, während seine Pfoten sanft die Blüten berühren. Ein blauer Gartenschlauch liegt neben dem Stein. Die Szene ist in einem sonnigen, offenen Bereich, der von hohen Gräsern umgeben ist.

L'immagine è un meme a due fasi che illustra un esempio di psicologia inversa. Nella prima parte, un ragazzo con una camicia verde chiaro si rivolge a un uomo, presumibilmente suo padre, con un'espressione seria e un braccio incrociato. Il ragazzo dice: "Papà non ti supporto!" e l'uomo risponde con un'esclamazione: "!AIOLOGICO!".
Nella seconda parte, il ragazzo, con un'espressione più dolce, si avvicina all'uomo e dice: "Ti voglio bene, papà." L'uomo, con un'espressione più rilassata, sembra accettare la scusa. Il testo in basso recita: "PSICOLOGIA INVERSA: FUNZIONA SEMPRE." In alto a destra, c'è un logo che dice "Adoro il Cenno" con un cuore rosso.

There was a similar example #of ICE’s #RecklessEndangerment of #children a few days ago:
A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind.
“They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.”
