I engineer software. I am a librarian, (and teach them, too). I studied DNA and genetics for a bit. I'm a textile artist and serial hobbyist. That's enough for now.

Stuff is happening in the world. But also, I made a duck.

Post a pic of you that’s not actually you.

I’m gonna need a bigger tote bag than the one I made in 2017.

Teaching for the second half of the semester starts Tuesday, which means this is a time of extreme busyness. So of course I'm working on my little indoor garden.

Holy ever-loving Toledo. This is the dystopia of ignorance we’re actually living in.

Fighting despots one seedling at a time.
Two hydroponic gardens with lettuce and tomatoes in them, and one seed tray full of seedlings and one pot with one seedling and grow lights and a fan.

You've likely heard of a "Victory Garden". Yesterday I started my "Despot Defiance" garden. Tomatoes, lettuce, and herbs to start. More to come!

I planted mine yesterday... Lettuce, tomatoes, and herbs to start. More when the weather is warmer and I can start to transplant.

I mean, this seems like a super cool idea. But c'mon, it's not the water, it's the lye. Sounds like they're basically turning you into a super-diluted liquid soap. And I have no problem with that. Here's the book I use when I'm choosing wacky fats to make soap with:
A page from an old chemistry book showing the specific gravity, solidifying point, saponification value, iodine value, and Hehner's number of dozens of natural oils and waxes, including human fat.

Dinner with @siegel.bsky.social was surprisingly awesome.
The open kitchen pass at Hell's Kitchen, with the big HK logo. Plates on a wood table, fine dining, miso cod in a white sauce, salmon with a lime, sides of broccolini, mushrooms, and Mac and cheese, water glasses, and empty cocktail glasses.

If you see this post, quote with a bridge from your gallery.
