The one-day old crescent moon and the Pleiades in evening twilight as seen from the mountains of southern New Mexico.

Each photo is about ten minutes later than the previous one. As twilight fades, the saturated sky colors soften and more stars become […]

Here's an odd one. Customer Support at Change.org got back to me on why my email is not considered valid. They do not allow emails that "start with a few words" for spam reasons, like "chris@".

I was like, okay... what if I just try a subaddress, like […]

I haven't animated anything in a hot minute so this weekend's project is a walk cycle with a lil guy. His name is Pajamas. There's some foot slipping and slight skipping that isn't showing up in my preview and I'm not sure what's causing it in the render? But oh well 🤷‍♀️

I find old educational footage like this to be pretty interesting.

Was stalking @TodePond's profile and https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw is actually a really neat project.

Does one thing and does it well, all the while being open-source and easy to integrate.

I use both Obsidian and Inkscape a bit, and an open-source canvas tool is a nice in-between option […]

WHY is there a gym called “con body prison style boot camp?” and why is there a twerking class going on right in the window?
(do not answer my question)
I’m just being an old lady and very disappointed in this.

Regarding the fosstodon fallout. A recap of what I got so far:
1. A fosstodon mod, @carrotcypher@fosstodon.org, appears to be a nazi
2. The site owner, @mike, ignores concerns raised, states "we don't have a nazi mod”
3. Fediverse explodes at this, several instance admins announce to defederate […]

My instincts to start making ollas this winter were spot on. We’re experiencing intense drought that began late fall 2024 and this, along with our sandy soils, has made #gardening challenging. Last month, I made this large custom olla to deliver rainwater to […]

I live by an art school that doesn’t have a #ceramics program, so sometimes students seek me out for mentorship. I had a lot of fun and learned so much from these two today. I’ve mentored kids from the US and Thailand, and now Hungary and Brazil. It’s a […]

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.

I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.

I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if […]

I've not been Christian since late teenhood, if I even was one before then, really - but I liked Papa Francisco.

Of course he, and the Catholic church, held/hold some views I disagree with - but he largely preached acceptance and love and pushed back on a lot of the papal pomp.

I watched The […]

The famous 'Photo 51' of #DNA using X-ray diffraction by Raymond Gosling & Rosalind Franklin in 1952. The step pattern shows the ladder structure of DNA's base pairs, and the missing "step" suggests the overlapping double strand helix shape. 🧪⚛️ #Science #Biology #Physics See: doi.org/10.1096/fj.2...
