This is a fascinating analysis on the gradual development of medieval thought focusing on particular on the rise of the ascending theory of governance and how mediaeval thought far from being fossilised and an antiquarian provides the genetic link modern notions of democracy and civic rights.

If I ever feel bad about my art I just look at stuff like this. Not because it's bad, but because it's gorgeous for all its logical flaws.

Mohammed's first child is Gaza's future: help make him healthy, clever and strong.

I'm Marguerite, a good friend of Mohammed, who is/was a teacher in Gaza. School stopped on October 8, 2023 and so did the lives of many of his students. His dream was to restart a school, in a tent, but this isn't possible yet, so his life has been devoted to the survival of his mother, sisters, new wife and soon to be born son.

Question on #copyright I intend to publish a public domain book, Myths and Legends of the Bantu. I think it's an important documentation of our cultures, but it has problematic and racist content. So my goal is to strip it of racism, fix some factual errors, etc. I can't claim authorship, original author has moral rights to that. I'll only claim editorship. But 1) Can I legally register a copyright to this edition? 2) Is this whitewashing the author of her racism?

From start to finish, how much time elapses in your current WIP?

I'm only halfway through the draft so not all sure, but probably about 3 days in the end, depending on how many times I let the characters stop and rest for the night.

Un essai avec une version simple de box pleating, une technique de design honnĂȘtement un peu chiante car rĂ©pĂ©titive qui m’intĂ©resse pas du tout (mais ca permet de faire des choses splendides pour les courageuses). Ce modele est assez simple, grille de 16*3 seulement, et le rendu avec peu de dĂ©tails reste tres Ă©lĂ©gant et poĂ©tique
