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.
If you saw my post with the stamp of the rock form known as “The Pants”, here is a photo of a Polar Bear dwarfed by it, seen through its legs. I had the wrong lens on and couldn’t get a photo of the entire formation and bear. #Nunavut#Arctic#LandscapePhotography#WildlifePhotography#PolarBear
@davidho I think it's just easier to block a whole car lane than, say, 1/3 and let vehicles decide for themselves how to use that "partial" lane. on the other hand, does it really take 8 people to fix 2 bollards! no wonder the speed of improving bike lane infrastructure is not going anywhere 🙃
#monsterdon Will somebody PLEASE give Hans a hand with the manual labour for just one scene, seeing him haul up all the logs of the raft that he also built on his own is not endearing me to Otto.
For my birthday, I'd really like it if my beloved fedi could spread word far and wide of Kitsune Tails. It's a platformer with a heartwarming story featuring queer main characters and personal discoveries in classic SMB3 style. You can find trailer, screenshots, and wishlist links here: https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails
It's coming out this year and the team and I have been working hard on it for several years now. Most of the team is queer in some form so by boosting you'd not only be making me happy on my birthday, but supporting a bunch of queer creators making queer art as well
As folks discuss the plundering of the open internet/sharing economy by the data-hungry LLM trainers, it seems like a good time to remind ourselves to find something other than "the tragedy of the commons" as a metaphor. On the racist, terrible origins of that phrase:
Last weekend at set build, one of the other volunteers was admiring my homemade tool battery. Today you came up to me and told me that someone had his condos was getting rid of a bunch of tools because they didn't have a battery. He asked if I wanted to have them to see if I could build a battery for them like I did for my drill.
I said yes, not really expecting anything good, but he walked me out to his car and handed me a big bag of tools, all of which use the exact same type of battery used by my drill and my impact driver that I dug out of the trash a few weeks ago.
He gave me a cordless sawzall, a drill, a flashlight / lantern, and another battery charger. A whole suite of these tools now!
First thing I'm going to do is convert the incandescent flashlight/lantern to LED
@decryption it's so weird to me that someone without a place to park a car would get a car, park that car illegally and then complain about how they don't have a place to park that car.
The level of entitlement is astonishing.
