I hear you man. Hope the awful takes a break for you, for what it's worth you bring joy to this internet stranger with your art so you deserve some good karma for that. Take it easy and get healed up

Could well be more to it beyond my guesses. I'm pretty mystified by how controversial the whole thing is honestly, and how often I see it coming up in various areas of Lemmy

I'm not someone who has such strong feelings about it, but it's a pretty fascinating thing to see. Some people clearly get annoyed that the thorn is used incorrectly, others apparently just don't like seeing it at all, probably because it makes writing more difficult to parse by having an unfamiliar symbol. That's understandable, but it's kind of wild how deeply it seems to bother some people. For example, we're getting downvoted just for talking about it!

Agreed, but be careful. People around here have really strong opinions about thorn usage

I came here to say I'm still mad they make me hesitate to write in Futhark. One more reason to give them the Indiana Jones treatment

These are beautiful photos, well shot and thanks for sharing them

I love how this guy often puts little skits like this in his informational videos.

 

I love these little guys so much. My kids make fun me for listening to their theme music over and over, but it's just so inspiring. It makes me want to go out there and strive toward some lofty goal.
