Nice!! Love that style!

I took a copper-foil stained glass beginners course and turned out a pretty nice 1st attempt. Very excited to see what else i can do... Just in the process of gathering the needed tools and materials to start making some pieces in my own little shop...

I've been getting into stained glass lately. The textures and the various "dichroic" styles and swirly colorful patterns on some of them are absolutely amazing. I'm really lucky to live near a giant place that deals specifically in stained glass and it's a treat for the eyes just to look at all the beautiful glass they have there.

Consequences?! For a conservative politician?! It was a surprise to see him get anything at all, honestly. Nice to see them kinda sorta try at least, far better than i can say for us here in the US

This is what I've been thinking about. What do they do with people that intentionally avoid social media? Is it simply presumed they're hiding something? To that end, would it make sense to run a 'fake' social media account where they just post and share the most politically neutral/milquetoast memes and commentary just so there's something in their history? I have always disliked the idea that one simply has to interact with social media or else be labeled an outcast/weirdo/suspicious person.

It feels like it comes from the same school of thought that the Internet and/or computers need to be used for everything...i don't like the way society continues moving away from "real" methods of paying bills and handling important personal affairs by replacing the old ways with "better" online alternatives. There are definitely benefits to both approaches, i just don't like when a "paper option" gets eliminated entirely in favor of electronic.

Just having a senior moment over here, please forgive my rambling 👴
