Just a reminder, not only am I not going to see your devastatingly clever response that will surely put me in my place when you immediately block me, neither is anyone else, since you just nuked the whole conversation.

Everyone throws Luddite around like a slur and acts like AI replacing their employees is a bygone conclusion and then there’s Milton Hershey, starting building projects during the Great Depression to create jobs and when told the steam shovel does the work of 40 men, “to hire 40 men instead”.

We have a copper-bottom sauce pan that had somehow developed a bulge on the bottom and wouldn't sit level.
So I hit it with a mallet.
It's level now.

Thread with many kitten pictures.
On a more cheerful note: Guess who turned 1 year old today?!!! (At least by shelter records, which are approximations, lol.)
My angry little murder baby, Chessie! ❤️
Thread and more pics incoming, unsure if I'll finish it tonight.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Damn. It happened again. I got lost in a book. Now I was stuck here in Sherwood Forest until someone came looking for me. I waited.

A thread of more art museum pics from tkingfisher for @achronalart.bsky.social, this time in Peru.
Okay! Since they foolishly let me into a museum, I will now inflict some art on you! Please note that it was being renovated, so not a lot was on display, but what there was was really cool!
Also they had a neat courtyard where I got the sparrow and tyrannulet.

Okay, this is delightful. Guess what this is. Guess.
It’s a coffin for a fish.
At some point between 600-300 BC, someone buried their pet fish. It didn’t get the super fancy treatment that cats and falcons got, but by god, it got a little wood coffin of its own.
