	I originally put the knitting here because it used to be a side thing, but it's growing on me, and it has been taking more and more space in my head every day during SI26, so I felt like it deserved a spot there! But to be honest, this is a very intersectional topic for me!

	Also, a downside of it is that since I started knitting, I've been reading a lot less, as it is obviously complicated to do both at the same time. I have on the other hand, listened to more audio books, but most are not XPUB related (except maybe The Handmaid's Tale). {{:User:Aksellr/Some Questions}}		Also, a downside of it is that since I started knitting, I've been reading a lot less, as it is obviously complicated to do both at the same time.

	A Zine out of all the screenshots we made during working & trying on our web extensions and various other projects from [[SI26]]. by taking a lot of screenshots in the process of editing CSS, extension that aren't a fix thing, a process of manual bending and tweaking, always changing. A screenshot shouldn't pretend to be a website, it's a fixed image, a situated recording that stays. Once freed from the "objective, representative" goal of screenshot, they can become more creative: very zoomed in, a photo of the screen itself, or of a beamed website on a wall, etc... An additionnal idea was to print parts on transparent paper (snippets of codes?)

	Jokes appart, I really deeply enjoyed this Special Issue, even though none of the projects seem to be done or ready for the future public event (I still have faith that they will!). Maybe it comes from having played with CSS before, but it felt great to not be completely lost when we were talking about technical stuff with Doriane (compared to the previous Special Issue.. I still don't fully grasp how to work with ~~an API~~).

	I really loved the approach Doriane had, and how we decided to reappropriate the Special Issue to do whatever we wanted with it. Display and Position are still great themes, but I feel like we all needed to go broader, and it shows in the overall results.

	The more I look at what I do, the more I feel like I want to go lowtech on everything in my life. I knit my clothes, I make my own bread, and I used to bind my own books, so why do I have difficulties pushing myself to code my own website, for instance? I don't really want to build my own server because of the technical side? I feel like there's something I'm missing technically and I have a hard time bridging the gap, or pushing myself to learn how to. I think I love everything whimsical and poetic, I love things that are beautiful, and to see that beauty, I want to understand what's behind it. That's what makes me appreciate a beautifully designed book, an elaborate dessert and an intricate sentence when reading a book. That's also what I miss when working on things that are purely technical, and maybe what I didn't enjoy that much for SI25.

	But the dark sky and the heavy rain remained. It poured and ir poured, and it poured so much that the river started to overflow, and it overflowed so much that it started swallowing all buildings on the river side. Not all of them obviously. Some people who's been established here for a long time had taken onto them to reinforce their doors, windows, and foundations. Some other were desperately trying to make things work for their house; it was the only home they'd known for the last decade, their whole life was in this city, so having to move away was a decision they were having a hard time making. And the one who had tried to pull the alarms before were long gone by the time the river overflowed. They had packed, and found their way to smaller villages, near smaller rivers, hoping for their new place to never get as big as the one they had left before.
