Today I heard from @handle that the next NLNet grant application deadline is in 4 days -- I also learned that this year they have a new category called "User Operated Internet". I got really excited about this because the last time I applied to the NLNet grant program, there wasn't really a good category for my project to fit under. But "User Operated Internet" is perfect!

I spent today throwing up a rough draft of a home page for my project. In the past I have called it Greenhouse, but I am thinking now I'm going to change the name to Server Garden, because the original thing that was going to be called Server Garden is now on hiatus.

Please take a look and let me know what you think! I know it has tons of issues, but I'm still interested to hear what folks think about it:

Coffee, birds, hearing, surreal, planes 

In one ear, I cannot hear low frequency sounds. This means that I often struggle to determine which direction such sounds are coming from.

This morning, I was sitting outside drinking coffee (okay, a coconut mocha antoccino) on my balcony and I heard an airplane presumably overhead. I looked up, though, and couldn't see any airplanes, only a bird, and for a moment, my brain decided that these airplane noises must have been coming from this bird.

This tiny, circling, diving and whirling songbird.

What if birds were just really, really, loud? What if they sounded like jet planes?

hoo boy.. with the ADL and Paypal partnering up to "combat terrorism and extremism", here's a reminder to NEVER EVER SPECIFY a political cause in your donations/ direct aid. If you have to, be vague: diapers, groceries, tire repair, just send i love yous and happy birthdays. don't fucking rat yourself and others out.

and remember, this goes for Venmo as well, because Paypal owns them.

Tonight the clowns return to #CircusInPlace for another session of silliness and circus...two things which are sure to improve almost any Monday.

The nonsense (and the video chat) starts at 8pm UTC-5:

@Curator

Have a little sunset painting. I got a little lazy about making hollows at the base of the trees (it was dark!) so it seems a little like it's just kudzu all over. 😅

I hope you like it!

But oh hey I went hiking! With my bestie! AFTER IT HAD RAINED A BUNCH!

The trail was covered with weird mushrooms that I know fuck all about because I see the label “detritovore” and think no thank u but they sure look cool

So here’s some #sporespondence

Art, sunset, trauma, wip 

It got dark while I was roughing in the treeline. I started on the left and by the time I got to the right, I was working petty much blind. I like the right side better. Still plenty more to go.

Art, sunset, trauma 

I'm working through some trauma around relaxing and doing art in an unstructured way. Today, I took a walk and tried to do some on my own. It's harder on me emotionally than I thought it would be. Waiting for paint to dry, listening to the crickets chirp, and breathing the green, earthy summer air.
