This sweet girl had another seizure.
The various executive orders have frozen most work and I am essentially jobless for time being as research is on hold.
Everything together means I could use some cash, if I can make just $100-$200 more it would be really helpful. I recently shared a bunch of photography prints I have in stock for sale - it's older stock. Check my feed, or replies on (post link: flipping.rocks/@sunguramy/1139… )Take a peek!
I can also drop ship anything you like (can always check my website: sunguramy.com ) 8x10 / 9x12's $40 + ship ($10 to US, more to outside US).

Yay!!! I didn't realise this! Friendica.world has content filters enabled! This is fantastic! Now, I can add the political and other annoying words to it, and, with luck, I won't see such posts again!

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has had enough of the politics. So let's start something where we can get away from them. Just write #NoPolitics (capital n, capital p for my blind friends), and either place it somewhere in your profile to indicate that you will rarely, if ever, post about them so that those of us who want to avoid them can follow you, or add to the fun by posting something light-hearted and enjoyable. It can be anything, as long as it's not turned into something political.

Yesterday I posted some #moss pictures from my lunchtime walk; that's currently the most-boosted toot I've had on Mastodon!
So here's some more - same walk, different bits of #mosses, #lichens, and #frosty leaves. Enjoy.

Ironically, you've connected to me first. My channel has only got two topics. The primary topic is a certain kind of 3-D virtual worlds, the secondary topic is the Fediverse beyond Mastodon, although this may include accessibility topics. Since this is not my personal, all-round channel, I don't post about anything else.
I'm working on a series of posts that will touch male fashion. But they'll touch male fashion in the above-mentioned virtual worlds, I'll post them on a dedicated (streams) channel, and this Hubzilla channel will only forward them. Also, expect each one to have both a summary and a spoiler tag for those who are easily triggered by even the slightest eye contact.

@Jupiter Rowland I'm actually interested in the Fediverse beyond Mastodon. That's not what I meant by constantly posting about technology. I would also love to experience a virtual world, but I don't know of any that are accessible. That said, many other games are, both text-based and audio, and now, some mainstream ones as well.

Cooking #compost. I turned the pile on Sunday and today it reached 130°F, supposedly the lowest ideal temperature for efficient decomposition and to kill weed seeds and soil pathogens.
Heat from composting can be harvested as renewable, sustainable energy. I get really frustrated by the sheer number of #EnvironmentalSolutions ppl have come up with that just aren’t implemented. Imagine a world where we use our food scraps to grow more food AND generate clean energy.

I think it's neat that the phrase "I turned the pile on" means you rotated / mixed the pile, but could also be interpreted as "I activated the pile."
"Things are heating up?"
"Oh yeah, I activated the bioreactor."

I just uninstalled Pachli. It's still showing me things from October and November. I was able to use up arrow to get through some of them quickly, but now, that's not working and I would have to go through message, after message, after message, after message. Yes, it's annoying, and I can't even find Settings to see if I can change it. I could keep uninstalling and reinstalling it every time I needed to use it, in the hopes that it would start fresh each time, but that does seem ridiculous.
While I do 99% of everything using Windows, I decided to try Raccoon for Friendica for Android, since I was curious about it. I was able to go through the settings, though a few things just said "unlabelled". However, this is one of those apps that won't accept input from a real keyboard. So I couldn't even sign in! It had an instance as an example, but Talkback read it as actual text in the edit field, and when I tried to write my own instance, nothing happened. I also couldn't delete their example. So right now, Raccoon fails in accessibility. However, it is relatively new, so perhaps, this will change in the near future.

what about the touchscreen keyboard? where can I find that, is it in fdroid?
@the esoteric programmer I have no idea. I never use a touchscreen to type and never will. I have a bluetooth keyboard (iClever BK05).

For #WildlifeWednesday I have one of my favourite owl photos - this Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) jumping onto a log in a tidal marsh. I photographed this from a dike trail so as to not disturb the owls resting in the marsh.

Visayan Fantail
A medium-sized, long-tailed bird of forest from the lowlands to low elevations in the mountains in the west-central Philippines. Dull blue on the head, chest, back, and shoulder, with some paler blue streaking on the chest and crown. Has a white belly and a rufous lower back, outer tail feathers, and wing, with dark central tail feathers and a dark edge to the wing. Often cocks and fans tail while foraging. Similar to Black-naped Monarch, but has rufous rump and tail. Voice is a single, nasal “jep” note given at intervals or sped up into a rapid series.

We had a very nice surprise last year when we let a sunflower grow in between our corns and beans. The seed was a remain from the previous year and grew wild to 2,80m high, with a multitude of flowers coming out of the stem. Really proud of that one. Learning: don’t plan for everything, also let things happen 🌻😊
