Recently finished pieces. First is a mounted abalone in silver wire. Second a nugold (I think, it was actually started a while back) ring with a rolled imprint.

Did some harvesting today: southern greens, chives, green beans aplenty, lettuce, perilla (stacked is probably 4+ inches), tomatoes, a squash and potatoes.

Garden shot for today, 03-Aug-2025.

#gardensky #backyardgarden #sqftgarden
A backyard garden outlined with cinderblocks, various vegetables within, lined with marigolds in the little squares. Overlooking is Skelly the Skeleton Scarecrow, his personal allotment of strawberries hanging at each hand. Potatoes planted in 5 gallon buckets. Doing surprisingly well it seems. A skull planter hangs from a porch, a small wizard in its cranium while a flowering plant shoots from the center. A warning or welcome to those who walk by, depending on how much they appreciate the weird of life.

Some things old, some things new from the Detroit Festival of Books in Eastern Market. Really should set some ground rules when it comes to being around that many books, I'm already out of space...

Bonus on the Batmobile being there.

A stack of books acquired from the Detroit Festival of Books. Some new, some used classics. The classic batmobile from the 1960s series.

My garden today, 2025-Jul-19

#backyardgarden #garden #gardensky
Picture of a suburban garden, watched over by Skelly the Scarecrow. His ominesce gaze striking fear into those who would disrupt its splendor. Except the squirrels, they have no fear. A tomato plant with some pickable fruits. Overhead picture of a garden bed made from cinerblocks. Potato buckets sit in the distance wondering why they've been thrown out of the town square. Another overview of a garden bed, made from cinder blocks.

For duty, profit or fun, send your senators some amendments to enhance the BBB. A thread.

Dear Senator:
Propose an Amendment To Delay and Disrupt the Reconciliation Bill
Senate Republicans want to vote on their Medicaid-slashing, billionaire-enriching reconciliation bill this weekend, and that means a “vote-a-rama,” when senators can propose endless changes that their...

I know Bluesky is young but have we had a proper Vi vs Emacs flamewar here yet? Gif vs. Jif?
