The REALITY OF HOPE short doc is premiering at Sundance, and it tells the story of a VRChat friendship that lead to donating a kidney. I spoke to @joeahunting.bsky.social & @maxfilmsvr.com about the beautiful story of @photographotter.bsky.social & @hiyu.bsky.social: voicesofvr.com/1519-the-rea...

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern. #upcycling
