home of the pitch drop
i've heard folks are already having trouble accessing their #antidepressants, and at this point there's a fair amount of research into the efficacy of #microdosing

if anyone has questions about the practical aspects of microdosing to mitigate #depression as a backup plan, my dms are open 🤙🏻

Thank you @andrewti.bsky.social for teaching us a fun way to waste AI money 😎

Been asking #chatgpt to tell me jokes all day. They're all the same corny shit you'd find in a joke book.

#AI cannot replicate humor.

saw this on the reanimated corpse of tiktok & had to check it out myself.

#kanye is making it super clear what he's about. and folks who claim his behavior is just mental illness maybe need to pipe down 🤷🏼‍♂️

An essential in my first aid kit, coconut oil & pine resin.

If I snag my cuticle, or if I annoy my cat & she bites me, or if I've got an ingrown hair, this is what I reach for.

There's not much money in it, so research is limited. But try it for yourself 💁🏼‍♂️

It's late, just now catching up.

Apologies if we're posting too much.
With everything that's going on, it's hard to avoid.

It's not possible to keep up on all the mail we get, so please be patient. We're putting out fires as fast as we can.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Pitch drop sitch today.

(last drop was on the 6th)

most recent previous drop is settling into the big pile on the bottom.

last drop snapped clean off & clinked against the jar, but in warmer months the thread holding things together stretches like pizza cheese.

i collected hundreds of acorns this fall. some went to making flour, but most were saved to germinate.

i've got ~80 seedlings dormant rn, grown last year (survived my initial poor management).

from left to right: white oak, pin oak, red oak

on 3/20/24 i began my own version of the "pitch drop," a longterm observational study on the flow rate of pine pitch.

~58g of pitch, each drop weighs ~.15g, current rate is about 1 drop/5wks. flow rate is decreasing as volume/weight decreases (other data sets show this too).
