It's Sunday and that means it's time for another Featured Blueberry Guitar!
I can't play guitar. I've never seen a Blueberry guitar in real life. But I appreciate fine workmanship and beauty and these are definitely both!

But one of the pool noodles only nestles the pit and does not constrain it. That one is doing better and you can see the roots trying to emerge. (Roots not shown here, not enough hands to hold the seed and the camera.)

The trimmed avocado seed experiments:

Iโm not shy about admitting I thought this was goofy. Peeling the skin off the seed? And then slicing 0.5 cm off the bottom of the seed and a whole 1 cm off the top end? The only attractive part of this method was sitting the trimmed seed in about .5 inch of water in a little flat-bottomed dish and then covering the same to sit in (preferably) a warm-ish place.

Is a very useful thing
Without it, who knows?
@Florence Yep ITA. Like twitter was a decade or more ago. My adrenal gland is a lot less active here. LOL
There's so many states right now that have active antiLGBTQ bills being debated over, Churches and leaders speaking hate against us, but not one of them have a clue what it's like to live in this kind of fear. I stand for my sibling transfolk today, because we need to be heard, we need to be seen, and we need to be recognized for what we are. WE ARE HUMAN! Just like you! WE HAVE HEARTS! Just like you. We do not deserve to be treated this way. #LGBTQ
When I joined #CoSo, I did my intro and wished to post a photo of my cat, it came out sideways which annoyed me instantly. So I posted to say hello, rather grumpily by this time, and moaned about my sideways photo. Within seconds people came forward to explain how to post them the right way up (a tiny edit or crop will suffice) and all was well.
That kind, helpful welcome made me realise this was a different kind of space, not full of judgements but full of kindness.
It matters.
Domestic abusers are more likely to kill their partners if they have a gun AND more likely to become mass shooters. But because domestic abuse was widely accepted when the Second Amendment was ratified, a Trump judge says we canโt disarm alleged abusers. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/11/democratic-senate-majority-trump-biden-judges.html
I work in behavioral evaluation spaces. If your eyeballs are viewing Twitter, then you're helping Melon Husk.
Doesn't matter if you're blocking ads. Ads are just a tiny peice of how their algorithm exploits you. The rest of your behaviors are tracked and weaponized against you for profit. Every time you pause the scroll, it tells them more.
That happens on every social media platform except one. This one. #CoSoRocks
It's me. I'm the problem. I'm that person your mother warned you about! 'We all do well when we all do well' (Wellstone) #BLM #VoteBlue #Democracy #Cancer
