Happy early birthday!

Hello and welcome!

Our Maeko cries a bunch when she loses track of us too.

I dig it, thanks for introducing me to them!

This was a fun listen, thanks!

Going pretty well so far! A friend reached out this morning to see if I would be interested in receiving some plants from her (yes) so in the near future I’ll get to go hang out with an amazing person, and will get to grow some new plants with which I have no experience.

And I’m giving an introductory talk about biochar at my town library this evening, which will hopefully be a bunch of fun for everyone. I couldn’t come up with as many biochar puns as I did for my compost presentation, so I’m leaning on memeing for levity:

I have no idea how attendees will react to these, as most of them are retirees.

Our solo duckling is still solo, which is concerning at this stage. That said, there has been a lot of co-nesting and additional shuffling of eggs between hens which likely impacted incubation. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for more chances to shove pictures of ducklings in y’all’s feeds

Have a great week everybody!

Definitely giving the camera the stink eye

The bros in question:

Dammit, here you go ⬆️

My personal feelings on this:

youtube links should be accompanied by links to alternative front ends like piped.video for those who are yt-averse, but that it is okay for the canonical yt link to be included for those who wish to interact with the poster’s channel. I think I have a preference for the piped.video link to be the post link and for yt links to be included in the body, but am fine with peertube links being the post link.

If there are accompanying documents, such as the slide deck I’ll be using tomorrow evening, those should also be linked - it’s my feeling that posts of this nature should be viewed as resources for the community. In my particular case, I’m happy to share both the shared file in my gdrive but also a .pptx file on an accessible filesharing site (especially if there is a consensus on which are most preferable from privacy and accessibility standpoints).

It is an expectation that folks posting their channels or videos engage with the community in other ways as well and are not spammy

There is an issue with the claim in the first paragraph which immediately set off alarms. While it doesn’t hurt the argument for interpersonal respect, such a claim doesn’t support the point the author is trying to make. This reader found it interesting that the writer chose not to employ capital letters for the second person pronouns in the piece.

This reader also has Webster’s, Roget’s, The Harbrace Handbook, The American Spelling Book, and Washington’s Rules of Civility together on the shelf, for some context. Some portion of the neurodivergent population (such as the person here) cling to these conventions for a sense of security when interacting with others in a written format and no offense or slight is intended. Please assume good faith when interacting with the people on Beehaw.

Just sent you a dm, but I’d like to respond here to let other Beeple know that if they’re based in the US they should send us a quick message if they like milkweed

There’s a distinct possibility I’ve spent two years planting and splitting them on the undeveloped side of our street in addition to the ones for our customers and us.

“Your honor, my client does not possess the funds to continue this trial, so we have crafted an offer to the plaintiffs: in lieu of compensating them for the hundreds of watches that have gone missing from their inventory, we admit no wrongdoing and they will be offered stock in his watch making company should he ever start one”

Maybe there’s a word we could apply to situations where a group of people make plans to carry out an activity that is not legal for personal gain

Well here’s another for you then! They got eepy

This immediately comes to mind

What a gorgeous picture! I adore asparagus in the fern stage

Thanks! Another great thing about them is that they are a great forage plant for native bees during the late summer into autumn.

Great job you two!

Wood gasifiers seem like such a neat project, but much of ours comes from heating our home in the winter
