Even in the 24th century .. they never expected it (assets.pxlmo.com)
Another video test to see how well this one works … this time a MP4 coming from a Pixelfed server at pxlmo.com...

[Northeast U.S.A.] Xylocopa virginica resting on a fence post (assets.pxlmo.com)
This time of year, there’s a zillion of these loudly and clumsily zooming around right outside my backdoor. They’re very curious about everything that moves; they’ll just like stare you down, hovering a foot in front of your face. Too cute!! They are also kinda eating the landlords mudroom… but so slowly that I’m...
[Northeast U.S.A.] Aronia melanocarpa doing well in its second year (assets.pxlmo.com)
I got these as bare-root saplings a couple years old, and planted them last year. One actually bloomed and produced some berries the same year I planted it! These things sure are prolific. This year, they’re all already blooming....
I faceted a Jolly Rancher! (assets.pxlmo.com)
Okay not really! It’s just nanosital, which is a synthetic material very similar to glass. Gemstones always look alarmingly tasty, but this one was so reminiscent of a green Jolly Rancher when I polished it that I just had to give it an appropriate staging....
What is going on with that atmosphere/light around the rocket in this photo? (assets.pxlmo.com)
This was a SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5 launch from Cape Canaveral that occurred around 1900 local time on March 4th, 2024. The photo was taken from about 65km from the launch site. The rocket was in the 2nd stage....

Celtic Tatting Practice (assets.pxlmo.com)
Trying to get the hang of celtic tatting, just working freehand for now. Real celtic tatting patterns are surprisingly uncommon! There are a lot of cool faux ones, but those won’t teach me to use these shuttles. It doesn’t look very good at all, trying to keep in mind it’s just for practice.
My first tatting project! It's not very good but I'm enjoying it anyway. (assets.pxlmo.com)
I keep learning the bare minimum of tatting and then getting frustrated and giving up… This time I’m gonna stick with it! Please forgive all the horrendous mistakes lol....
Wall-Mounted Toothbrush Holder (assets.pxlmo.com)
File here. This is almost definitely not the best one that anyone’s designed, but at least it’s a little unique!...
First ever Thicket Bean (Phaseolus polystachios) harvest (assets.pxlmo.com)
Sorry this isn’t actually foraging per se, but the only kind of people who’d grow these are probably foragers anyway. I’ve been growing them for a couple years, but this is the first year I had enough to bother trying to eat them! From two plants we got about 1/2 a cup....
Open Source Orbital Shaker (assets.pxlmo.com)
We put this together for my public library’s makerspace. I have a bunch of issues with the design, but it does work so what can I say really. Specifically it’s this one....
It's 100% me not calling (assets.pxlmo.com)
I hate talking on the phone. This includes calling for any sorts of food delivery, customer service, or to make appointments....
(mostly native) Stuffed Pattypan Squash (assets.pxlmo.com)
For the first time, I had a lot of Illinois Bundleflower seeds to harvest. I’ve never cooked or eaten them before, and information online is pretty slim unfortunately. So, I just took a stab at something random. For the filling:...
Anybody else use the "WARNING: You're about to run out of papers!" leaf? (assets.pxlmo.com)
I just think it looks cool, and is an extra paper you only get to use if you’ve got your own joint glue.
Probably Graphocephala coccinea? Super cute leafhopper! (assets.pxlmo.com)
It was chilling on a Paulownia tree in Southeast Pennsylvania, U.S. I post more critters on my Pixelfed if anyone’s interested.
Cleome serrulata are beautiful and plentiful this year! (assets.pxlmo.com)
I post a lot of edible plants native to (roughly) the Northeast U.S. on my Pixelfed account.
Spiders are poisonous apparently (assets.pxlmo.com)

There’s nothing like playing the most up to date games, and this is nothing like an up to date game!...
Sometimes I marvel at how much my rolling skill has improved over the years. (assets.pxlmo.com)
If teenage me could see the joints she rolls decades in the future… O.O
Dual Chamber Transverse Ocarina (assets.pxlmo.com)
Sounds pretty good! It’s printed out of PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoates). This is a food safe naturally occurring material synthesized by bacteria, and it is fully biodegradable in a reasonable time span, in any biome, with no microplastics. Design from SolidZone, material from Filaments.ca Regen collection. Once the world figures...
