The weather is perfect outside and as usual I feel like a failure for not somehow utilizing the opportunity for Perfect Activities One Should Always Do In Nice Weather and instead just hanging on the porch here and there between indoor chores.

@skyfaller @andrewhinton This!

Another ?! I guess that's the aftershocks people warned us might happen.

@skyfaller I felt it too. Like this morning, but considerably weaker.

The local art house is promoting Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as a Valentine’s Date Movie … and I assume this is a gloriously sadistic prank because have you seen that film

@andrewhinton In college went on a movie first-date to… Apocalypse Now. We never spoke to each other again.

My quixotic (and perhaps stupid) quest:

  • identify all the plants in my yard
  • only kill invasive plants, leave the native plants alone

Obvious downsides:

  • native plants are also capable of destroying my sidewalk and retaining wall, and blocking my path
  • unidentified plants live in limbo

Maybe by the time I'm done, my heart will have hardened and I'll be able to kill the native too, but I love all plants and I don't want to kill any of them.

First: destroy all spotted ladysthumb.

The leaves and stem of spotted ladysthumb.

@skyfaller do you know about iNaturalist and their Seek app? Very helpful for id-ing stuff!

donutage,
@donutage@jawns.club avatar

@skyfaller I haven't tried PlantNet. Seek can be odd about what it can and can't ID. I've gotten some very quick ids on stuff that seems obscure (mosses!), while struggling to get a species on, for example, maple trees. But on the whole it's pretty helpful, and the iNat community chips into to correct/clarify its identifications.

So once upon a time on the Internet, it was standard to use pseudonyms to protect your privacy.

Then various companies like Facebook decided to require real names on your social media accounts, supposedly to encourage more polite discourse, but probably so they could more effectively sell your personal data.

Now we're here on fedi, where no one is enforcing real names, but I still see a lot of people using their full names and a headshot. What would you choose if you were starting fresh today?

@skyfaller I have used the same handle, donutage, virtually everywhere since around 2000, and I intend to keep that streak going. Some places, the handle is the only identifier I use, but I don't mind if my real name also gets displayed (as it does on Mastodon). I do have a "secret" gmail account that I've used occasionally when I really wanted anonymity.

Speaking of venues, anyone else going to the Magnetic Fields show at World Cafe Live tonight?

I am concerned this Facebook ad is implying that I would like to fuck Gritty but may need a little help. Please advise.

@Popehat @FrancisBass which half of the implication makes you uncomfortable?
