Brilliant macrame! Something I've always fancied doing. One can never have enough hanging plants :) I'm also nodding and smiling and thinking of the various craft kits I have littered about the place....

Did you enjoy that Against the Machine book? I used to follow his Substack then he cheesed me off and I don't like him now....but I always resonated with his thoughts on the Machine. Perhaps I need to set aside my prejudices (or pretend someone else wrote it) and give it a read.

Oh, and I loved your video! xo

I am slightly obsessed with Against The Machine. Of course, I share his Faith perspective to begin with, which helps. But because of the depth of the exploration of the topic, and the inevitable face off with AI, I would have to recommend that anyone read it, setting aside any personal grievance, or worldview disparity. It's extremely uncomfortable reading. I think even if you start in roughly the same camp as him, you've still got to ask yourself a lot of difficult questions.

I've then retreated into macramé and gardening, but the questions remain. Looking at me from behind the soap making supplies.
