I should also add that said shirt is now 19 years old!

Not saying this simply to flatter @zigzackly.bsky.social, as our very first @globalvoices.org Summit t-shirt was manufactured in his home country (where the Summit was also held), but in my view we've never had a Summit shirt of better quality.

The fact that I believe I could never bring myself to inflict a single song on viewing audiences just because I paid for it, is probably directly related to the fact that I don't have $35k to blow on such an initiative.

I love legal pads for their cheapness, decent-quality paper and even their yellowness, but hate that the pages are designed to be written on on only one side. Enter the notebook made from legal pad sheets! A bit over-engineered for the purpose of scrappy note-taking, but #bookbinding makes me happy.

Thank you, Subha! One of the many satisfying things about #bookbinding is that with a bit of care and patience, even an amateur like me can achieve fairly good results.

Thank you, Emma--and the same to you and yours!
