Aye-yo! @itsmemaude.bsky.social has been having a real one over on threads.

Lots of racist settler takes, doubling-down, and accountability avoidance.

Maybe they’ll take time to pause, reflect, and make amends. Maybe not. There is a repeating pattern of this with their threads…

This all I get. I’m peeved bc how are you being censored by all the everywhere this feels PERSONAL and I dislike that

Mostly the clearcuts induce rage, but in this one ridge I appreciate how they’re turning it to Tallgrass Savanna because it gives a loooong and clear view (on both sides!) which is really uncommon here.

Enjoy a few seconds of a (limited) portion of the view. It’s a nice spring day, after all!

Take a break, listen to the birds chirp by an ancient & sacredstream

Perhaps you need some Outside but it’s not accessible? Enjoy a minute of (poorly filmed—I was busy “looking for Jake”** as we say) Indigenously-maintained forest

Currently both deeply grateful to and yet strongly disliking Cousin for getting me back into cigars.

Mostly because I’m realizing how many good cigars I just had sat in a box all these years & could have been smoking

…but partly bc I’m remembering how it helps me think slower (& so type better)

Bonkers amount of water…downstream gauge is showing something like 1,000cf/s above baseline from yesterday (before the gate was opened), which is much closer to what this looks like.

Rare to see water being released like this from this dam…it was only like ~2% above conservation pool yesterday
February 27, 2025 at 9:51 PM
Funny that the CoE page for this dam says “0 CFS release—2 Gates open 1.75 feet”

Neither of those statements is true🤦

History—especially social history—is polycyclic.

Remember that Jackson set the stage for Two Centuries (& counting) of Dishonour.

Y’all should have believed him when he told you Jackson was his favourite imperial predecessor.

Whenever the Mormies show up in my neighborhood, I have a two-fold response:

-make a big cup of coffee
-go sit with it on the porch & smoke my pipe (this one from a Canadian company!)

They usually leave me alone, Chitokaka yakoke li!

Everyone, let’s give a big round of applause for ‘Hamamelis vernalis’

few things can rival the smell of this sweet beauty, especially on a cold day in winter!

Somehow, they always find me

Idk if y’all know this but…Ouachita Witch Hazel is among the most beautifully fragrant AND vibrant floral trees.

Here, it blooms between Winter Solstice and roughly the start of Redbud Season

In which I climb up a Very Steep Embankment and inadvertently bother an Ossi himitta (juvenile Bald Eagle). They were fishing from the depth marker. Oops.

Autofocus REALLY messes up at the end but you can juuust see one of their family join them in flying up valley

Um so if you roast an onion root end up, it has an automatic fineness timer?
February 8, 2025 at 3:57 AM
Because I care deeply about all of y’all (mostly) and never want any of you to be embarrassed at the grocers (like the lass who was running the check-stand was):

These are, in fact, turnips. Really!

Very tasty roasted, and excellent served simmered—or even mashed like our beloved Queen, the Potato

He does the weird constant drool thing bc his mouth is messed up from fighting (he decided to live with us after he got bad beat-up some time back—he’s too old to fight I guess, but smart enough to know where there’s food)
