I write science fiction, draw, paint, photobash, do woodworking, and dabble in 2d videogames design. Big fan of reducing waste, and of building community

A cool idea for a nautical campaign - a faction of emergency response pirates (sociale.network)
I found this story on Mastodon, about a maritime shipping disaster and the first-on-the-scene, questionably-legitimate emergency responders who rescue crew, contain the ecological impacts, and restore infrastructure damaged by a megafreighter crash before the official response can get into gear. And who take a bunch of loot when...

[Art] Necromunda - the cyberpunk side of Warhammer 40,000 (lemmy.zip)
I’ve always been intrigued by WH40k. I like how over-the-top everything is and how they’ll shamelessly steal ideas from from Lovecraft, Dune, Star Wars, or any other franchise they want and somehow make it all work. But, personally, I’ve never been a fan of military sci-fi. So stories about the Astartes never really...
I could see these walking houses (or their descendants) fitting FA's setting (www.n55.dk)
Between the large swaths of rewilded land in Fully Automated’s setting (which is protected from any permanent development/dwelings) and the general availability of high tech stuff, I could totally see slow, wandering, nomadic houses being a thing (for good or ill, depending on who in the setting you ask)....
Looking for advice on turning a mountain bike into a cargo bike
I’ve been riding the same Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo Mountain Bike since my uncle found it in a sandpit and gave it to me to ride while away on my first internship. It was in somewhat rough shape back then, and it’s kind of the bicycle of Thesius at this point as parts failed and I found ways to replace them....

We turned 5 1/2 gallons of expired milk into Farmer's Cheese (Tvorog) (imgur.com)
My SO’s company handles food. Sometimes that food goes bad. In this case, they got a whole shipment of milk days away from its expiration date (at which point they can’t serve it, and local food pantries very sensibly won’t accept it). Luckily, they’re not committed to dumping it down the drain, and they’ll let us take...
Fancy extension cord repaired with an old plug (imgur.com)
This is a quick one, not an impressive repair, but maybe a nice demonstration of the perks of keeping stuff until its useful. I found a multi-socket extension cord/usb charger while digging through ewaste (I fix up laptops and give the stuff I find away on my local.Buy Nothing -type group)....
Plastic Owl necklace made from recycled HDPE (mold carved from wood scraps) (imgur.com)
This was a kind of odd project, but I think it’ll fit. Back when I was researching ways to reuse plastic from 3d-printers, I ran across a thread discussing HDPE, turning plastic bags (if you can find only filmed HDPE ones) into printer filament through something like a filastruder, and that got me thinking about milk jugs....
Need inspiration on why someone powerful might commit crimes even in a solarpunk society? The Swindled podcast goes in-depth on a wide range of white-collar crimes (swindledpodcast.com)
I’ve been thinking about campaigns and discussing possible plotlines with my SO, and while we were talking about options for investigations and the reasons people might commit crimes even in a solarpunk society where everyone has enough, and they reminded me of this podcast which focuses on white collar crimes, their impacts...
