My goodness, when you start forgetting that you crocheted a life size “laser light sword” a long time ago ya know you have made a few pieces lol! 🤦🏽♂️🤪😂 What do ya think? 🤔🤔39 inches long if I remember right lol. 🤪 It actually has a piece of 3/4 inch capped off PVC pipe in the core, surrounded by fiber fill stuffing to make it fairly squishy. The fine details are hand embroidered and painted on. 🤔I know I have GOT to get better pics, it’s just a little difficult when your mannequin fights ya at every photo shoot lol! 😂 It's available in my online store if you are interested! 😎

For my 12th Poem of #NaPoWriMo/ #NaPoGenMo 2026 coded in #Python and then remixed , Symbolic Stanzas2 explores how we may read through symbols and their alternative forms.
What Occurs in your Mind
when you read these lines
Do words and feelings emerge?
Do thoughts and reason merge?
Unearth what has been submerged?

Are You the Carbon or the Pattern?
In this 55-minute podcast, we explore Douglas Hofstadter and Daniel Dennett’s The Mind’s I. We are moving beyond simple biology to ask the ultimate question: Are you the physical atoms (the Carbon), or are you the information moving through them (the Pattern)?
