I always let some goldenrod do its thing in my yard because it's great for the autumn pollinators. And it is NOT rag weed.

It's so cool that pixel is throttling my battery "because they were overheating" and isn't producing new ones for the 6. Now I will have to get a new phone when a new battery would have been fine. But of course, this is what they want. Planned obsolescence is cool and good. What fun we're having

On the days when I work at home I always end the day super fucking upset that I did not finish all the things. It's literally impossible to finish all the things but I still am mad that I haven't.

So just read this article about an autism genetic study and while I'm very happy this research is being done it leads in a direction I've been suspecting for a while now, which is that we have almost no understanding of what autism is. www.scientificamerican.com/article/four...
There Are at Least Four Types of Autism, Researchers Find
Autism has at least four subtypes, an analysis of more than 5,000 children’s genes, traits and developmental trajectories has shown

Happy Canada Day! It's not perfect but I'm still glad to be a Canadian. Here's me and @jedcawthorne fighting at Deed of Alms a few years ago. You can come out and watch us at 11 AM , Bickford park, on Sunday July 6th and donate to help support refugees and unhoused! #canadian #medieval #knight

Medieval and bronze age spearrings. I wear my medieval pair all the time but I have to say I quite like both. Each one is based on an extant spearhead from the time period.
You can see them in person a Toronto outdoor art fair. July 11/13 I'll be at booth 74 in zone A

My cat Iris passed away in 2023 and we buried her in the garden. In the spring I planted irises around where she was. This is how they are doing. It's a wonderful testament to her memory each spring.

That terrible moment when you're excited to go sit in the garden with the excellent novel by @phokion.bsky.social you've been reading, and then you remember that you already finished it 😭

One of our most prized possessions is our long handled medieval repro fry pan. Much of our cooking couldn't be as tasty without it.
