Ankle Moss (they/them)

By day, a mild mannered permaculture wierdo.
But by night, a mild mannered permaculture wierdo who's asleep.
Firm believer that nearly any problem can be solved with paracord, biochar, well-facilitated discussion, and/or the fall of capitalism.
This is what I got as an autistic with ALL the food sensory issues who basically eats like a toddler. There were only 3 or 4 foods on that whole list that weren't a "hell no" for me 😆

I keep getting stoned and buying more firewood rack brackets. I have enough to store ~15 cords of wood at this point, but they're so useful and the good ones all come from China. I tried the American knockoffs and they were flimsy as heck.

On a beach walk on Lake Michigan this weekend, I ran across a sand phenomenon I couldn't explain. I figured that if there's a "sand physics" corner of Bluesky you might be able to point me in the right direction.

Presenting the extremely butt-shaped puffball mushroom I just harvested out of my yard. 16oz mason jar for scale. #foraging #mycology

This is why I raise my own mealworms at home. So they don't interfere with my news consumption.

(Could I come up with a joke funny enough to justify posting? Not particularly. But how often are my three dozen bins of mealworms going to be relevant to the discourse?)

My home mealworm setup is expanding! I started in 2022 with 500 mealworms, and now the system produces tens of thousands every week. Which I'm still mostly giving away for free to people with chickens, because Doing A Business is not my strong suit. But still! Behold my mealworm army!

This week's nails. I kinda enjoy the contrast between my ability to do elaborate nail art and my complete inability to take care of my cuticles. It reassures me that I will never turn into a nail polish influencer.

Yeah, yours matches better with Scruffy's "L'Oreal" era

There should be social media shorthand for "hey, we have the same dog!"

But in the meantime, hey, we have the same dog!

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh

Much sympathy. I have yet to convince my spouse to go on a long distance train ride with me, despite repeatedly exposing him to this meme.

This week's nails. I've been wearing a lot of holo and flakey polished lately, so I went for some simple cremes for contrast.

Since quitting Pokemon Go, I've been using iNaturalist as a replacement outside phone game. It's not really gamified enough to scratch the "earn points and level up" itch, but it's helping me learn more local wildflowers. And occasionally giving me a sense of superiority when it can't ID yarrow.

We have a house in town that flies a "first responder" flag and my brain sees it as a pride flag every time I see it.

I do as much as I can in the woods without heavy equipment, because they are noisy, smelly, and enable the making of big mistakes quickly. That being said, there used to be about 40 stumps in this clearing, and a dude with a stump grinder took care of all of them in about three hours, so 👍

I refuse to buy an air conditioner, because I am a New Englander living in Michigan and "air conditioning is for pampered rich people" is burned deeply into my soul. But it's been too hot to sleep this week, so my concession to reality is making myself a cold water bottle to stick under my pillow.

Wild strawberries are starting to bloom! I see them bloom every year, and I tell myself that I'm going to keep tracking them until there are berries to harvest, but I tend to forget they're there once there aren't flowers to remind me, so I've never actually seen a berry. #foraging

My spouse says this week's nails look like the logo/sigil of a secret organization, but we haven't been able to decide on which one. The slightly wobbly X-Men? (Which I assume to be a group of X-Men who organized with the IWW but don't take it that seriously.)

My streak of "my bike hauls more than your pickup truck" continues.
April 30, 2024 at 1:54 AM
Today I made a brush storage bay out of sticks and paracord, getting me one small step closer to my supervillain dream of organizing all of the sticks in the woods.

The trees just leave them lying haphazardly all over the place! It's downright uncouth 🥸

My dog found a truly amazing smell in the woods. He rolled in it six or eight times to make sure he could truly capture its essence. Sadly, his humans did not appreciate his artistic expression, and he is being persecuted for his art.

This week's nail art is beetle-themed. It came out pretty much the way I planned, with the beetles looking like little jewels. Next time I think I'd go for more beetles/nail.

My dog is a reverse Velveteen Rabbit. He's a real dog, but he just wants to spend all day being a stuffed animal.

This week's nail art is woodland themed. Ideally I would have included a broader swath of the ecosystem, but I was working with a limited range of stamping plates.
