Just a rock-licker who loves all things sci-fi, boardgames, and growing my own food, especially heirloom tomatoes.

  • How to help Lemmy/beehaw go to the moon!

    Jump

  • Heck yeah, I've been trying to post both here and on a couple of my communities at .world. I've mostly been going through my old, never-posted photos for some good OC, but think I might also start scavenging my ex-reddit account. Anything for content and to keep up the momentum!

  • Billions of snow crab are missing. A remote Alaskan village depends on the harvest to survive.

    Jump

  • An excellent read, and I was glad to hear that the community had been smart and saved/invested profits from the crab harvest during the bountiful years. Hopefully they're able to pivot their economy to be more diverse and secure.

  • I crave mental lint. Hivemind, please share your interesting facts

  • It used to be popular among European landowners to have a garden hermit as part of the landscaping decor.

  • hbo succession... wow

    Jump

  • Honestly I think it's good where they left it. No spoilers, but it's a satisfying arc for who ends up on top, and I feel like that last evening with the siblings and then the board meeting the next day was the perfect encapsulation of their whole relationship.

  • what are your weekend plans?

    Jump

  • Ugh, I'll be on the venting side. I drew the short straw and had to do two weeks of night shifts (and I'm a early bird, NOT a night owl). I slept nearly 40 out of the 48 hours last weekend, and I expect I'll do the same this weekend.

  • New Communities + Beehaw is once again looking for community moderators

    Jump

  • Honestly, I joined beehaw knowing that the admins would run it like a benevolent dictatorship. It's their instance, their servers, their time and effort, and I respect that.

    you will enjoy what we are imposing, period

    Yep, if you want to make your own community your own way, there's plenty of other instances that offer that.

  • My fiance's cousin got married a few years back, and I've always wished I could tell her how geologically appropriate their wedding venue was.

    Jump

  • Yeah exactly, which is why I've kept my mouth shut, but I did think Internet strangers might appreciate the humor.

    Out of curiosity I googled "lesbian geologists," and while I didn't find an organization or anything, it did lead me to Ammonite, a 2020 film about the first female paleontologist Mary Anning. The film depicts her in a lesbian relationship, and although there's no historical basis, there's also no evidence of her ever being in a heterosexual relationship, leaving it open to question.

    I thought it an interesting coincidence that I've just recently finished reading Ammonite, an excellent book by Nicola Griffith about a planet where a virus has wiped out all men, and the exploration of the women-only society that then developed over the centuries.

  • askBeehaw: what's something that made your day recently?

    Jump

  • The little moth buddy I posted about was really fun. There's been a surprising amount of interesting bugs where I've been working the past couple weeks, last night one of my coworkers spotted something that looked like a cross between a spider and a cricket, which I've yet to be able to identify.

  • What petty hill will you die on?

    Jump

  • I agree. I'm not one of the silly purists that populate r/grilledcheese, other ingredients can go great in a grilled cheese, as long as the cheese is still the star of the show.

  • Ooooh them's fighting words. Have you tried a burger with a homegrown tomato? Pretty night and day, might just change your mind.

    [Image description: a plate with a burger and sides. The burger is open and ready to be assembled, one bun has sauce and a slice of an heirloom tomato, the other has the patty, cheese, pickles and bacon.]

  • Bees (how do we address this community?) of beehaw, do you have an indoor garden or affinity for plants? Show me pictures of your favorite plants you've grown and tell me about them!

    Jump

  • That is so cool! I've thought of getting a tattoo of a tomato plant, I love how yours looks.

    Pulled some overgrown heirloom carrots from a neglected corner of my yard, love these cross sections
