Maybe the Bugonia ending could really come true…don’t get me fantasizing

The entrelac blanket is done! I haven’t measured it or blocked it yet (so that it hangs nicely), but it’s a large lap blanket

Howeara Lava Burst ‘Pacific Sunrise’ orchid is blooming wheeee

Merry Christmas! Tommy the California Scrub Jay visited today

Made a ball of cordage out of California fescue

Red shouldered hawk…god is good. I don’t want the sun to explode just yet or maybe just for humans

Looking forward to the day the sun dies

In the middle of retrellising the begonia

What’s been recently on my phone that’s not a pic

Getting better at sketching with my animation class. I do hope I pass this class (seen some people who go through it 3x, but I think most people give up on class 1), but I guess it’s okay if I don’t since I do see improvement in my what I’ve learned, so I don’t think I’m hopeless

I think I’ve learned everything about Larry Summers I could so far, but I need to know more about how idiotic & awful he is because I need to confirm my beliefs that people are created stupid and also equal which is why we shouldn’t have god-kings and why I should steward trees, make endless stews,

Drawing of Gregg Turkington by Atom Ellis I saw a couple of days ago. It was really crazy how there was no title or anything, and I just knew it was him. For some reason I posted this on Reddit on a throwaway account too

Man it’s crazy when people try to be funny and it’s not purely a coping mechanism of any kind

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

saying "capitalism is good, capitalism is right, capitalism works" as they set fire to me inside the wicker man

Wired is out! Cool Zone Media (and Better Offline), Kill the Computer, Tech Won’t Save Us, Trashfuture, Blood in the Machine, Citation Needed, 404 Media remain the MVPs. It’s all in the name…

I’m trying to eat mostly vegan (after reading about dairy cows, etc), and it’s mostly been easy-ish after figuring out a yogurt I liked (Forager yogurt). I would like vegans to be MORE annoying so that I can keep myself on the path, but it feels like vegans are scarcer now and less annoying

Just updating to say that I’m playing McDonald’s Monopoly a lot (thanks to Griffhorse podcast). I ended up spending $$$ though buying a guy a meal (he was going to up to everyone and asking for food), and I forgot to use my account to buy it. I could have had more Monopoly codes…

It’s lowrider time

Gonna touch native prairie grasses 24/7 from now on

Sweet smelling begonia flowers (Begonia ‘Hannah Serr’)

Turning heads…

This was on my iPad I guess I made it, but I don’t really remember much when making it Dang!

Stella the cat eats grass

Bluesky definitely could improve, and people are weird and stupid, but I just wanna post bird pics and stuff in a morally neutral-ish place and don’t care to be tethered to any online place anymore. It’s sad and boring that I don’t like being online anymore, but that’s just what it’s gonna be

In Scrub Jay News, Tommy and Lila have brought a new friend, who is a juvenile and their child!

Getting slowly better…I love to calculate the time it takes to animate anything, and it’s like 10 hours for 4 seconds, and each hour makes me want to tear my hair to shreds

The California scrub jay couple has come back after almost a year away, and I gave them peanuts today

“Crawling in my skin” is a great line describing a person’s addiction, anxiety, fear, whatever This is a stupid thought I got from feeling like an anxiety skin suit got pulled on me

Went to livejournal (which I deactivated a long time ago) and remembered how I used to care so much if someone followed me back or not, and now I don’t really care because I’m Denethor, and I looked into the palantir too much which depressed me

I now have a movie log where I write down the movies I watch, so I don’t write about them here anymore. I liked these movies from July-ish, though: Shifty (Adam Curtis), Eddington, Pee-wee as Himself, and I especially liked Life is Sweet and am excited/scared to watch more Mike Leigh movies

I enjoyed my first animation class. I’m glad I am taking it, actually

This was really good, and I recommend it. It made me feel better somehow, even if it made me feel like a semi parasocial freak. I saw a really dim light at the end of a really narrow tunnel

Small Hoya rotundiflora is starting to bloom Slight scent, sweet. I don’t normally like a lot of flower scents because they’re often too strong for me, but this is nice. It’s light and refreshing, and I have to sniff it a lot because I keep thinking I might be imagining the smell

This is a blurry pic of a stick insect that I’ve seen out my window for a couple of weeks. I didn’t realize it was an insect until a few days ago when I noticed a leg. I thought it was dead, but then I saw it later on another stem. now I don’t know where it’s gone, but cool to have seen it

People were acknowledging that 2015 Katy Perry was maybe the pinnacle of American Empire, so it is kind of fitting that she might be dating Justin Trudeau….

most graphic design looks bad to me because in that end I just want to see something sincere, and most of the time it feels manipulative and evil This is so sincere I love it

Feeling like in 20 years maybe I’ll join an orchid society I’m not that into orchids yet I’m a generalist I went to an orchids show today, and it was fun they are so serious Being serious about stuff is nice sometimes Anyway, I didn’t take any pics of the show Here’s a begonia flower

Got better pics of a dark eyed junco mowing down some sunflower microgreens

Sketches for about 2.5 weeks

Begonia ‘Hannah Serr’ is blooming. Flowers are small and cute and sometimes hard to see

There are two rats who keep knocking dirt all around every night, and they made a big mess yesterday, but at least this yellow dahlia bloomed amidst it all

Dark-eyed junco eating some sunflower seeds (for microgreens)

Two more things in flower: African violets (grown from Nadeau African Violet Seeds) and Cotyledon pendens

Boox Palma 2 (reading Paris Marx’s Road to Nowhere on it…it’s nice that the ereader is small), Traveler’s notebook (felt bad for buying leather, and made some weird deal in my head to eat vegan for two weeks), Absolution by Jeff Vandermeer (I really liked the Southern Reach trilogy)

Begonia now has lil pink-red flowers

How the entrelac blanket’s going
