I think the TiVo/NetFlix by mailera was the best. You could choose when to watch TV, you had a decent amount of choice (maybe even more for movies) but the little effort of planning and waiting meant watching TV was something to look forward to.

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

Native bloom number 34 in the yard, Solidago rugosa (wrinkleleaf goldenrod). Cleared out some of the columbine to give it a little more sun this year after only 2 of the 3 plants bloomed last year. #nativeplants #bloomscrolling

Horizontal green stem covered with about 20 small yellow flowers with small petals and prominent reproductive parts.

Native bloom number 33, Eastern Black Nightshade (Solanum ptycanthum), a volunteer that I let go in some parts of the yard. Yields poisonous black berries in the fall. #nativeplants #bloomscrolling

White flower with five pointed petals, green and yellow in the center. In the background two unopened and one open flower droop down from a green stem.

Native bloom number 32, Clinopodium carolinianum, Georgia calamint or Georgia basil. Rather modest flowers, the plant seems quite tough in a dry patch of the yard. The leaves are aromatic, not sure if you can make Georgia pesto with them... #nativeplants #bloomscrolling

#Mothweek day four. Silly but having grown up in suburban MD, I can’t look at an ironweed clearwing moth (Carmenta bassiformis) without being reminded of the DC football team colors. (photo from Decatur, June 2020). #bugsky #insects

Long cylindrical moth with a fringed tail, mostly clear wings with heavy veins spread to the sides, long black antennae with wide white bands. The moth is colored metallic burgundy with gold horizontal bands.

#Mothweek day three, a grass-veneer moth (genus Crambus) hugging a blade of grass. I don’t do a lot of light-trapping so mostly find these day-flying varieties. (Black Rock Forest NY, 2 weeks ago) #bugsky #teammoth #BugShot

I’ve had the privilege of joining these folks on a few occasions and am always impressed by the planning, creativity, artistry and ingenuity that goes into their actions.

Celebrating my 1 year anniversary with NDAct.org, and our monthly overpass events & other initiatives, to protect our community & resist fascism as a team this past year. You’re the best thing that’s happened to me since the world fell apart, my dear friends. Find your people. Don’t do this alone.

Side view of a white flower with very faint purple tinge, with a cowl and with lower petals dotted with paths of purple dots.

Native blooms 29, 30, and 31! Symphoricarpos orbiculatus (coralberry) flowers are tiny but will produce lovely pink berries, Joe Pye weed (Eutrochium) with buds currently closed, and hairy sunflower (Helianthus hirsutus). Hope to see some bees visiting these! #nativeplants #bloomscrolling
