kipisi mi li pilin e ni: ala li jo e sona sama. ni li pona tawa ona, taso mi sona mi. mi sona mi.


The infrastructure feels external but it's not. The superstructure feels internal but it's not. It is inside out. You are inside out.

To avoid confusion elsewhere in the world, it’s worth saying that this focuses on US copyright law only. Copyright terms in most other countries, including all of Europe, are different, and works listed here as “public domain” may still be under copyright outside the US.

Worth noting, based on different copyright terms earlier, here's what we *would* be getting, assuming the "life" part is 30 years and always renewal:
Without Sonny Bono: We would have works from 1944
Without the 1976 extension: 1968
Without the 1909 act: 1982
Originally: 1996
Also, without the 1989 act, we wouldn't have orphan works.

Finally getting started on another new project—neck warmers for my parents in law for Christmas ✨

I went the cheap route and got two 100% cotton bedsheet + pillowcase packs from a furniture store at 7€ each instead of looking for straight up fabric by the meter. This way I get a lot of fabric that's good for embroidery afterwards and some complimentary zippers. c:

So far I've just removed a zipper from one of the pillowcases.

Progress: First tube has been cut (1), sewn shut (2), and filled in sections with white rice (3).

Next is creating a second layer to make sure no squeezing causes rice to pop out of a seam, then a washable case with a li'l bit of embroidery and the aforementioned zipper reattached.

Second layer created and secured! It is now functional.

I've decided to make the second one's inside first, then do their embroidered washable cases.
