Thanks #costco. Great job. Today's word of the day is "#Ovenable."

Happy Friday, people of my phone! A smol bee who is just chilling, doing their best to gather some pollen. The enormous #dahlia isn't cooperating. Queen gets a dollar, they get a dime, all that. Think we can all relate, except that for many of us we're […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

"Going into the woods, is going home." - John Muir #foxgloves are one of my favorite plants, a seasonal treat where I live. It's always nice to meet new fronds. #johnmuir #bloomscrolling #awalkaday #flowers #ferns #fiddlehead

Hey humans, HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! Hope y'all get up to all sorts of whatever gay shenanigans you enjoy. In other news, a few photos of #plants from walking this past weekend. Stay kind, folks. Cheers. #awalkaday #nature #pine #wildflowers #macrophotography #bloomscrolling

How about some #UnsolicitedNoods up in dis scroll, eh? Say what you will about random food pictures, this #ramen is still better than whatever fascist crap is going on today. Today's bowl of beefy flavor includes broccoli, kelp, scallions, bits of diced spam […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Met a charming little #caterpillar today on my walk that surprised me by sticking his little head up towards the camera to say Hi. Hello, smol friend. #awalkaday #tigermothcaterpillar #caterpillars #insects #moths #nature

Another page from #thedailystoic That seemed worth sharing. Go do that thing you've been meaning to do. Today. Kindly. #stoicism #philosophy #seneca #marcusaurelius #meditations #goodtrouble

There's a well-known joke that folks in the #PacificNorthwest need to buy a new pair of #sunglasses every year because they lose them in the ~9ish months between summers. ...I have lived in western #washington for almost 35 years. This is the first time in […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Good morning humans! My wife's #irises continue to celebrate this time of year. The black and yellow one is my favorite, called a bumble bee. Stay safe out there, the world can be a rough place sometimes. #bloomscrolling

just me going through my camera roll from my walk home in the rain this morning like wait am i ok 😅

Good afternoon, fellow humans! In the beginning, there was void. The void was pretty chill. Then some stuff happened. Much of that stuff was decidedly unchill, but it happened anyway and now we are where we are. Today there are #UnsolicitedNoods. Who knows […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A few flowers from today's walk; #speedwell, a #starflower plant, and a #rhododendron with a neat speckling pattern. Cheers friends. #bloomscrolling #wildflowers #awalkaday #nature

Love it when the little #cottonwood fluffs make it look like snow in #summer. Stay safe out there humans. #bloomscrolling #awalkaday #nature #pnw

Guys, I really like #salal. It grows all over the place in the #pnw also, which is great. Happy Friday, humans. Go find something that makes you smile. #awalkaday #bloomscrolling #wildflowers #herbrobert #stinkybob

The snail. The myth. The legend. Silliness aside, I found a cool #snail while out on a walk today. Actually I'm not sure what snails do with one foot; "walking" seems the wrong word. Ambulating. Let's say we were both ambulating and leave it there. #snails […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

There's something magical about a walk in light rain; a sense of intimacy, a note of vulnerability. Sharing a couple small discoveries from today. Stay safe. #moths #mothstodon #bloomscrolling #nature #awalkaday #carpetmoth #starflower

Continuing to appreciate #TheDailyStoic as a desk reader. I'm leaving yesterday's page here for your consideration accordingly. The older I get, the now I appreciate that being #kind is one of the most impactful ways to make the world a better place. Our […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Three fleurs from today's walk. Gorgeous day. Be kind, fellow humans. #awalkaday #bloomscrolling

I've been thinking about this global climate change thing, and I might be on to something: Maybe we've been wrong to keep storing things "in the cloud" all the time. With all that data in there, the clouds don't seem able to handle as much moisture as they used to, resulting in more hot air […]

My wife's #irises are starting their annual show. #bloomscrolling #iris #bulbs #gardening

Good afternoon strangers! Have a #butterfly. Breathe a bit. They aren't around for too long so savor the discovery, the intersection of your disparate lives. Be kind. #insects #butterflies #awalkaday #paintedlady #paintedladybutterfly #nature #pnw

[Uhhh, bug sex I guess?] Not sure what you were expecting. Not sure what *I* was expecting. Spotted a neat little #fly or something crawling around on a #dandelion and then another one showed up and they started to get intimate. But sure if they're #flies […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

[Shirtless dude and a cat] Got to hang out in the backyard with #demothecat this weekend. We both love relaxing in the sun. Stay kind, humans! #catsofmastodon #catstodon #pets

A few flowers from today's walk. A happy thing. #rhododendrons and #bleedinghearts as well as a third that I'm not certain of. The Internet seems to think it's a #bergenia. #bloomscrolling #awalkaday

#bleedinghearts and #lilacs are putting on a great show in the backyard this year. A good time to breathe deep. Stay safe, humans. #bloomscrolling

Elected officials? Unqualified. The future? Unknown. Noods? Unsolicited. Today's bowl used a beef base, with lots of scallions, kale, broccoli, radishes, cilantro, as well as a can of smoked oysters. I even threw in some leftover lima beans! #ramen #unsolicitednoods

I'll say it. None of this would have happened if we as a society had actually taken the time and effort to prosecute video for killing the radio star. We all knew about it. We did nothing. And now we have only ourselves to blame.

[Pizza] My local pizza place (#PizzaPizzaz) in #federalwaywa has a new box art! Bomb #pizza if you're in the area, their house-made ranch is 🔥. #foodporn

#til that the word OVERRIDE predates computers. Reading through #tolkien's #thetwotowers: "...leaping back into the saddle, [Aragorn] rode away for some distance eastward, keeping to one side and taking care not to #override the footprints." Conceptually, horses/tracking have been around for […]

Bought some #sake the other day and it came in this awesome little #bottle! Now to figure out what to *do* with the cool bottle...

A charming little ant, carrying a dandelion seed. Cheers friends. #ants #mosstodon #awalkaday #dandelions

"It's called _vibe plumbing_. I'm not even a plumber. Soon, all swimming pools will be done this way! Get onboard or get left behind." (a real life version of the 'vibe construction' comic from https://mandatoryrollercoaster.com/). Photo taken from plumbers fails)

Good morning humans! The #cherries and #lilacs are blooming around here. That is a grand thing. Breathe deep. #bloomscrolling #awalkaday

Good evening, Internet. Be kind, and seek your quiet power. #awalkaday #bloomscrolling #sakura #cherryblossoms #cherry #flowers

Found a neat #slimemold and a cluster of fungi out on a walk the other day. #fungiverse #mushtodon #nature #mushrooms #fungi #mosstodon

Black Cloak = #dementor "" + Scythe = #grimreaper "" + Sword = #ringwraith "" + Scream Mask = #ghostface "" + Pasty White Guy = #emperorpalpatine This probably presents a higher barrier to entry for pop culture than is ideal.

Happy #caturday from #demothecat and #goblinthecat. They hate each other, but still occasionally share a bed with their hooman between them. #cats #petstodon #catsofmastodon #fedicats

[Bread Penis, not horrific, probably sfw] I tried to bake a sourdough loaf with a dick on it. You're welcome. #baking #sourdough

Happy #bloomscrolling, internet humans! Have a little #trillium, as a treat. #flowers #awalkaday

[Trump, Epstein, humor or something] "They're still talking about Epstein, sir." "Let's go to war! That will shut them up!" "We've tried war, sir. At least twice." "How about aliens?" "That too. Didn't work." "... maybe if we declare war ON the aliens?" #fucktrump #releasetheepsteinfiles

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Bit of a walk down memory lane when I saw this box at the grocery store yesterday: When I was a kid, my dad started eating these at his doctor's urging, since they're higher in fiber and generally considered healthier than many other cereals. They're also […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

[Photo of chicken offal] Guess who gets to try a chicken spleen tonight? Randomly found in my tub of livers. #offal #organmeat #chicken #cooking

A smol fleur from today's walk. Chin up, find your sun. #bloomscrolling #awalkaday #cherryblossoms

The eagles nesting on the cell tower near my office appear very focused on the nest lately. I'm guessing they've got eggs or smol eagles up there. Apologies for the low resolution, it's very distant and my camera is also my phone. Cheers friends. Stay safe. #awalkaday #eagles #nesting #birds

Our hummingbird is back! Good morning, hummingbird. #bloomscrolling #hummingbird #birds #redcurrent

Nice little things from today's walk. The larger world seems to kind of suck these days; it's comforting to focus on a smaller scale. Stay safe humans. #bloomscrolling #ants #awalkaday #nature #flowers #trees
