In designing Hangeul, the Korean alphabet, King Sejong the Great of Korea (1397–1450) broke from thousands of years of tradition by purposefully creating an alphabet that was easy to learn, easy to read, and easy to write—and he defied the strict societal norms of his day by using his creation to help common citizens become literate.

“Tamara Anna Efrat poses that in a world saturated with industrialized objects, there is a longing for manual, personal work, which treasures within it a story, a point of view, and traces of a work process.”

The branching is on - yay! Grow, little plant, you can do it ✨

I like the Libby app (yay for borrowing ebooks from my local library!), but this is the kind of error message that causes my mom to call me in confusion.

I liked it when Grogu was just a funny kid drinking soup.

Rewatching bits of Dreams lately. This movie is something else. I watched it for the first time a number of years ago, and the visuals continue to stick with me.

The best thing about this campsite was that it had 2 large rocks that provided hours of entertainment.

I gotta say, it’s really impressive how many language options there are in Minecraft — there’s even kinda obscure constructed languages like Toki Pona . If anyone has worked on it, I’d love to hear how all that content is maintained.

Anyone have tips on how to set up a desk to minimize rando body aches? Standing desk isn't an option for me right now.
