Cambrian on my mind #sciart

I must have saved two or three hours of walking today using the ebike instead of a wheelbarrow to move gardening materials: I carry rocks away and install them wherever I see the shoulder of the road washing out, and I bring back fallen leaves to use for mulch.

Finally put my free-with-purchase Pierre de Ronsard/Eden in the ground. I put it next to the utility pole so hopefully I can train it like the Wikipedia image: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ro...

America did not meet the universal adult suffrage criteria of democratic governance until 1965. Gatorade is the exact same age as American democracy.

When I first read about ancient, barely mobile nonnas travelling hundreds of kilometers just to spit on Mussolini's dangling, naked corpse, it baffled me, a little. I didn't really grasp how someone could be driven to that kind of rage. Well,

Kogera/pygmy woodpecker may be moving into one of the houses!

Had only two sales this month so if you could check out my shop or ko-fi or boost this, that'd help a lot! thanks anaisfae.art/shop ko-fi.com/anaisfae

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold & are not clothed. ...Spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." - Gen. Eisenhower

I SAW WILD MANDARIN DUCKS RIGHT BELOW ME ON THE RIVER!!! Unfortunately they were too shy to photograph in time. I left my luggage at the bus lockers and I'm walking up to the house luxuriously baggage-free, will retrieve it by bike later.

That moment when they realize they're on camera #birds

That moment when you, a queen, come across another queen, and discuss how best to maximise your joint slay

Getting ready to head up to Toyama for the April work shift and I'm *dead*, but I think the amount of prepwork will yield sanity-preserving QoL improvements. God willing I'm not too exhausted to hike up to the house from the bus.

William Butler Yeats gazing in the direction of Bethlehem:

The beautiful preservstion of trilobite compound eyes will never cease to amaze me. On this little 400ish million year old Phacops you can see all the little lenses - each one a rigid calcite mineral crystal! Together they had excellent 360° vision, perfect for finding lunch on the seafloor.

"Tits or ass?" bro the fire in her soul that refuses to be extinguished

TIL you can identify gemstones by conductivity!

I think this might be the first centaur animation I have ever seen where the human torso emulates the balance of a horse's neck instead of a human rider's upper body, it looks so nice and balanced!

Your periodic reminder that there is a website that lets you listen to local radio stations anywhere in the world This is honestly one of the coolest inventions ever, imo. Global access to hyper-local imagined communities

Some YA fantasy authors who to my knowledge have never funded an attempted trans genocide: Terry Pratchett Diana Wynne-Jones Garth Nix Suzanne Collins Susan Cooper Phillip Pullman Rick Riordan Pierce Brown Sheri S. Tepper V. E. Schwab Rachel Hartman Alex Pheby Alan Garner Ursula Le Guin And more!

SINFUL!!!!!

Which month are you? ✨👒

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

we already have "houses", it's called the DSM-V

People are taking unusual measures to the thwart the scourge of AI

Prebaking crusts for homemade frozen pizza. The big bucket of whole wheat flour has been improved by the addition of a packet of extra gluten (had to go to the specialty baking shop yesterday anyways for pectin 🙃), the new dough can be stretched much thinner.

Six pieces of a shop update on Thursday 3/26 at 11am Pacific! Most of it about sea life in some way. Leslielevings.bigcartel.com

smug about laying a second egg today

I'm glad I made that fancy tea for Valentine's day so I have the confidence and proven logistical ability to cook 2 weeks' worth of food from scratch to bring to the kitchenless Toyama house with me. Sticking to my New Years resolution! No more retort pouch food!

Trying to decide if I should invest in a solar array for the porch roof or an inline turbine for the mountain water hose. Turbine would benefit from the crazy 200ft head height and do 12kW/h in all weather, but debris in the line is a problem and I don't know about hydropower.

This has been an issue for a few years. Please keep it in mind this year!

In the latest Japanese food poverty update, none of the stores within 20km of me carry pectin for jam-making anymore. Since they enshittified the cheap jam at Gyomu I've been making my own with whatever's on the expired produce cart, but the grocery cartel has put an end to that, I guess!!!

unfriendly reminder that jkr donated £70k that went towards the changing of actual law in the u.k to define what a woman is and isn't. if you're at all a harry potter fan still despite all this, then i urge you to get the fuck over it and quickly

Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #tricolour , birds with three colours or more. The alt is #YearRound birds you see all year round. Good luck. #birds #photography #ECK

Rehabbers are brilliant

I had my greatest anime merchandise idea yet: Mushishi wind chimes.

BREAKING: DUCKLINGS FOUND, BECOMING TOO LORGE TO HIDE UNDER MAMA! Will quote post with some more videos and stills. Incredible 1.5 hour long session at sunset! 🪶 🐣

This is Luke, named by a Chicago birding friend for his leucistic beauty. 😊 Luke knows he's the coolest looking dude in town. #birds

Here's your moment of zen: A "holy" cat named Coco stands at the entrance of a church in Mexico, seemingly blessing everyone who walks in 🐱

My sister's urban fantasy novel has received more feedback in 72 hours than I got on all of my cosplay, total, in person and online, in 10+ years of work.

Parrot feeling happy with his tray of fruits and nuts. But also eying that fly. Protein! From Georg Flegel, 1630, whose day is today.

Permacultural thoughts while cycling to the city and back: I wonder if I could get sugi needles to compost faster by innoculating them with spoiled rice bran. You can get rice bran for free out of the polishing machines, people use it for pickling and chicken feed but there's always extra.

The tree has been decorated. Bohemian waxwings. 🪶

I don't think the banana made it but the ¥800 Komeri plum bonsai did! They sell these for New Years decorations but thjs one languished unsold and covered in aphids and scale until last June, I wanted to give it a chance.

Took out my Organization XIII coat which I so lovingly customized for comfort and range of motion (extra gores, powermesh underarm gussets + vent under hood) to look at it for the first time in five years and half of the pleather is delaminating :(((((
