re: Food, "Salad" page of 1969 Minnesota Church Cookbook, food scarcity, nutrition
@RussSharek @thegibson@hackers.town @Ventronik I'd like to point out that this is from Minnesota in 1969. We didn't get good quality fresh produce in the winter until the late 80s, I heard. My mother would talk about looking forward to lemon and rasin sauce because she didn't really get tart foods in the winter very often.
Imagine trying to make a fruit salad, but you can't actually get any fruit that isn't canned because it can't get so far north without spoiling, so you make it work with packaged foods instead. That being said, my aunts have a recipe for cookie salad, so maybe the jury is still out. The core concept here is just a mixture of distinct things that taste good together, like a pasta salad, grain salad, etc. I'm not really defending jello carrot salads, but they do come out of a food system that is fundamentally different than the one we have now.
Also, this whole problem came out of trying to use a European food system in a region where really, the indigenous food system was balanced through the winter, but the European things were scarce.

that recent increase in traffic was because I uploaded this collection of cat pics from my dslr, each like 5-10Mb

adhd, executive dysfunction
Last week I got annoyed because there were about five pieces of unsorted paperwork on my desk so instead of doing what a neurotypical would do, I built a drawer to put unsorted paperwork in.
I think that’s an amazing example for the fact that how difficult most people perceive a task doesn’t have any impact on how difficult it is for me.

@dysphoricunicorn I feel this so much. Windows has bad support for this and it drives me crazy.
If you want a fancy option, you can run your audio through a an external audio processor box, like from tympan.org.

My right ear is just _slightly_ worse than the left one.
Not enough to be an issue in everyday life but enough to annoy me while listening to music on headphones.
Having found this setting feels so good ^^

Rather minimalist ir-landscapes which might look good as wallpapers. Different hues and compositions. Have fun. #wallpaper #photography #infrared

are facemasks with eyes printed on them an effective defense against automatic facial recognition (like clearview and such) or are they smarter than that
are there known attacks that make it hard for them to automatically scrap your face from images ?

hey fedi
do I know anyone in upstate new york who’d be able to help a queer teen get to her doctor’s appointments? previous travel arrangements have fallen through.
I don’t know what hashtag to use for this

I’m not done with the suitcase poems,
or strawberries while watching the sun
flicker through the thick canopy. Summer is
an angry buzz in my chest
it’s a fire
in my cheeks and teeth on my lips. ‘
There are things I am done with like feeling empty
in the spaces between my fingers
where a whole life once rested. Or longing

Caution, #CircusInPlace has been shown to cause happiness and enjoyment in non-scientific tests. Ask your stuffed animal dressed as a doctor if chatting with nice people while watching clowns doing acrobatics is right for you.

I really dislike Joe Biden, but I've never forgotten when some dipshit asked him how many genders there are and he gave the perfect answer. He said "at least three" and when asked to name them, he said "don't play games with me, kid."
Physical health, mild bad news, cold, non covid
So, I have a cold. Lab confirmed, it's just a normal cold.
The silver lining is that for the past like four days, every single time I felt like I had to sneeze, I actually sneezed. I've gone through two boxes of tissues, but it's also been weirdly incredible.
