@joaopinheiro I will do my best! I have only had them for 2 weeks and started at the very bottom rung, the Platinum Preppy! Thanks for the advice.

@freemo Oh. Weird. Not sure if I like that! It is a little special though. Thanks for the pics.

Imagine a piece of tissue paper.

Coat it with cyanotype chemicals.

Fold it into an origami crane.

Let it be a crane for a while, in any place with a bit of light. Ignore it, play with it, whatever.

After a while, unfold it. Develop.

You'll get an image.

The image is the memory of it's experience as an origami crane.

Repeat. Every crane's experience - and hence every image - will be unique.

Here's 4 out of the >750 I've made so far.

@freemo Slow down! I only bought fountain pens 2 weeks ago! Haha. I don't even know what sheen is... Such a noob. It took me trawling many blogs and sites to pick these three and then I had "Should I have bought Noodler's?" regret... And as far as calligraphy goes, I just want to do all my school work with them, my handwriting is sad. I did notice your math proofs well well inked!

My ink arrived! Now I just have to use up the ink in the cartridges so I can then start using the converters in my fountain pens.

Dear Jim,
Please paint me Jimi Hendrix explaining to an owl on his shoulder what a stick of chalk is, near a forest.

Not that I mind either way, but there seems to be more cat related content than dog related content. I'd be keen for insect and reptile content myself.

@kristinHenry Thanks for this. I was wondering what the best practice was.

"Try reading the following out loud:

Hashtag screenreaders for the hashtag blind and hashtag VisuallyImpaired read every hashtag HashTags out loud and so it's hard for people with hashtag VisualImpairment to get the sense of the post because it's being constantly interrupted by well-meaning hashtag accessibility hashtag allies.

Easier to read with a block of hashtags at the bottom:
#screenreaders #VisuallyImpaired #blind #allies #Hashtags #accessibility"

This tweet is why, in my heart, I want Twitter to live on 🖤🖤

RT @fireh9lly@twitter.com

Twitter's dying, it's time for some real content.

So I came in to to living room to find Dad watching Only Fools and Horses with the sound off and pausing it at random frames.

"I was trying to work out what records he's selling in his stall."

So we worked them out together

Dear Jim,
Please paint me Pinhead from Hellraiser getting flustered while on Celebrity Masterchef.

Jeez, how did this page ever get going?

Watching and I remember those ads on Aussie TV! Rad 90s music soundtrack too.

People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!

@freemo Not sure if it is or but life is sometimes hard on my mobile too... Flagged as malware again.

@freemo @mathlover @Romaq I have had my Nord threat protection go off and block qoto too. Said it was malicious and had to allow it to load in the settings.
