I really don't think I'm ever going to get over going from phones connected to the wall that my uncle could pick up in the other room to eavesdrop, to phones that were mobile! No chord! You can move away from the wall and now I can evesdrop on him with my boom box, to now I can have my pizza delivered to the spot I am standing in, plus it plays games and can answer any question I have within minutes. This is too much. I will never recover.

"I have three things I’d like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don’t give a shit. What’s worse is that you’re more upset with the fact that I said "shit" than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night."

Well done, 9th Circuit. Cities and towns cannot force unhoused people off the street. Solve it or leave them alone.
The last of the caterpillars we were sheltering has emerged from their chrysalis. Check out the retrotastic colorway on this buckeye spp. I guess it's time to go on a caterpillar hunt.

Oh, cool. The school superintendent that fired a whistleblower about Tulsa's rising illiteracy rates while dissing our "woke teachers" is now saying the Tulsa Massacre had nothing to do with race. Sure, dude. Nothing at all.

My pink oyster mushrooms. These are the same jar, but a few days apart, the pink fades as it ages. Also the same one that was releasing spores in my video. A single jar has so many changing landscapes to explore. Landscapes that kind of feel like they were designed by Georgia O'Keeffe.

Got it :). Pink oyster mushroom releasing spores. These are growing in a jar full of sterilized cardboard, helping me recycle all my stored up Amazon boxes.

I love my dawning golden years, the westward facing mindset of the setting sun. In some pagan traditions, this is the sun setting over the horizon of the ocean, the light of our life faces inward as we search our waters, our emotions, our life through the lens of meaning. I love listening to the music of my youth, as I think of what I thought I knew, of what I've learned, of lessons to pass to my children. I love watching spiderwebs comb through my hair as I gather the greys that count years.
Nature, science, and art are super cool. Terribly sorry for the stuff that doesn't fit.
