I had an idea for a style of poetry that is (hopefully) kind of unique to Shavian. Since so many of the letters become other letters when rotated, you just keep matching a word with its rotated pair in each line. And, since there's usually a phonetic relationship between the those letters, it kind of sounds "right" somehow too.

I'm transliterating one of Chuck Tingle's books into Shavian.

Decided to take a break halfway through the second chapter to do the cover. There doesn't seem to be a textless version floating around, so please forgive my terrible editing lol.

Mostly I'm going one paragraph at a time, using Dechifro's transliteration tool, reading for errors/stylistic changes, fixing it up, and copying it into the epub.

I made myself a tiny cheatsheet for learning Shavian, in Inkscape.

It's loosely based on one I found in the Shavian subreddit, except (probably) much worse than that one. I just really wanted something in a smaller size, for easily carrying around. These are designed for 2in×3.5in double-sided business cards. I have .SVGs too but I dunno where to post those.

Working on the strap for that bag from a few posts ago, and it's... quite a bit more ponderous than the main part was, lol. I gotta say though, Tunisian flat stitch is as awesome as CrochetKim says it is.

Finally, after YEARS of trial and error failures, today I've made Thicket Beans palatable and not poisonous! I went whole hog, 24 hour soak with 2 changes of salty, alkaline water. Boiling in another change. Pressure cooking after. And then boiling AGAIN. Lastly stewing with some sauce as a faux baked beans. It's pretty good! The process could certainly be optimized but now I know it IS at least doable.

So, I planted some American Spikenard years ago despite very little (and conflicting) information online about it's edibility. You can read that it is edible, it's not, it is but tastes horrible, and/or it's tasty. Well finally, I am here to confirm that it is in fact DELICIOUS and tastes like root beer!!! 😍 Unsurprising for this genus I guess, but there you have it.
