Welcome to William (Liam) Mysterious Woodard's corner of the internet. Right now it's themed as a wizard tower. Before that it was themed as personnel quarters on a space station. I don't expect to retheme it soon, but one day I'm sure I will.
So to find your way here, you may have sat down to a cute table and chair set after having gravity shift on you considerably. If so, please enjoy a beverage of your choice which has appeared on the coaster in front of you while reading this text off of a leaflet you found on the table.
You may have taken a look at the pinboard in my study, in which case feel free to realize that behind and around each highlight listed here are copious notes and design scribbles where I sort out the details.
Or you found your way here from the greater web, maybe we met on fedi, or perhaps you found me on the now page directory run by Derek Sivers, who inspired this page's creation. In which case, welcome to this choose your own adventure style silliness.
Last week was decent, but between all the things, on Monday my left shoulder was shouting obsceneties again. That means I'll be doing a RecoveryRompwod till it stops shouting.
I'm now folling printed workout guides that I set up using typst! I have written more about it here. It's a in-progress project and I expect I will continue to expound on the experience as time goes on.
Work on the library continues. The storage bench is installed, and now is storing some things. We are making a plan for v2 of the front panels, and have one top panel that needs work as well, but it's currently in a reasonably functional state.
Baseboards are being painted! We're sooo close
Additionally, we finally decided it was time to put some insulation in the attic. There's still a bit more electrical work before we can add insulation everywhere, but over a couple of the bedrooms seems likely to do some good. I've installed 2 bags of rockwool insulation, and have another ready to put in once my shoulder decides to cooperate with me again.
I knew that rockwool sold itself as easy to install, but I will say I was impressed. If the beems in our attic were 16 on center, it would have been extremely simple. As it was, it was still pretty easy to do.
After sitting with this piece of writing (warning, I nearly cried, and I know many of my friends did): https://sightlessscribbles.com/the-colonization-of-confidence/
and many other folks's writings on how bad things are getting on the internet, I finally set up an RSS reader, because I want to consume as little slop as possible, and hopefully start doing more with this site as well.
Still figureing out how best to set up a feed for a sprawl like this site is, if you've got a good idea of how it could be done, please let me know
I've been trying to strike a balance between keeping up with current events and not destroying my mental health.
.. As a trans person living in the USA, this has been a struggle.
So, if you're sitting in the lounge at the top of the stairs, it's probably time to Choose a doorway.
If you're looking at my pinboard, find something else in the study to look at.
If you've only just arrived, I encourage you to begin at the beginning.
