Fascinating, I know. /s This is interesting to me, though, as my strategy dramatically changed when I have a source and a destination that I personally categorize as relatively similar to each other. For some reason, their names threw me off as well. I am familiar with both of these plants/food items, but I do not eat them very often. I felt that I had to think much more laterally with this task rather than the go out to come back in strategy that I have used in the past. They felt deceptively closer to each other from the beginning, hinting at having much more in common with each other than they actually do. I appreciated the little struggle here.

Punk Rock β†’ Dignity

That is a rather long path compared to what I have been able to accomplish recently. Dignity is such a broad concept and I thought I would find the article for it much sooner. I appreciate punk rock, specifically the hardcore scene, for everything that it has taught me. I attribute my exposure to topics of human rights, animal rights, gender issues, peace work, mutual aid, and so much more to my participation in this scene.

I recently wrote for my Master’s work, a study of place where we were able to choose any meaningful location or conceptual location on earth. I chose the mosh pit and used this specific example of Have Heart performing “Watch Me Rise”. Frontman Patrick Flynn has long been a hero of mine, but quoting Izzeldin Abuelaish, introducing radical compassion and forgiveness to what many would consider an unlikely audience for this, and bringing attention to the genocide in Palestine, just elevated him in my books.

Yeah “don’t talk to me until I have had my coffee” but also not until I have had my Zytrec.

If you ever feel like an idiot, I am the one who thought, “What if no dock?” and removed every app from it only to realize that Finder will stay no matter what and immediately put everything back again.

Literally, the only way I could think of to get there was through France. Seeing the depth of the France article and even the list of desserts article is so inspiring for what I am working on with the ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi Wikipedia.

Ed Sheeran β†’ Arithmetic

I don’t know much about this guy, but I knew that he had a series of albums with mathematical symbols on the covers, and I thought that was a decent thematic device.

Has anyone seen any articles about the aesthetics of the Kamala campaign? I have seen write-ups about the Harris/Walz logo design, but the color grading and film quality of everything they officially release have a unique look.

I had a giggle when I first saw this path. There are some very, umm, interesting NSFW pictures in the Human article. I did not expect to see that. Here, since you are curious.

I rediscovered Hatnote today. I’m going through old diary entries where I used to document findings around the internet, and I came across this brilliant project that was created to listen to generative music based on updates to Wikipedia being made in real time. I love it.

14? Yeah this was trickier than I thought it was going to be. I saw several articles with canvas in text, but not linked. You will see backwards paths too because of how small some of the articles were. “Oil on Canvas” is apparently an album title. Tricky.

Big fan of Romy, but unfamiliar with Jessie Ware. There is a moment in their track “Lift You Up” where they sing directly to each other, calling each other forward with the lyrics, and it is just the cutest moment ever.

It’s the desert tortoise. California’s state reptile is the desert tortoise. What is yours?

As I migrate old journal entries to yet another new system, I am getting roasted by my past self:

Shiitake β†’ Black Pepper

Shiitake β†’ Black Pepper ⏰ 01:06 🦢4 (Shiitake β†’ Simmered β†’ Chili_con_carne β†’ Cayenne_pepper β†’ Black_pepper)

This felt easy enough from the beginning. I am always surprised by what gets an article on the English Wikipedia. I did not expect there to be an article, short as it is, for simmering food. There is, in fact, an entire list of cooking techniques. Check it out and learn a new one!

Oh my gosh, this is so clever. I recommend starting in a place that you know with maybe a destination in mind. Love this so much.

Medical Ethics β†’ Chair

Medical Ethics β†’ Chair ⏰ 01:10 🦢4 (Medical_ethics β†’ Disabled β†’ Assistive_technology β†’ Wheelchair β†’ Chair)

For some reason, I especially love it when it is a niche or detailed concept to a very concrete one. I audibly chuckle to myself when I read the A to B for these. The first thing I thought of was a wheelchair. My good friend, growing up, used a wheelchair for mobility, and he always just referred to it as “my chair.” “Can you grab my chair?” “We’ll have to put my chair in the trunk.” “I need to get a new chair.”

I should get a hold of him soon.

Panentheism sounds very interesting. It is described as “the belief that the divine intersects every part of the universe and also extends beyond space and time.” That’s fun. I hate rodeos, and I honestly see them as an evil sport. So, I was happy to have this one over relatively quickly.

It helps to know things in this game. This was my best time and shortest path (I think?) so far. I live very close to an agricultural Heiau and that is immediately where my mind went.

I was trying to go for fewer steps, this time more than anything. As a vegan my whole adult life, I do appreciate this train of thought the more I look at it. I am noticing that with this being something of a game of speed, I spend the least amount of time on the initial article. I should go back and learn more about what Dynamical Systems Theory is.

I am considering this a failure. I should have gotten it sooner, but there is a tangent there that I definitely believe I could have improved on. I initially thought the Motley Crue song was my starting place, I am not familiar with the band at all.

Ok, I feel a slight sense of shame with this one. You can see where I was going. I couldn’t remember too much about the antagonists in Die Hard except that they were German. It took too long fo rmy liking, but I eventually got to Bruno Radolini.

A week into moving everything from most of my other writing apps to Forever ✱ Notes and I l-o-v-e it. This leaves TextEdit for disposable text, MarsEdit for blogging, Bike for lesson planning and presentations, and Pages for writing papers (very rare that I actually need to write these). Feels good.

It is a much, much shorter path than I expected this to be. This was one of the first that I felt totally at a loss with the first few clicks, but then I started to see a route. I love that physical properties article. These list articles are some of my favorites on Wikipedia.

In addition to properties, there is a list of physical quantities article that is just as interesting. I just came across the phrase, “I don’t so much as go down rabbit holes, more like rhinoceros holes.” I love that.
