I have finally finished my raised beds (aka plant tables)! This isn't the first woodworking project I've finished, but it's the first that I *started*, back in 2020. Plenty of setbacks in health and circumstance delayed the project, but I got there eventually 🙂

Now all that remains is to put some permeable plastic in there to help keep the dirt and roots inside while still allowing drainages between the planks, and filling it with soil and plants!

who decided to call it a "coalition" instead of the much more descriptive "politicule"? #shittyPortmanteaux

At the furry breakcore rave this shit fucking rules

Never felt safer in a crowd, never felt more alive, never felt more euphoric sober, music rules, everybody’s outfits are peak, so many creatures just enjoying life and existing together in this wild experience

it's perfectly reasonable for capitalists to be arguing for AI-driven software. "reducing labor costs" is the thing capitalists do. but being an AI stan as a worker is some serious class traitor shit. this isn't gonna advance your career, buddy.

sitting with the AI apologist take of "you may like the craft of traditional japanese hand woodworking but it's not what will make a profit anymore, so save that for your hobby"… the thing is, old-school joinery produces higher-quality products and uses less (& more sustainable) materials. The reason it's "not profitable" is that the labor is more specialized and expensive. So what they're saying is "I want to get paid less to make worse software".

Veel gehoord ‘rechts’ argument: Links jaagt bedrijven NL uit. Bedrijven die echt vertokken deden dat vanwege ‘beperkt beschikbare fysieke ruimte; onvoldoende elektrische net- capaciteit; onvoldoende aanbod van talent en huisvestingsmogelijkheden voor talent’.
Kortom door korten op onderwijs, stikstofprobleem niet oplossen en niet investeren in duurzame infrastructuur. Rechts beleid jaagt bedrijven weg.

I hate that people will "rescue" a wild animal and then just kind of adopt it as a pet. The cute videos of "woman rescues owl" or some nonsense always bother me because they encourage bad behavior, especially from colonizers who wanted an excuse to keep a protected animal as a pet anyway.

If you encounter a baby animal that is not doing well, it is your responsibility to locate a certified wild life rescuer in your area and follow their instructions for either bringing the animal to that rescuer, or preferably, keeping the animal safe till they can come and get the animal themselves.

Stop stealing wild animals. They're not yours :angry_heart:

tfw the trespass backpack it bought like a few months ago is already wearing through in places

any recommendations for getting a medium-size backpack (35-40l probably, something it can have for everyday use) that is actually built tough and gonna last? Would be nice to have something with MOLLE or similar webbing for attaching extra pouches and such.

(it is aware that there is tons and tons of military style "assault pack" backpacks which would fit this but it is not sure which are properly good)
