Beautiful #dream last night. I was lost, floating in a calm ocean, no land in sight. A dolphin - one of my spirit animals - came to save me.
It floated underneath, nudging me onto my stomach, pointing me to the right, hovering its fin beneath my hands. I wrapped my hands around the fin - slippery, hard to hold.
That is all. It felt like I was eventually rescued. I woke up, told myself: "Remember this, it's important." Interpretations welcome!

"Liberate" teableau for 02/22/25
Leopards & grapes are symbols of Dionysus, who for 2600+ years has represented Nature, inspiration, the arts, gathering, joy, mobility, the foreigner, abundance, & curing disease~ which are all being stolen away.
He also represents LIBERATION.
And even resurrection.
Reminder: I am offering my services as a developmental editor to all those who are willing. My services will set you back $1 for every 400 words (that's $250 for 100k) and will cover theming, plot development, world development, symbolism, and characterisation. I'll also cover special requests, btw
Took some pics yesterday of my small Lovers Communication System keyboard prototype.
It will help me to explore how to type with a corpus of 800 combination glyphs. I have many other ideas but you have to start somewhere 
The sign of how much abstraction is in everyday life is that "stylized drawing of a human" means "place to pee and poo".

"…does #traditionalknowledge apart of all #magic, handed down by generations, still function? In our region some #rituals & #symbols of that day don’t work anymore because of climate change.
In the past, rituals and festive days provided support. A seasonal calendar promised a future because every autumn was followed by winter and then spring."
Thank you @NatureMC for your post on magic.

Ancient Origins of Writing Traced to Mysterious 6,000-Year-Old Symbols

A symbol for the ⁂ Fediverse here:
That's why you see the ⁂ sign in my profile description. This is not a naive or even clumsy attempt to be something special using ASCII art ;-)
You don't have to laboriously search for and type out the ⁂. On their website you can easily enter it anywhere using copy and paste in any font: ⁂ ≠ 𝕏
I will document everything when I have digested it and share it on the website dedicated to LoCos launched last month.
But first, I still have a lot to do on this website, as many things need to be polished in terms of content and functionalities...
I just wanted to share some bites with you here.
Oh, and I have many other things to share about my trip stay tuned

We have also talked about digitalization, as I understand now how he has constructed all LoCoS shapes and how I should improve mine. He still has a sharp mind and a good eye.
He grew up in a kimono shop owned by his family and was surrounded by Japanese family Crest design. He still owns catalogs, this one has a hundred years old I think.

He invited me to his apartment full of documentation about language systems, pictogram design, and his research on LoCoS when he was working on one of the first courses in the world on pictogram design at Zokei University around 1966. I had to buy a portable scanner to scan his postcard sized archives full of drawings for my own research and only had the time to scan a drop in the ocean.

I had the chance to exchange with him on multiple occasions during this month, listen to his life, and explore his archives together. He was really kind and humble about his career and was always eager to make me discover new things as he did during all his personal life and with his students, even with his current health issues.

I haven't taken the time yet to talk about it, but I was in Japan 
last month and just came back few days ago!
It was not really planned, but following the Symbol Group Conference, where I presented my work on The Lovers Communication System's ongoing digitalization, the genius designer behind it Yukio Ota opened me his door and I couldn't miss the chance of meeting him.

Ok, this is very useful. I need to save that locally. I know the ones I use, but there are a bunch more useful ones.
