Do not make me open bluesky unless it's to view content about 🦞🦀🦐🐙 or related things you've personally sent me

Another year in the books! We cannot believe how much we were able to accomplish through the support of our volunteers. We are thankful for our local partner, NODE Forum, and @tuberlin.bsky.social for space. Thank you to LAUDS factories & Robert Mies for tireless support, solutions for every problem

I have officially closed my online store. It's a little sad and doesn't mean I'll stop making zines. But I can't afford to ship and print anymore, it's all so laborious and expensive. If you want a copy of my zines, you'll have to find me in the world!

Opening tonight:)

does anybody have any feelings about the coding colour pallet Monokai they want to share? Or another colour pallete that was meaningful to you for any reason?

Share your fav open Hardware creators in Europe? Specifically near Germany! Who do you want to see at the Open Hardware Summit?

I fucking hate everything to do with AI no exceptions I will not be convinced otherwise thank you

Anyone got good analogies for explaining the difference between print and return ?

Some thoughts from board member @michaelweinberg.org on the bills being raised around 3D printing and screening for specific parts michaelweinberg.org/blog/2026/02...

Bonjour, Hi #PortfolioDay ! I'm a cute traffic cone created by Montreal illustrator Tania Mignacca. I live in a kawaii urban world to make you look at your city differently 🧡 Check out my webcomic and cute merch: linktr.ee/ponto_mtl

Today @prusa3d.com released their cool new Open Community License (OCL)! To celebrate, I remixed their innovative CORE one printer shapes that they licensed under their OCL. I even remixed the OCL! Check it out makers! www.printables.com/model/152192...

This is not an open source licence. oshwa.org/resources/op...

A couple years ago we got to work with wonderful groups in Sri Lanka for an amazing conference. One of our participants put together a nice donation pool to help out our friends there impacted by the horrible flooding. Please chip in if you can! www.paypal.com/pools/c/9kV2...

New Publication! It's taken 3 years due to lots of delays from our most difficult conference we ever put on, but the Proceedings of the Third Digital Naturalism Conference are out! 300 pages of cool projects led by artists, biologists, and designers in Sri Lanka! archive.org/details/dina...

how annoying to be looking for help solving a code problem and being directed to your own article where the answer isn't

My dissertation is finally published under my real name! utoronto.scholaris.ca/items/e28db9...

My new zine is about pointers. What is the point!? This is another topic I've found confusing when explained to me but easy once its presented differently. Why are people always repeating the same phrases and not explaining them? Lets explore pointers! Drop your fav pointer facts / questions here.

I did the thing! Get your ORA zines only at the Rochester Maker Faire! @openresin.org @makerfaireroc.bsky.social #3DPrinting #3DPrinter #ResinPrinting #OpenSource #Zine

😍 great news!!

I've somehow managed to prep these 4 zines for Expozine next weekend! Just doing a small run of each, but pretty happy with the range. You'll have to find me in person to get a copy.

I bought an unmarked cardboard tube that was calling to me at a vintage tech museum collection sale and it turned out to be this Hitachi polyester film antenna and it's so beautiful! 📻 🤩

I am so grateful to have been part of the month long Digital Naturalisms Conference in Desa Les, Bali, Indonesia. View my stories and reflections of Dinacon 2025 here, with links to underwater photos and more: paulate.notion.site/Stories-and-...
