I just spent the last 24 hours building... a free tool to create your very own handwriting font quickly within the browser (no logins, all local processing):

Having tested it extensively on my own manuscript, I can definitely say that it works. ;) Download the OTF and/or TTF when done!
Twenty five years ago this month I was diagnosed with cancer. First of all I just want to say, look at me, still here. I'm pretty happy about that.
But twenty five years ago, for a year my and my family's life revolved around surgery, chemo and radiation. And then the best part of a decade of medications with with their 'tolerated' side effects. And still the sneaky little blighter tried to stage a comeback a few years in, but we evicted it.
Twenty five years is a while, so my medical experiences are not current but there are a few things I learnt in that year and the ones after and I'd like to say them out loud -
Cancer did not make me a better person. It did not make me re-evaluate my life and see the world in a new perspective. It might for some people, but it just made me tired and grumpy. And intolerant of people's bullshit.
It was not a blessing in disguise. Having people tell me there had to be a silver lining or that everything happens for a reason was not helpful.
Everyone has their own approach. Mine was evidenced based western medicine. Random strangers (no friends, I'm glad to say), telling me I was poisoning myself was not helpful. I was poisoning *it*, the side effects on me were necessary collateral damage
The most important thing my friends did for me was to be normal. Doing stuff we usually did - grabbing a coffee, going out for a meal, seeing a movie. I was thinking about cancer every waking minute, respite from that was what I needed
The other day someone reminded me I told them this - One of the women in my support group talked about how hard it was not to cry in front of her kids. The facilitator asked, what message are you sending to your kids if, when something this bad happens, it's not okay to cry? This is one of the most important things I've ever learnt. Hiding your feeling doesn't let people in and it's not a viable strategy for longer than half a second. 1/2

Q: Hey, we got two spare Vespa motors, a bunch of old tires, bamboo sticks, and a couple of monkeys. Whatchu wanna do with them?

Update: AP is still up with video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FIMnPfFHHw
Reuters bends knee to China dictatorship and removes video of Xi and Putin talking about changing out body parts.
Presumably lots of people have copies, so it's important for them to post them promiscuously -- and if possible anonymously -- to boost Streisand effect.
