anyone in the #seattle area know where to snag an old air conditioner? all the modern ones have apps and Wi-Fi and bullshit and don’t even cool very well

Let love be The core of The Sun, Let it destroy Me to create Light and Heat. #poetry

Freezer uses a heat pump to move heat away from inside itself, water heater uses a heat pump to move heat inside itself, they're close to each other but not connected in any way and this makes me irrationally annoyed. They should be friends. They should be lovers

“In this tender portrait, the US filmmaker Leonard Kamerling profiles Ryan Matthews, an artist who found life growing up in New Jersey stifling before discovering room to grow in the grandeur of Alaska. Since childhood, Matthews, who is on the autism spectrum, has been captivated by […]

It's ANNUAL GIRL SCOUT COOKIE SHAKEDOWN TIME and y'all have to click on this link and buy cookies from my kid so she can get a plush ferret. https://digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/minerva208017

New spot just dropped #catsofmastodon #loaf

Question: How reliable are published sunrise/sunset times? I've been using an online calendar in my daily posts (set to Manchester)but I bought a weather station and the times shown on that differ by a few minutes (also set to Manchester). Looking around, some other online sources differ a […]

“I think part of the problem is that we've internalized an industrial model of human output. Factories don't have seasons. They run continuously, and when they stop, something has gone wrong. We've mapped this onto ourselves without asking whether the analogy holds. But humans are not factories […]

Visited the new kittens again, today. Oh boy. Again, apologies for what’s incoming, folks. Once these little critters move in, well: Prepare for a lorra lorra kitten shots!

@dicenbuttons That is a good looking ant hill. Are you in Europe or out west in the US? It's a little odd for them to be this active in winter, but if there is sun they will go out and try to warm-up. They do this thing where they sit in the sun and get warm. Then go deep in the nest and get […]

Still thinking about Germany growing too much potatoes and ending up with four thousand tonnes of potatoes that need eaten and setting up a website to distribute the potatoes because frankly they have too many potatoes and it's actually a problem how many potatoes there are in Germany and they […]

Absolute scenes at the beach #birdsofmastodon

Lots of new #Introduction posts trickling in from a new instance (theforkiverse.com) which is nice to see. They seem a decent bunch. They'll probably fit in here despite that.

[What would your job be on the leftist commune (body horror)] 🏕️ 🐹...cycled materials like plastic bags, and when I'd made enough socks I'd be happy to lead the meditation group. 🐩 Aw that sounds lovely. And useful! What'd your job be, 🦝? 🦝 Dentist 🐩 🐹 🦊 do... I didn't know you had any […]

This morning, as I considered that I’m the end of an ancestral line, I was reminded: at the ends of branches are seeds for whole new trees.

-I have spent the last 10 years looking at the Arctic and how humans work within it as it changes. And how Climate Change is creating an acessibility feedback loop. Feel free to ask me about this. -I also want to get into conservation, due to my increasing understanding of local enviroment that […]

@Cat_LeFey Cat, a while back you came up with a proto-Germanic translation of “web of light” for me, which I have used regularly, thank you! Is there a site you’d recommend for looking up these kinds of things, or would you be willing to come up with another phrase translation for me? Now I’m […]

#3goodthings • As I was leaving a friend’s place, I met his neighbor, and both of the neighbor’s black cats—Feffer and Tazio—trotted to me to be petted. 🥰 • I’m weathering this bout with poison oak better than last time it was this extensive, which was a few years ago. Back then, my local […]

Hello friends! What's the best thing that's happened to you so far in 2026?

The wizard sleeps gently. In the distance, frogs sing.

People who divide the world into good and evil put themselves on the good side and thus become evil to people on their bad side, if those people also divide the world into good and evil.

I just opened my laptop for the first time in a few days, and it’s not connecting to wifi, even though my phone is. It’s Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon. I deleted the wifi from Network Connections, but I don’t see how to reconnect it. I’m not terribly techy so might be missing something obvious. Help? […]

#3GoodThings • A wonderful evening seeing in the new year, by texting and pulling oracle cards with an out-of-state friend and a little alcohol, as has become tradition • An extra-magical Solstice season • Finding a pair of Amanita Pantherinas or Gemmatas […] [Original post on norcal.social]

@quinn I thought it was a bit forward when he wanted to show me his spreadsheets about the transportation times for different subway lines on just the second date... but I also said YES. Being a demure woman of quality I did not show my spreadsheets to him about prime numbers until we were […]

We have beans confirmed! I repeat: We have cat beans confirmed!

Is there a way on iPhone to turn off automatic balloons and fireworks animations when texting happy birthday and happy new year? I’d rather be the one to choose! #iphone #texting

How’s the new year looking so far, for those of you who are in it? 👀 (It’s seven and a half hours from here.)

#3goodthings @3goodthings 🫖 A cup of tea in bed in the middle of the afternoon 🚲 Feeling like I'm flying while riding my bike even if it was only for a short way 🍛 The offspring made us katsu for tea and it was good and I was up to eating it.

The wizard sleeps tranquilly. A chorus of crickets makes a low-level background hum.

Tripping me out to learn Bob Ross permed his hair. (Dad refused to let me cut my curly hair in the late ‘70s with an indignant: ‘Men pay good money to look like you!’)

"I'm just going to stare at tou until I get my treats"

A this photo from yesterday's location scouting could fit for #thickTrunkTuesday , right? It's been quite a time since I went to a new location with the clear intent of location scouting. - It took me a while until I was able to "see" something as I was so […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

we got that sorted. #39c3

HOW to teach #picathecat that she CAN'T sit on my lap until I'm done sitting down??? The lap doesn't exist until the human is sitting?? She tries to get on my lap *as* I'm trying to sit and it's just... it's chaos. And then she's upset and I'm in a bad position because she didn't let me fix my […]

I was one of the trial recipients for this postcard project. So fun! Also, as it so happens, two of my pieces will be on the postcards this coming year. Looking forward to seeing them out there, after having only self-published for several years. #nantucketlit #firstclassfiction […]

A #treeoftheday contender for your consideration. #treesofmastoson

I went in a little arts & crafts shop today, and wanted to return to pick something up later. "What time do you close today?" I asked the friendly shop man. "Um," He said, scratching his head. "What day is it?" "Um," I said, scratching my head. The clock ticked, while time stopped. "Sun […]

"Carbonated Swamp Warbler" sounds like something you drink when you visit New Orleans and then you don't remember the rest of the trip. But, it's actually one of a handful of birds that Audubon painted but no one can seem to find it anymore. A cryptid!

So this is why I rejoice when I see the ants again. When the bees return, and even maybe the mosquitos (some of them) and the shy beetles, and the gnats to tiny to name.

This thread is what my heart needed this morning. 💃🏻😂🍻 https://mastodon.social/@Leepvogel/115745082802139009
