I doubt you'll find the peace you're looking for in Greek mythology.
Kronos, a Titan, so feared his children that he ate them. His youngest, Zeus, was hidden from Kronus by Rhea, his mother. When Zeus grows up, he tricks his father and rescues his siblings. Afterwards, Zeus leads a war against his father and wins.
Even in this origin story, a father essentially kills his own children out of fear and then is killed by his own children.
Why does he fear his own children? Because Kronos killed his own father, Uranus, at the behest of Gaia.
origin stories explain why the world is so messed up. World peace is an ideal that exists in the beginning of these stories when there was nothing. Once there is something, that's when jealousy and violence kick off.
Arachne, a mortal woman, was praised to be the best weaver among man. She foolishly challenges Athena, the goddess of handicraft among other things, and Arachne loses. Athena punishes her by turning her into a spider to live the rest of her existence weaving.
Ariadne was in love with Theseus. When he is challenged by her father the king to navigate the maze and kill the Minotaur, she spins a ball of yarn so that he can lay a trail to help him get out.
no, wool 🐑
cotton doesn't stretch and recover very well in hand knit socks so it tends to lose it's shape over time.
I made this baby sock! for the last few weeks I've been iterating on a little sock that's knitted flat. I think I'm getting pretty close to nailing down a written pattern.

good face 👍
I notice you don't draw facial features usually.
if you're into pens, you'll end up at fountain pens in the long run, so might as well get started 😁 I like fountain pens cuz you keep using the body of the pen and don't have to throw out a whole pen every time the ink runs out. I try not to use too many disposable things if I can help it.
My favorites getting into it are Lamy Safari and TWSBI Go. I'd recommend the Safari to start out. A real workhorse.
As for ink, you can buy cartridges to make it easy to refill or you can go for a converter which is a reusable cartridge that you can fill up from an ink bottle.
For nib size, I prefer Fine or Extra Fine but it definitely comes down to personal preference.
your lack of sleep makes your brain produce more cortisol and adrenaline to help you get through the day. this can sometimes feel like the hyperactivity of ADHD like symptoms.

I could say this is a special v-day dinner, but honestly it could be any other Wednesday.

oh no, we have to ban dollars now 🙄
honestly, I can't even tell the gender of people on nostr and it really doesn't matter. I zap content that I want to see, period.
