Haha, I’ve been using the same pyrex as a fairness cup, too.

I don’t like that, but I am a card-carrying member of the Cult of Baths. I want to be inundated, stewed, and marinated

Walden by Henry David Thoreau (www.gutenberg.org)

I’ve read a few books about simple living/minimalism but I just finished ‘Walden’ and wow… it’s beautiful. Many patient observations of simple natural phenomenon are wonderful meditations and potent lessons. It seemed just as relevant to present times as to when it was written. I finished feeling like there’s so much...

It’s pretty but my opinion is biased by the knowledge that he had a housekeeper and also he was freeloading on his buddy Emerson’s property. But I should read it again because it is pretty.

He at least borrowed female labor from Emmerson if he didn’t hire himself. What was he gonna do, wash his own underwear?

IIRC they built a replica for Lescaux Caves to protect the real one from tourists and their lung humidity. May not be a viable solution in all cases, but maybe enough of them? Also too I want immersion in recreated scenes of plausible daily life. Also I wanna touch the things, that’s part of immersion.

Another one for listening: mostly TV and youtube that are not visually heavy. I’m getting into some podcasts, but I haven’t made the leap to audio books yet.

Wtf, someone just had a bunch of bones in their attic or something? Like, arguably human bones?

Maybe amber glass isn't the best idea (possumpat.io)

Inherited a set of these amber glass cups from my dude’s great-grandma. I like them, they make me feel a little fancy, but I absolutely cannot gauge a steep color in these. I’ve got water as hardass as a Humphrey Bogart character, and it helps to glance at the color to see if I’ve got a decent steep, especially for herbal...

One of the few reasons I would want to visit Ohio

Maybe I’m just a snob, but I was wanting more scholarly language and I’d probably put the info the last paragraphs to the first, to set the context for the intersections of spirituality, formal religion, and herbal remedies, because it is interesting how those entangle.

Controversial tangent: I still cringe at white people who claim their Native American ancestry as significant when they probably can’t name shit about specific tribe customs or beliefs besides that sassafras eases stomachaches or whatever. There is worthwhile discussion about the racism inherent in shit like blood quantums when culture is arguably the more important part of Native American ancestry. The whites worked so hard to wipe it out, after all.

New water change, new look (photos.app.goo.gl)

Because redecorating a 10g fish tank with fake plants is cheaper than redecorating my apartment. It ended up more open on top than I wanted but my betta boi still has his floating log to hide in. Gonna go blow all my money on more aquarium decor to alter it during next week’s water change.

solarpunking the educational system (www.youtube.com)

Jumping from a previous post on education. Feel free to skip the first 7:30 minutes (which mostly defines solarpunk as a concept, I think we’re good on that in this space), but this seems like this Human Restoration Project is a good thing with the wonk behind it to make it functional. (extra linky just in case:...

Well damn, maybe I need to git gud at Spanish so I can read the public domain punk shit instead of needing to buy the translation.

thegiddystitcher, to knitting

The perils of public bus knitting.

LOTS of bus travel for me today, so naturally I brought my sock project. Forgot I needed to frog the start of sock two and cast on again though. In public. Uhoh, pressure.

Well it is my pleasure to inform you that this morning I successfully remembered how to do a figure 8 cast on without looking up the instructions, for the first time ever 😎

I guess hardship leads to success, or something.

I wish I could use my bus commute time constructively but I get hella carsick

I have mixed feelings about it because I am fairly familiar with educational neglect, having been trapped in an strongly underfunded rural Midwest high school where the football coach was also the history teacher and the science teacher and the music teacher (and from secondhand info, the agriculture science teacher) just gave the fuck up on us (we only had one of each of those).

But I’m already convinced that most testing and grading are, in fact, bullshit, as per yootube attached: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe-SZ_FPZew&t=3shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe-SZ_FPZew&t=3s

A self sustaining, interconnected community, proposal written by ChatGPT (slrpnk.net)

Imagine a visionary building at the heart of a self-sustaining community—an architectural marvel that embodies the principles of sustainability, interdependence, and holistic living. This remarkable structure serves as a hub where all essential projects seamlessly come together, forming an interconnected and interdependent...

Maybe it’s just 'cause I have a useless literature degree, but reading AI text feels uncanny-valley. Factual impossibilities aside, it does not flow like how amateur or bad writers write, let alone good writing.

I feel like it needs something spiky. Haworthia or aloe? Or at least something upright like an orchid?

Why is my betta not a good eater?

This is the 3rd betta I’ve had and he’s just not food motivated like every other betta I’ve seen. We’ve tried pellets, flakes, and assorted freeze dried shit and he’ll still mostly ignore it until it sinks to the bottom, and then maybe he’ll nibble it. Bruh you are not a catfish or pleco, wtf. He’s a “samurai”...
