Someone once told me I'm too sincere to be funny.

Full-time caregiver to a disabled brother and father interested mainly in Thoreau, Zhuangzi, animism, Kings of Convenience, and drinking tea.

Master's degrees in music theory and theology (nonpracticing), classically trained and folk musician (also nonpracticing), and I once organized and helped plant over 800 trees on abandoned mine land (I do still plant trees occasionally).

Morning All. Happy Friday!

Here is an image of a local Bluebell Wood. Although Bluebells are naturalised in other parts of the world, they are actually native to Western Europe, and over half of the world's population are found in the UK.

Bluebells are a common indicator species for ancient woodlands, so bluebell woods can date back at least 1600 years.

@inherentlee I really like how the first blue one looks like those projection communications in star wars. "Help us pidge, you're our only hope!"

@SrRochardBunson @arbata_armada actually that terebess site has a lot of translations for free (of both the Laozi and the Zhuangzi)!

What if I turned my blog/writing into a series of letters I send to people and never use the internet again?

are sunflower seeds supposed to taste and feel like wood splinters, or is this because i bought the super duper cheap ones? :neofox_not_like_this_derp:​

@nathanlovestrees@disabled.social avatar

@nuz @jaden it is a lot of work and kinda annoying! Most of the people I know who do it are trying to or have quit smoking and use it as a way to help with that

Anyone else get described as "intense" by people? Intense as in, "having and displaying a wide range of emotions and or passion."

I have gotten this my whole life.

nathanlovestrees,
@nathanlovestrees@disabled.social avatar

@aka_quant_noir @NatureMC and also, "your intensity, emotions, and sensitivity to your environment make me uncomfortable because they draw my attention to things I'd rather not pay attention to, so please stuff it down so I'm not forced to acknowledge things I'd prefer to ignore."

nathanlovestrees,
@nathanlovestrees@disabled.social avatar

@callisto oh yeah... In my bio I say that someone once told me I'm too sincere to be funny. Which, on the one hand is absolutely true. What I think they meant though is I don't have some detached aloofness from people or my environment that gives me distance from the often dark and uncomfortable things like they try to maintain. But I do also tend to keep going even when others stop thinking it's funny, even if I find it amusing. A deep source of confusion for me

@NatureMC @callisto I really appreciate those encouraging words 💚 thank you!
