This is Carl. He lives in the giant pothos plant growing out of one of my living room aquariums. Carl has been offered a private luxury residence on the covered porch many times, but always returns to the great indoors. Carl knows what’s up.

Have a little #WaterfallWednesday, as a treat.

Water falls down into a sinkhole, the walls of which are verdant with mosses and ferns. As the video pans up it reveals a canopy of magnolias and other small hardwoods against a blue sky.

Where you live/grew up, what is the word for the natural path between two points that often goes near a more formal walkway/sidewalk?
The formal English word is “desire path” which always gave me the ick. In german it was technically “Trampelpfad” (trampel path) but colloquially in the areas I grew up it was usually Gänsenpfad (goose path) or “Ziegenpfad” (goat path), usually dependent on which small livestock was more common to the region. #linguistics

You know what they say, a frog in chime saves rhyme.

In other words,
a frog in the tube is worth two in the toot.

Ask not for whom the chime tolls,
It tolls for frog.

As a caregiver of two adults with mobility devices, one of the things I love about the county where I live is the abundance of conservation parks with accessibility features.
On the downside, they’re not fully accessible. 😕 1/2

Turts! In the yard.

Lovely night for a full moon hike at a local state park. Even got to visit with the local pond puppies for a bit!

Dorsal view of an American alligator with its head and upper torso visible above the still water. The surface of the water reflects cotton-candy orange and pink clouds in the sunset sky.

If we accept the existence of onion, must we also accept the existence of the underion? Or is this a false binary?

People always play the “fuck around” part of Toccata and Fugue in D minor, but I’ve always loved the “find out” part more.

Tangentially related: Fantasy and Fugue in A minor has big 8-bit game energy.

It’s after fucking midnight. I’m #tired The dogs have been pacing and stressing all evening thanks to the booms.

So. To the absolute hedge fluffers setting off fireworks for the past three hours:

May both sides of your pillow always be warm.

May you sit in a wet spot at the start of a long day out.

May the gas pump always say “see attendant” when you try to pay at pump.

And may you never find the source of the beep.

Happy "baby octopus riding on jellyfish" Holiday to all who celebrate!

Do I remember the context for this reply? No.

Did I immediately (apparently) screenshot and make myself a randomly recurring event reminder to give future-myself some pleasant neurotransmitters? Yes. Absoflippinlutely.

Pls/Thx - drop some adorable octopus/squid/jelly pics with Alt Text here.

I have reached the last of my #ink reserves on the sadly discontinued Pilot Iroshizuku Tsukushi. The Yama-guri just doesn’t do it for me. Anyone on #FountainPen mastodon have a nice medium brown they like? Something between Pilot’s Yama-guri and the Pelikan Brilliant-Braun.

MushROOMS (and moss)! #Camping #Hiking #Wander #Mushrooms #Mushtodon #SilentSunday #Mosstodon

Solitary mushroom with a light brown buttony top grows between the twisty arms of a tree root among moss and fallen leaves.
Mushroom with a red top and white trunk/underside grows from a bed of green mosses. Some critter has done a small nibble on the mushroom.
A tree trunk is covered with almost scale-like small mushrooms.

There were rock walls, stumps, pebbles and large boulders the size of large boulders covered in moss. #Camping #Hiking #Wander #Mosstodon #SilentSunday

The top of a tree stump is covered in a thin layer if mosses in a small glade of rhododendrons. A stream flows in the background.
The railroad log of an abandoned train trestle has weathered and created a shallow trough that is collecting small detritus and growing small plants and mosses.
Tiny patch of verdant moss grows in the crevasse of a small rock. A tiny seedling is sprouting up at the edge of the moss.

I love when tree roots create cozy little nooks or twist around rocks. #Camping #Hiking #Wander #SilentSunday

Tree root on a sandy bank creates a tiny cavern.
Exposed tree roots along a riverbank has had soil eroded away. The tree holds fast to the remaining rocks, soil, and roots of its neighbours.
An especially burled tree roots shows stout and twisty roots growing away from its base.

Not to be outdone, lichen was well represented too. A crow even dropped a bundle of beard lichen onto the hood of the truck. #Camping #Hiking #Wander #LichenSubscribe #SilentSunday

Tree outside of a fenced cemetery, its truck covered in lichen.
Old farm fence covered in lichen stands along the right side of a rural footpath. The left side is lined with trees and undergrowth.

US-Specific Question:
For my Due-in-Dec nephew/nibbling, I was thinking of starting a "Camping/College/Civil Disobedience Bail" aka Choose Your Own Adventure fund for me and the other aunties to contribute to. Do any of you have personal experience starting an account/fund for a non-dependent?
