"Anybody who ever lighted a fire without matches has probably gained some proper respect for "low" or "primitive" or "simple" technologies"

It's true. I remember building my first bow-drill and spinning up an ember to blow to flame in a nest of tinder. And the bow, spindle, fireboard, handhold, and tinder bundle all need to be designed just so. Making fire *IS NO SMALL THING*!

aw, people said hi back. this warms my heart 💜

Good morning friends ☀️

Morning voice practice went well ^____^

Learned a *lot* about pitch. Blows my mind that successive piano notes are "just" 49 Hz multiplied by the twelfth root of 2 raised to the power of N, where N is the Nth note after the first pitch.

Studied some voice actors I really like, also. Very bummed that some of the voices I really love are outside of my pitch range for chest voice. I think I had this assumption that my voice could theoretically do whatever other humans' voices could do.

*But*! I found a voice actor whose pitch is within my range, and I'm super duper excited to study their voice more!

The mountains are looking mysterious this morning.

Yay, I wrote an article. ^___^

It's about how I've been doing simul-casting media with friends. 📺

It doesn't seem to be open source though, which is a bummer.

If you want to simulcast a video with friends, https://potato.land is a handy little web app.

I adore this poem -- it's been a bit of a guiding light 🌟 for me. It's been pinned to my browser tabs for weeks, and when I feel down I pick a stanza to read.
