TIL that mustard plants grow very tall and have purple flowers that bees really like. I planted them because they're a great "grow literally anywhere" plant you can just yeet into the ground and leave to do their thing, and they're great at weed suppression and outcompeting grasses, but I didn't know they'd end up looking nice and making the bees happy too.

... now I'm in the mood to do some guerilla gardening.

@gsuberland oh! I have one of these, too. Do you know what it is, because I don't and I'd like to..

When I was out in the yard, the bees were humming in the dandelions and over some of the budding willow.

Is everyone having shitty sleep the last four days or so? Or is it just my timeline...

It's a very special feeling when you make a movie ref in a chat and you are SO OLD that no one gets the reference. special like grave dust.

Baker has staked his claim. I forget how big he is until he naps on me.

Speaking of toilet tabs...that's the last of the box I bought. I like them, but not enough to purchase again.

  1. they are expensive for how many tabs you get.
  2. the tabs aren't stable. The box is full of powder from tabs no longer in tab form.

I'm ordering eco-friendly sheets next to try.

Today's project! It's not perfect? but I'm happy with it. It looks SO pretty. :)

Back of Steam Deck with floral vinyl skin applied. The flowers are large and comic-booky looking in orange, cream-yellow, and pinks.

I'm reading James by Percival Everett. It's Jim from Huckleberry Finn telling the story from his viewpoint.

There's a lot to unpack so far. Small, almost tossed off, hard truths about racism that feel like a bright light cleaning out my corners.

Self-care day after is going well.

Slept til 2ish pm, Read the Tea Dragon Society comic, and am now thinking lunch & a Lego set.

Have a headache which is displeasurable, but managing alright. Hopefully lunch and more hydration will help.

We hit a coin show in Sunnyvale today and made a few finds. Better yet, we met some great people and got a few pointers to collector groups that my son will check out and maybe find some great community!

A sample of today’s finds at the coming show.

@btaroli thank you for taking your son to this. I wish my parents had been this attentive and kind. <3

This morning's entertainment: showing the cat the fizzy toilet tab. He's all freaked out now. lol

abetterjulie,
@abetterjulie@wandering.shop avatar

@WagesOf haha, normally in the mornings he's all trouble--getting into things he shouldn't and generally being a nuisance--but after I showed him that, he's been very well behaved. haha

"I'm suspicious of any plan to fix unfairness that starts wtih 'step one, dismantle the entire system and replace it with a better one,' especially if you can't do anything else until step one is done. Of all the ways that people kid themselves into doing nothing, that one is the most self-serving."

So, all that work including downloading Inkscape to work with svg, only to find out SquareSpace doesn't allow svg files.
