queer cat person. nerding out on plants, insects, sci-fi & whatever else grabs my brain and won't let go. mad for moths, loopy for leafminers, & giddy about galls (pfp - Lorquin's admiral)

based on this clip I'd assume a 50% rate of toxicity.

The classic black and white Holstein-cat certaintly seems toxic. However, the Scottish Highland-cat appears to polite -- perhaps even a bit shy?

I like the Joey Santore rototiller site prep method, but it's prob not where you want to go with established desirable veg in ground.

any route you go, it's a pain in the ass 🫡

I'd suggest weed whipping it to knock down some biomass, then selectively weeding. as I'm sure you know, any little bit of rhizome left behind will rocket up.. so go deep, get em out ans intact as you can

rhizomatous non-native grasses are an absolute nightmare, signed your friendly habitat restoration person.

I don't have experience with bahia. but I did spend six yrs trying to remove bermuda from a spot using non-chemical methods.

it's important to accept that sometimes you can't get the best outcome or even any potential good outcome, and be able to make peace with hoping for the funniest bad outcome

the issue I've seen raised is that Bluesky banned Sıngal for doxxing. They changed the TOS policy re doxxing and unbanned him. If true, that's pretty ick.

(caveat -- I am not sure how one could verify/refute this claim)

yup, definitely magic!

dumb not-an-artist Q: with bilateral symmetry/dorsal view/digital drawing, could you draw 1/2 the image and have the program mirror it?

or would that perfect symmetry end up looking "wrong?"

Bluesky's multi-millionaire CEO changed the site's TOS in order to unban a prominent transphobe. Users have questioned this, and asked for this to be reversed. These requests have been ignored.

Recently, the CEO has replied to Qs - by posting memes and being rude/dismissive.

mushrooms are delicious. but I'm gonna buy em from a business. I don't wanna tromp thru nature to find food that might kill me.

I'll tromp thru nature to look at bugs and plants and fungus.. but I'm not taking any of it home

sitting in a diner with endless coffee in big thick mugs is the best way to read the Sunday paper

but I could see where a newspaper on the train could be quite nice
