- My dog is getting surgery next month - it is a tumor but it‘s not cancer & won‘t be a complicated procedure, but it‘s of course still scary! She is happy and healthy as can be however. Here is a video of one of the local crows i feed bullying her

- In August, a formerly online only friend came to visit & I organised 2 fun days of Berlin for her & her bf! Here is some photos from when we explored an abandoned soviet airport
(Photos by its_what_luke_sees on Instagram)
Astrid and Willow are standing with their backs towards the camera facing a mosaic mural of Lenin‘s head, both with their hands together as if pleading. Astrid and Willow sit on the third floor of a building with the wall missing, with their legs dangling down. They‘re having a conversation. Back view of Astrid and Willow sitting on the third floor of the building with the wall missing. You can see trees through the opening and there is warm afternoon sun. Willow leans out the window of an abandoned building with the glass missing. They are facing away from the camera, pointing at something in the distance.

2/2 which you can see in this screenshot. I‘m trans myself & used to follow her, there was big backlash mostly from other trans people but she‘s done her best to bury the receipts

Ragis the beagle & Missy the maremmano mutt sit on a log together in the afternoon sun, looking at the camera. They are panting with their mouths open, making them look friendly and happy.

An edited Quora question. It says: "Anti imperialists, imagine you're going skydiving with a zionist baby. Suddenly the baby tells you he won't open his parachute until you renounce Hamas and accept Netanjahu as your lord and savior. What would you do?"

Built a pickup winder so now I‘ll be able to make custom guitar & bass pickups from scratch 😌 My first trial run will be a Telecaster set, RWRP, mayb one overwound one underwound. Doing these from a kit to keep things simple, for future pickups I‘ll make my own flatwork to make them plastic free!

Starting to get the hang of this proofing basket business. Probs one of my best looking home baked breads so far! Wholewheat german farmer style, proofed in my proofing basket & baked in a cast iron pot 🥰
A bread, small ramekin with olive oil, lots of basil leaves, a vegetable spread and a cucumber resting on a cutting board made from walnut and cherry wood. The bread has a thick dark crust, with concentric flour lines characteristic of bread that rested in a proofing basket. The lines are interrupted by one big expansion cut down the middle.

The agenda, now and forever

(Collage made from cut up right wing party posters, saying in german: "Better protection for criminals. Fight citizens! Financially unburden gangs and extremists. Stop families immediately! Asylum-chaos against Germany")
A collage of cut up words and phrases from german rightwing party posters. The text reads: "Kriminalität besser schützen. Bürger bekämpfen! Banden und Extremisten finanziell entlasten. Familien sofort stoppen! Asylchaos gegen Deutschland".

I fucking hate what AI has done to the internet. You search for something and the FIRST THREE results are AI generated slop articles from the SAME website
I want off this ride 😭
The first results of a Duckduckgo search. They are all from the website "amycookseats.com". The first one says "Is Your Focaccia Bread Perfectly Baked? How to Tell If Focaccia... Focaccia, with its pillowy texture and irresistible aroma, is a true culinary delight. But how do you know when this beautiful bread is truly ready to be...". The second one says "Master Baking: How to Know When Focaccia Bread is Done. Focaccia, with its pillowy texture, golden crust, and endless topping possibilities, is a culinary masterpiece. But achieving that perfect bake can be...". The third one says "Focaccia Bread Perfection: How Do You Know When It's Cooked? Focaccia, with its bubbly, airy texture and irresistible, savory flavor, is a true delight. But knowing"

Ordered a custom tension-compensated guitar string set for the weird 7 string semibaritone guitar I built which I only play in open tuning. I‘ve decided to unblock the floyd rose & make this one my permanent AFACGCE guitar & I‘ll build another for other tunings eventually ig 😤😤😤
A screenshot of the stringjoy website. It shows a chart of a 26.97in scale 7 string guitar tuned to AFACGCE. The selected string thicknesses are .0095, .012, .016, .028w, .034w, .044w and .070w. The tensions are 18, 18.1, 18.1, 20.6, 21.1, 21.4 and 21lbs.

I love you wholewheat bread I love you sourdough I love you multigrain bread I love you cast iron dutch oven baked thick crusted bread I love you homebaked bread that‘s still warm
There is bread on a pastel lilac plate. The bread has a dark crust, rustic scoring & the characteristic flour markings of a proofing basket. Next to it is a cucumber, and in the background an orange-coloured spread, blurred.

A criminal. She will never beat the woofing allegations
A maremmano labrador stray mix dog sits on a stack of wooden boards that have snow and ice on them. She looks wistfully at the camera. In the background there is a taller stack of wooden boards and a blurred out street with an orange appartment building.

These are quotes from leaked new guidelines received by Facebook moderators. All of these things are now allowed to be said on Facebook. If yr still on there, I am begging you to leave that hell along with me & not make Zuckerberg any more money.

TW: Transphobia, homophobia, misogyny
Text from an article that reads: "In an answer to the question “Do insults about mental illness and abnormality violate when targeting people on the basis of gender or sexual orientation?” Meta now answers “no.” It gave the following examples of posts that do not violate its policies: Non-violating: "Boys are weird." Non-violating: "Trans people aren't real. They're mentally ill." Non-violating: "Gays are not normal." Non-violating: "Women are crazy." Non-violating: "Trans people are freaks."" Text from an article that reads: ""There's no such thing as trans children." "God created two genders, 'transgender' people are not a real thing." "This whole nonbinary thing is made up. Those people don't exist, they're just in need of some therapy." "A trans woman isn't a woman, it's a pathetic confused man." "A trans person isn't a he or she, it's an it.""

This lil endgrain cutting board will be for sale for p cheap once it‘s done since it was an experiment & has some flaws in the alignment of the wood due to this - I‘m currently trying to find ways to make cheaper options for these bc I want them to be accessible to ppl & my usual ones cost 200€+ 😭
The image shows a small endgrain cutting board sitting on a well used workbench. The cutting board has rounded corners, roundovers on all the edges & a hole at the top for hanging it up. It‘s made of many irregularly sized pieces of walnut in the middle and hornbeam along the left and right sides.

Service dog
The image shows Misandry, a maremmano mix dog with curly white fur, sitting facing the camera. Her eyes are looking upwards towards an empty glass of bell pepper lentil spread balancing on her head. The lid of the glass is balanced loosely on top. She looks concerned but not unhappy.
