Exploring, failing, backtracking, just to identify the only viable path forward. And then scarred, stumbling forward into the future. Learning.
Boring and steady. Knowing little and questioning a lot. Mostly harmless.

This is an experimental scrapbook space. A collection of stuff I want to keep in a form somewhere on the spectrum between a blog and a shoe-box full of scraps, cut-outs, quotes, links and reading notes and sometimes my own silly thoughts about them.
Perhaps it might be of marginal interest to others too, but I don't care that much.

This cartoon hits hard.
It hits even harder when you notice the 2007 publication date in the lower right corner.

I asked DALL-E 2 for "artist's impression of pleroma". It's pretty accurate, imo

Here's the second photograph in this series of posts showing the lifecycle of different berries.
Today, we're looking at the strawberry. As always, I hope you enjoy it.

Why a good vocabulary is useful in life. It's called "gueridon service."

Good morning to the home of “shockingly pretty pictures of wild birds”! Here’s a favorite bird pic of mine I took this fall of two Yellow-rumped Warblers arguing over some berries. The secret to making bird pictures really pretty though, is adding descriptions to them! #birds
I miss a feature at #QOTO / #mastodon to allow me to temporarily filter out certain topics (or at least hashtags) from my timeline to see what "else" happened. E.g., while I am flooded with JohnMastodon (which is fun of course) and all sorts of musk stuff, I would like to filter that out, just to easily see what else is going on in my timeline without endless scrolling.

AI Generated Images
Ran #JohnMastodon through one of the shitter, freer AI image generators and it went with some old Victorian dude who either invented some important piece of Public Sanitation or stole somebody's country.
