A snippet from a Red Hand File that reads; "I go to bed around midnight, but before I have time for any blue glow, dwelling on fragments of memory, or lyrical musings, I put on a podcast, which keeps intrusive late-night thinking at bay. This podcast generally amounts to one person who doesn’t know what they’re talking about, talking to another person who doesn’t know what they’re talking about, about something I know absolutely nothing about, and this triumvirate of stupidity generally lulls me into some approximation of sleep (the first sleep)."

A timelapse video of me working in Figma to recreate a five-panel sequence of the sun in reds and oranges, with timestamps at the bottom.

The end graphic is a kind of retro/flat/noisy look.
