It would be lovely to get this bed done today before all my seedlings die a horrible death. :) #gardening

#3dprinting The #bonsai pot for my Blue Star Jasmine is done, but we're not! LIVE streaming our Deathstar! The top half of an Imperator will take about 3 hours. #scifi #starwars www.twitch.tv/moderator/tu...

I shall share no tribute and no fond farewell to the pope who reigned over a completely corrupt system of abuse and bigotry. Don't let the door hit you on the way out because I don't want to clean the door.

#3dprinting #bonsai Oval bonsai pot design of Cults3d by Manticorp. Looks like the first layer is going to go down without ripping! still a few eye twitching adhesion issues! LIVESTREAMING NOW www.twitch.tv/tuxramus and www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JPH...

This jumpscare brought to you by...me. It was entirely my fault. I put Bones out of the way this afternoon and forgot about him until I went past the recording room to bed. : facepalm:

#3dprinting #succulents both pots turned out lovely, though the beige pot on the left had far less stringing and better points on top. I love that I have a matching set for my succulents!

#bonsai #3dprinting Got this pot printed last night. Tidied it up and put a Scots pine in it. For once, I am happy with my design work. :D It's well watered and back down in the yard now. Hopefully it survives the torture of the root trim process! :D

#cooking A rooster tried to take out an old lady dozens of times. It probably would have made a spectacular wild chicken. I offered to "rehome" the chicken into my freezer and the old lady was incredibly grateful. After all night slow cooking, I'll get 5 meals out of one badly behaved bird!

#writing Did you know, a cicatrix is a healed scar. "His cicatriced shoulders were still broad if a little shrunken from the wasting sickness."

I feel so guilty. I'm gonna have to frighten her away when I get in the car in a minute. #wildlife

A real Irish treat for #Saintpatricksday :D

By the light of the moon, we gather. For food, for friendship, for a picture. Our neighbor graces our gatherings with a soft, memorable presence. When you see the moon, remember the hugs, the words, the acceptance, and the love that goes with it all.

In a general price comparison search, I happened to click on Walmart for my "Laptop" search. This is the result. :sigh:

Nice job Firefly Aerospace! I hope your lander enjoys its stay on our moon :D Kudos to all the scientists and engineers that gave you this success!

#hamradio Tag @seniorusn.bsky.social With a 92%! :) Can't wait for my call sign :D

Okay, I'm a little freaked out. My financial luck has been so good today I am a little afraid to touch anything in case I break it. Brought my car in for sensor replacement, they didn't charge me. Replaced my auto insurance and it was half of what I was paying. This is scary good.

Dear Dodge, Ragging on self driving cars was exactly the wrong way to advertise to me. I hate driving and will take anything that will make it easier. Fuck off.

Oh boy. :pinches the bridge of her nose: Breathe in....let it out slowly....put down the baseball bat. All day. No FCC site, no FRN. No FRN, no #hamradio test. I can't even register until I get this number and the site hovers between this, and looking like th 1980's called.

For everyone in #coosbay #Oregon You will want to avoid #walmart for a few days. They're redoing floors and it is a complete shitshow in there. It's loud, you can't get to anything and they're out of everything you CAN get to. We should just let them do their job and stay the fuck out of the way.

#scifi #macrodiae #tidbits #writingcommunity The ARQ: A constantly updating data error collection within Turtle’s computer core. It would probably be easier to tell you all the errors that the database does NOT have.

#writing #writingcommunity #scifi Here is a tip for making your scifi more realistic. Go through this Ham Radio study material. It's taken me about a week. Free! :) hamstudy.org

Tell me a one line story about this picture :D #writing #writingcommunity

#writing #editing Giving a sentence impact! From this: "Djon smiled. An honest, genuine smile that Edward could feel joy in." to this: "Djon smiled. The expression so filled with honesty reached out from her and touched Edward, warming him from the inside out."

What interesting or odd things have you researched for your #writing? I just looked up how to whistle with my fingers. www.youtube.com/shorts/7ZTNJ...

Heading into Brandywine in #LOTRO on Linux tonight! Streaming live. www.twitch.tv/tuxramus #LinuxGaming 🧙‍♂️ 🐧

Apparently, I write fantasy most like Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery. Interesting! #writing #fantasy #writingcommunity markallenthornton.com/blog/who-do-...

Guilty pleasures: I love #writing terraforming theories for my #scifi. What's your favorite fictional theory? :D
