Cruel choices #137: you must consume one - and only one - of the following pieces of media.

1. Sailor Moon retold in the style of a 19th Century Russian philosophical novel.

2. The Brothers Karamazov retold in the style of a magical girl anime.

its really really fucked up that people in the global north think? assume? are told? that the ozone hole closed & went away forever & isnt a problem anymore

the ozone hole closes and opens every year and at no point has it stopped. 2020 was one of the worst years on record for both size and length of opening. there has been a trend downwards over the last decade, but the ozone hole absolutely didnt stop being a problem. aotearoa and australia have the world's worst rates of skin cancer. (australia's number is higher overall, but aotearoa is higher per capita.)

i dont really have any kind of moral to this post just please be aware that the ozone hole is very much still a problem and not something you can put in the 'solved' basket. it still massively affects the lives of people in the far south and the idea that it's permanently closed is false.

(please do not ask me any followup questions i am not some kind of scientician im just a guy who got sunburned through jeans one time on a long car trip)

Been lazily putting this off. Got stuck because I ran out of black dye. Hopefully I’ll be done stitching it this week and I can move on to edge finishing. I’ve got another container of black dye... somewhere. Hopefully...

This beast has taken 4 days from conception to completion. Finished up the basket weave for the back cover today.

What’s left: Stain/dying, finishing, gluing supports, cutting leather for inside of notebook, stitching, molding, edging, finishing...
