Lovely 1950s illustration of a young woman in a tea dress, sipping a cool drink and holding a fan, relaxing in a striped hammock.

From Good Housekeeping's Summertime Cook Book, 1958. Illus. by the mysterious Lou Peters, whom I found out years later (after inquiring about them on my blog in 2007) that "Lou" was actually Luciana Peters. She passed away in 2021 at the bright young age of 102.

Did you know you can press f to kick Phenrig at the start of Dark Messiah? Neither did I, but I just did, and he almost fell over like a dumb idiot. I feel like this is a good sign for my warrior playthrough.

This is honestly my biggest issue with the newer Doom games. Compare the level design in 2016/Eternal to Doom 64. Or any of the custom maps made by Cacoaward winners. They're sooo much more engaging and interesting.

Cape Town writer people, please share.

This is a great way for new writers to learn how to get started, with a free workshop (do actions welcome).

Nerine is a good friend of mine and has a wealth of experience in the writing scene.

For those of you in Cape Town's far south peninsula, I'll be hosting a workshop for folks who want to get started on the writing journey. Please RSVP with The Farmhouse.

(Workshop is free, but donations made to our Farmhouse are welcome.)

My brain: I am going to take it easy at the gym because I know I'm out of shape, and I don't want to throw up.

My body: Good idea. I was almost NOT going to feel like throwing up. However! It seems like you had one(1) piece of toast half an hour ago. Therefore...

Lmao, they have very strong personalities.
And sometimes that personality is "I am a bastard."
My childhood pet rabbit once beat up one of the neighbor's cats. Which is probably not how nature intended for that encounter to go.

My current major drawing hurdle: In real life, everything has edges. When is it okay for a thing to be flat, and when do I need to draw in the bevels?
I think Im overdoing it now, and it's taking forever.
I should probably just focus on "would it be visible at this distance?".

Photograph of some of the twenty thousand women from the march in the amphitheatre of the Union Buildings, seat of the apartheid government, in Pretoria (then in the Transvaal province; now in Gauteng; the city still serves as the capital of post-apartheid South Africa, and is now part of a larger local government administrative entity called Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality). The march had been organised by the Federation of South African Women (FEDSAW).

The march had been organised by the Federation of South African Women (FEDSAW).

The women's gathering in the amphitheatre of the Union Buildings on 9 August 1956, with government offices visible behind the pillars, and white apartheid civil servants and officials looking on from the walkway behind the balustrades. The Union Buildings, constructed between 1911 and 1913, designed by British colonial architect Herbert Baker (who also designed State House in Nairobi, and several notable government buildings in New Delhi), became the seat of the unified white supremacist colonial government established in 1910 between the four colonialist white supremacist settlements (the Boer republics of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek and the Oranje Vrijstaat; and the British Cape and Natal colonies), in the city named after the first president of the white supremacist republic established by the descendants of Dutch settlers and other European colonists established in 1852. In 1948 it became the seat of the apartheid government, and in 1994 the seat of the post-apartheid democratic government. The amphitheatre is also the space in which Nelson Mandela took the oath of office to become the first president of a democratic Republic of South Africa.

The march was led into the amphitheatre of the Union Buildings by a smaller group of women who handed the petition of demands and objections to the white supremacist apartheid prime minister of what was still a British colony (South Africa only became a republic independent of Britain on 31 May 1961); some of this smaller group pictured here includes Lillian Ngoyi, Sophia Williams-de Bruyn, Rahima Moosa, and Helen Joseph. Other women involved in leadership and organisation included Ruth Mompati, Fatima Meer (one of Mandela's earliest biographers who was imprisoned with Winnie Mandela in the prison complex whicb became post-apartheid South Africa's apex court, the Constitutional Court in Johannesburg), Albertina Sisulu, Frances Baard, Annie Peters, Nosipho Dastile, Flotence Mkhize, and the trade unionist Rita Ndzanga.

On 9 August 1956, twenty thousand women marched to the Union Buildings, the seat of the apartheid government, to protest laws forcing Black women to carry identity documents ("passes").

Having actual goals/projects to work towards for a change is actually really energising, but I still feel like my progress is too slow.
I can recognise that my capacity to handle workloads has improved drastically, but also it's unfair that I can't do 10hrs of work per second for 12 hrs straight >:/
