papyrus paper

A hobbyist gardener has made miniature sheets of paper from their own dwarf papyrus plants, sharing the result with friends in game development circles. The post nods to ancient Egypt, where papyrus was used for writing, and jokes that their future Akh — the Ba and Ka of Egyptian belief — will thank them for millions of years. They also encouraged friends to keep tending their soil and plants.

A filmmaker who grew up in Gulu City, Uganda, has shared how childhood play shaped his career. Making toy cars and a 'box TV' from papyrus and paper as a child in a refugee camp, he is now a director of photography and mentor at Sisi Film Lab, an initiative supporting young filmmakers.
