I probably won't manage to make anything new for #goblinWeek this year but I will take the opportunity to share the collage poem I made last year, since it is still one of my favorite things I've made

#collage #poem

Collaged text on lined paper which reads: goblin time It's time to talk about goblins. You know, a little wild, a little green, kind of like Muppets? Well, they need your help. Goblins in our community are suffering, exhausted by the internet, and want to snuggle in for their holiday hibernation. Your support is crucial in helping provide them with year-round access to their daily needs: Cuppa joe weird radish Waffle a cedarwood candle Please donate today. All gifts are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. $15 can help feed and vaccinate a goblin $25 can purchase them a cozy flannel nightie $50 can help them receive a lot of weird new bugs Any amount helps! Wrap a bit of cash in brown paper and place it in ANY garden on a crisp morning... we'll find it.

New #collage #poem, about climate change and planting seeds.

This is the second poem I've made by collaging together bits of text from an old econ workbook. (I'm planning to put them all together in a zine when I've completed a few more.)

The first poem, A Bad Dream, can be found here: https://emmajuettner.com/posts/a-bad-dream/

Collaged text on lined notebook paper reads: The Logic of Individual Choice. Suppose you are a novice gardener. The television reports pictures of melting ice and flooded areas. Warm weather arrives and Southern California experiences unusually high temperatures. A small city located by a lake has been dumping its raw sewage into the lake. You plant one seed in a flower pot and watch it grow. Your friend says, "Why are you wasting your time? You can't provide the world's supply of wheat berries in your little pot." You cannot produce 100 tons of wheat per day. However, you do produce a stalk of wheat with plump wheat berries. If the weather gets very hot, what will most likely happen? In the long run, what will happen? The next year, you plant two seeds in that pot.

New #introduction now that I've set up my own server— hello, I'm Emma! (previously @emmajuettner@mastodon.art; I'll be migrating my follows over to this new account shortly)

I tend to post about knitting, making collage poems, cooking, creating generative art, mending clothing, tinkering with HTML & CSS, and reading sci-fi stories.

new hobby: adding action lines to my cat pictures

A close-up of a black cat head looking goofy over a hammock. With action lines!

A somewhat blurry picture of a tabby cat looking over a coffee table with snacks. The cat seems to be wanting some snacks too. Only the upper part of his face is visible. Anime-style action lines are drawn all around the picture

Two cats standing on a wall hammock, looking straight at the camera. They look very serious and threatening, especially with the action lines drawn all around the picture.

A lovely blog post from Mike Cook about the design wrinkles of making a Downpour game. Mainly the thing about making a non-linear document of a personal, and necessarily linear, experience.

This month’s stitch patterns designed from a word suggested on my Patreon are based on the word Cedar (for the birders out there, I’m told it was inspired by Cedar Waxwings).

Computer art in coral and muted yellow showing how the Cedar charted design might look as stranded knitting. Geometric four-petaled flowers are surrounded by shapes like leaves in almost-diamonds. They are in alternation from row to row.

Knitted sample of Cedar lace in yellow yarn making a complex lacy zigzag with six-petaled flower shapes and arches joining them, alternating with horizontal dashed lines.

I think the #xz incident is teaching us that our infrastructure is dangerously fragile in the face of well-organized/funded attackers. The response isn’t “try harder” or “donate to your OSS project”, it needs to be institutional, professional, and at scale.

So, here’s my proposal, called “OSQI”, aimed at starting a how-to discussion: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2024/04/01/OSQI

Happy April Cools! A few people and I decided lying for April 1st is cliché, so we're surprising you with truthful essays on unexpected topics.

Mine is about the hardest hardware problem I've ever had to debug:
