Stood in the heat for four hours with @colinfanning.bsky.social to see this massive chonker roll by #bigboy Trains are cool! Hearing the steam whistle off in the distance as it approached was incredibly evocative.

A picture of me and Colin, under an umbrella. (Two bearded men with glasses). We're smiling at the camera.

Well Vanguard... I appreciate the effort, but... I'm not sure that's correct.

A screenshot of an email from Vanguard announcing "We're here to help you prepare for tax season. Welcome to 2021! We're here to help you get off to a strong start."

Further down, there's a bullet point that says "when to expect your 2020 tax forms." With a hyperlink.

We just gave a presentation of our photos from Japan to Colin's family... cut down from 3400 photos to 675. 😅 Japan is really incredible!

Me standing next to the Hachiko statue in Shibuya. It's a statue of a Shiba Inu made of bronze. It's paws are gold from being rubbed.

I JUST CHECKED and my cold addled brain must have misremembered, I was thinking of this raw cocoa finished Pocky we picked up. I could have sworn I saw the Men's!!! But I have no evidence.

Like I know nobody asked for this, but: yes I would believe this man is 25.

A portrait of James Madison at 25, but he's been edited to have a little fuckboy moustache and shitty goatee and a blue backwards baseball cap. His collar has also been edited lower.

In advance of our upcoming trip to Japan I thought for nostalgia's sake I'd boot up The World Ends With You, pulled up my old save file and uhhhh.. Apparently some time has passed. 😵‍💫

A photo of the screens of a 3DS, showing a screen from the game the world ends with you. On the top screen is a picture of the main character who has orange hair and wears purple headphones. On the bottom screen is a results box that says bonus: you receive PP for the amount of time you haven't played the game. A total of 999 days 23 hours 59 minutes have passed.

There is an associated amount of PPE for each of these days: 144, 72, 36, 18, 9, 9, 9. It maxes out at 9 days.

You already know about this one but CCRA's Green Committee (I'm on it!) borrowed your idea to distribute native pollinator seed packets in our neighborhood to great success! We're planning to do it again next year too! www.instagram.com/p/DLXQ-qisM9...

Got my Covid and flu shots yesterday! A local pharmacy had them and were doing walk-ins. Hooray for local pharmacies! Also I just went to the gym and I feel like a truck hit me LOL

A picture of me in a gym tank top. There's a bandaid on one of my shoulders. The guy said I didn't bleed at all so he wasn't even going to give me a bandaid but I asked for one anyway.

@kathleen.loadingreadyrun.com An acquaintance is in Japan right now studying community space and play area design and they posted this this morning and I thought of you!!! Community announcement board as deeply overlooked yet vital urban community builder!

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social I have no idea which seed mix it came from (probably the one we got for CCRA???) but I've got a solanum americanum growing in one of my planters and there was a bee visiting it this morning!!! THE SYSTEM WORKS

A bunch of green foliage. Right in the middle of the picture you can make out a black spot. That's the bee.

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social also btw in May/June CCRA's green committee got seed distro jars in 10 bizs in SW center city. We distributed over 1000 native pollinator seed packets! A recap post should be up on the CCRA Insta some time this week. Thanks again for the inspiration and the posters!

OH RYAN how could I forget??? When in Utrecht you should also check out... The Fish Doorbell! @visdeurbel.bsky.social (From above water it's just a lock in one of the canals but it's a fun walk!)

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social We did a CCRA green committee seed packing party last Friday, packed about 1000 seed packets. Three more native plant distro jars heading out! In addition to Mr. Rabbit, we have jars at Rims Cleaners and Lombard Swim Club. Julius Scissor and a few more coming soon!

A picture of me reflected in a hall mirror. Three plastic deli takeout containers with "plant native plant" inserts are stacked on the ledge of the mirror.

Primary election day Philly! Go vote!!! There's a contentious DA race (I'm voting Krasner, we don't need a tough on crime posturing conservative) & ballot qs. Vote yes on #2 to direct developer payments to the affordable housing fund to go to building housing rather than the general city budget.

@nicolablack.bsky.social I tested the recipe again today! This time I measured using a 1 cup measure and scooped the flour. I weighed it, and it looks like a scoop is 180 grams... 50% more than I was calculating before!!!

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social I sprinkled the sample packet of pollinator natives I snagged from the seed packing party in my adopted tree pit garden and THEY'RE SPROUTING!!!

A picture of some dirt with green sprouts in it! This is the inside of the concrete planter I have in the center of the tree pit, mostly there to prevent trucks from driving over the plants. We're on a corner and trucks often cut the corner too close which is why I haven't tried to get a tree planted here. We need a protective bollard first.

More green sprouts in dirt. This is the ground level. You can see the base of the planter in the background.

2821 day streak. Yeah, I'm done. Cancelled my membership. Since they removed the forums and double downed in AI the quality has gotten significantly worse anyway, and even when you pay they shove ads in your face for their stupid "AI enhanced" plan. Absurd. This will spur me to try better apps.

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social First native plant seed distribution jar CCRA Green Committee put together, inspired by you, is up at Mr. Rabbit (23rd and Spruce) Still working on scaling up seed packets so we can put more out!

The dough was so wet I thought, this will never work! I figured I must have messed up somehow. It worked???
