If anyone wants to make a Half-square Hilbert I made a toy to play with patterns. (fixed a bug from the first go)
I need fabric - so I plan to start maybe later this week.

I am 22 shows in to the comedy festival and I have been very happy with them all, they are not all the same style but they have all been excellent.
In Mish Wittrup's show tonight I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. In general I do not recommend things, but this is an exception.
Their run ends this weekend but there are two extra shows added for next week that you should go to.
Pink Gin Sour: A beautiful fusion of our vibrant Pink Gin, fresh citrus, and a velvety egg white foam. Inspired by the classic sour formula, this cocktail highlights the fruity notes of our Tasmanian berries, lending it a blushing hue that’s as enticing to look at as it is to sip.

The U.S. learned this from the AI-driven guns Israel builds on the walls of the open-air prisons they run surrounding Gaza and the West Bank. It would be entirely unsurprising to hear it's likely the very same technology, seeing how much military interchange there is between both of the fascist states.

SniffiVerse™ walkies Toot 
Ello frens and fans of Arwen 
We're out again, and Arwen is taking the sniffing very seriously. I've had to push her forward a few times now, as I was getting cold with just standing still for a while. It's dry, it's been dry too long now, but hey, it's nice when it's not raining during walkies. But it's only 4°C, with a real feel of about 2 degrees. So it's not that warm to stand still...
I rode the seated bike for half an hour. One massage chair was taken, so I decided to just get ready to head home. Of course, when I was getting up to leave, the person left the chair... Ugh, just my luck...
I enjoyed brekky and now I'm telling Arwen that a sniff is good, but she doesn't have to inhale everything 😂. The night isn't long enough to do all of that! 😇
I shared my plans in the gym Toot, to I guess I'll now try to write a bit for my blog. 😊 I hope you're having a good time! #TZAG 
catch you later folks!

The image shows a close-up view of the Moon, captured during its waxing gibbous phase. The Moon is prominently displayed in the center of the frame, with a significant portion illuminated by sunlight, revealing its cratered surface. The right side of the Moon is brightly lit, while the left side is in shadow, creating a distinct contrast. The surface features various shades of gray, with darker areas representing craters and lighter areas indicating highlands. The text in the bottom right corner reads "Waxing 🌙 gibbous 69.3% 07/04/2025 1:52," indicating the phase, percentage of illumination, date, and time of the observation. The background is a deep black, emphasizing the Moon's details. The image has a textured border, adding a visual frame to the photograph.

#SurrealThursday: Asemic Tarot Reading
Considering all the upheaval and uncertainty generated by Trump Tariffs, I decided to do an Asemic Tarot Reading using random number choices and a five card spread. Using a random number generator, the first number was 55.
My only requirement for the next four numbers must have included 3 because it is April 3rd. The numbers that popped up were: 31 83 32 30
