All in a day's work! Chopped down this ENORMOUS clump of invasive ginger, revealing a ginger root 8ft long, 4ft across! Also took out a huge ticket of himalayan raspberries, and planted 2 native milo trees in their place! #PlantNatives

The Mucuna Sloanei sea beans I've been looking after have finally started to produce seeds! I harvested a few today, some dry, some green. Need to see if green-picked seeds become viable after being dried. Some beetle damage on the fully dry ones. #PlantNatives

The view from our house is fire. Volcanic fire. xD Being 6mi from an active caldera has its benefits!

We're mostly moved in! Even brought the first few plants!

Little bug, little bug, where have you been? Not since last evening, your face I have seen! The sun went away, the light disappeared, You were gone forever, or so I had feared! 1/3

Very sad to learn that my first music teacher has gone full red hat cult. Very unexpected, as they're a POC. They inspired me to get into funk bass. They gave me my first stage concert opportunity. I still have the bass guitar I bought from them. I looked up to them. Now what? *sigh*

I can't believe I was once on a waiting list to get a Model 3. Original reasons we didn't get one: red turn signals (less safe than amber), uncertainty of charging after moving into a rental. New reasons: Musk is an oligarch, and now Musk is an open Nazi. I am so glad we put that decision off.

I know what's happening. I can't process it yet. I choose to think, and talk, about things that matter in my immediate future. Planting a garden, making my new catchment water supply safe, making sure my partner is healthy, and the move is successful. I will process, but slowly. E ola kākou.

This is the view from our new kitchen window. Mostly ‘ōhia and uluhe fern, with a bunch of himalayan ginger and raspberry that doesn't belong.

Installed gutter guards today. No more leaves in our catchment tank!!

Sometimes I think our black kitten Le‘a is still feral. She very much does not like being held. Then she surprises me with a few minutes of snuggle time. (14-year old boi Pucas on the other side of my arm is the snuggliest snuggler that ever snuggled.)

Want me to say it again? Ok. Stop fucking using generative AI to shit on generative AI. No, I don't give a fuck what the fucking disrespectful "Anne Frank" AI has to say about crypto. Why the fuck would you shit on her memory in that way? It's not funny and you are enabling that shit.

To KTA Supermarket, may I just say, in the finest language yet imagined by civilized people, "dis buggah ONO!!" Ate one for lunch, went back for 2 more - dinner and lunch the next day. Y U M M E H !

Going to check on my sea beans on the trail today, then my last in-person Hawaiian language class before we move 2 hours away. 😿

My dear lady asked me tonight "what, you can't drive and think at the same time?" No! They always told me "Don't think and drive!"

To the absolute bro that immediately said "buy it", when my hand hesitated over the bag of my favorite snacks at the store, I commend you. I didn't buy it, because it was nearly $10, but for that moment, you were the tiny devil on my shoulder. Also, CostCo has bags 5x that size for the same price.
