cw meta, uspol
i gotta unfollow everyone who is rawdogging my feed with untagged uspol, especially when it comes along with "be scared!!!!" and no recommendations for stuff to do about it. I'm scared dude!! you don't need to shake anyone up about it more, we know. do you have an action item? let us know, but otherwise. im fucking tired of people telling me to be scared. i am!!!!!

i am feeling physical anxiety and grief about gestures vaguely today. I feel it in my throat and my chest and the back of my neck. I am trying to acknowledge it and keep doing what I need to do (school, cleaning, etsy orders). its hard to self regulate. when I have a spare moment, I will sow some (native) seeds today to help me feel more agency and hope.
It so cool to see the variations in leaf morphology (I presume related to water and nutrient availability in the soil) so close to each other. The ones in the shade of a shrub have large lush leaves, while the one in the compacted lawn right next to it has very thin leaves. Also, the lush ones are much more upright, while the stressed ones are flatly compact to the ground. Notice the purple coloring too, this looks like a temperature stress response.
I saw these gorgeous abundant ramās horn plantains (Plantago coronopus) by the golden gate bridge today. While I was getting a closer look, I found both immature and mature seed heads. I sprinkled some seeds around the area and collected a few to bring home. This plant has been a favorite of mine for a while. Iām excited for the opportunity to grow it. #sfba #plants #nativeplants

One of those days where Iām not sure if I was out of it because I smoked a lot or I smoked a lot because I felt out of it.
Theyāre so vibrant in person, it doesnāt translate. So beautiful and distinguished and also mean (to other birds, squirrels, and I even saw them gang up to chase a rat out of my loquat tree last year)

so I found a US based manufacturer to buy n95s direct from. because I think its useful to try to buy things that are made as locally as possible (less transport emissions etc), and because I'm making an effort to buy things not from Amazon or chain stores etc as much as possible. shop.shawmutcorp.com/collections/frontpage/products/n95-mask-made-in-usa
that^ is the place I bought from. the masks are sturdy and comfortable. my gripe is that they are like 3d face shaped, and dont fold flat. so not quite so convenient for travel. also, they have the around the head straps rather than ear straps, which is also less convenient for travel (i am often rushing to put my mask on one handed while i get on a bus). Both of these are obvious from the website listing, I just wasn't really paying attention. It was $20 including shipping for a box of 20, so I think its a good deal. go forth and don't get #covid or anything else yall
@Lichen @0x4d6165 Mae can def help you with that. It got me started on making a neocities using Hugo but I sorta got distracted and never completed the setup. Hugo is supposed to be really straight forward to use for people who don't have background in coding/webdesign. maybe we could get together on a call soon and make it happen
@Lichen I think I gotta start over. my transplanted sprouts have not surfaced yet, and the soil seems to be growing white mold/mycelium. let us know if u learn anything new on the next batch :)
Oyster mush #mycelium update. Started on 12/30. Slow to start, then absolutely took off the last week or two. I havenāt figured out which method of fruiting Iāll do yet. This is my first time getting this far, previous attempts got contaminated with green mold.

i did a couple sets of arm things with 12.5lb weights at the university gym yesterday. it felt really good to push myself (i only have 5 and 10lb at home). dam im sore today tho.
Can anyone recommend where to buy (n95) masks? Iāve been leaning on grabbing a few from free boxes cuz I havenāt been going out much the last few years, and the places I go usually have them. Iām sure I could Google it but if anyone has preferred suppliers lemme know
I made the third bus connection okayyy my trek will soon be overš®āšØ
I intend to never stay on campus that long againš©Iām so tired. With luck Iāll be home in another 45min if I make the connection
I cut my beard and stache with scissors last night cuz it was getting out of hand and idk if it looks worse lol
complaining about transit and energy levels
tfw i wanna go to zine club but biking to the pharmacy just now made me more tired than i expected and i need to rest up before first day of school tomorrow. but also zine club increases my capacity in some ways. ive been so low energy lately its prob winter thing partly. it would be less of a thing if it didnt involve taking two busses and get jostled a bunch. and then to school its gonna be three busses. its literally fine im just bitching cuz im tired rn
