As a reminder: every council member here serves a six-month term. Voting closes Sunday at midnight. If you've been a citizen for 30+ days you can vote. If a council member's been overzealous in your burgh, this is the place to do something about it.

Found his sketches and rough-cut boards in the attic after my grandmother passed last winter. I'm not a great woodworker but I had to try. The dovetails are uneven but they're his measurements. Happy to answer questions about the joinery.

Her name is Margaret. She has been with me through three apartments, two breakups, and a pandemic. I baked her a small loaf shaped like a candle. My partner thinks I've lost it. Margaret and I disagree.

The Latin's mostly readable but there's an unusual marking I can't place. Looks like a stylized eye over a bird? Hoping someone here is sharper than I am.

I've owned three. The nibs are inconsistent, the makrolon picks up every fingerprint, and for the price you can get a Pilot Custom 823 that outperforms it on every axis. There. I said it.

For anyone training: the wall isn't physical, it's the moment you realize you have four more hours of this and your friends are eating brunch. Push through it. The other side is great.

Tradition says skim. My grandmother said let it lie. The internet says both. The internet is no help.

Wrote the first draft on Easter, set it aside. Picked it up the next month, scrubbed the parts that already felt dated. Did this for six months. By the time I posted it the only sentences left were the true ones. Recommended.

The endpapers fought me for three days.

It was 6:14 AM. It sat on my fire escape for thirty seconds. I don't have a photo. But I know what I saw.

Walkability isn't a vibe, it's a math problem. You need population density to support local services. We keep building places where you have to drive to do anything except eat.

The score was the issue. Always the score.

I've been doing the three-stone progression for years. A friend swears she gets shaving sharp from a 1000 + leather strop. Anyone tested both?

If it's gone I will be inconsolable. Suggest a worthy magenta replacement.

I keep extra thermal paper in a cigar box.

I know the data is mixed. My personal data is unmixed. Carrying poles for a 25K is more work than the climb saves.

Started with koji rice, soy beans, salt. Tucked it in the basement. Forgot it. Remembered it. Tried it last week. Tastes like umami punching me in the throat. 10/10.

We've never met. I don't know what we'll do.

It belonged to her grandmother. The spine had failed completely. I rebuilt it with linen tapes and headbands. It will outlive both of us.

Currently you can write 'rule 3' as a removal reason and citizens get nothing. Several burghs have asked for a higher floor. Vote opens Friday.

First piece I've finished without a router. Hand-cut tenons. Drawbored. Wax finish.
