    TIL that parts of the Great Wall and many structures in China historically used sticky rice mortar. I learned this at a Title I math & literacy event at kiddo's school. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_rice_mortar

      Sticky rice mortar
      Sticky rice mortar was invented in ancient China utilizing organic materials in inorganic mortar. Hydraulic mortar was not available in ancient China, possibly due to a lack of volcanic ash. Around 500 CE, sticky rice soup was mixed with slaked lime to make an inorganic−organic composite mortar that had more strength and water resistance than lime mortar. Sticky rice played a major role in maintaining the durability of the Great Wall, as well as tombs, pagodas, and city walls. Sticky rice mortar had high adhesive strength, sturdiness, waterproofing capability, and prevented weeds from growing as crude mortar made of sticky rice and burnt lime created a seal between bricks that would rival modern cement in strength. During the Ming dynasty (1368–1644 AD), brick-making techniques improved significantly in terms of quantity and quality of production. Since then, Great Wall sections were widely built with bricks, with lime mortar and sticky rice used to reinforce the bricks strongly enough to resist earthquakes and modern bulldozers while keeping the building intact. Modern chemists, through their research, identified amylopectin, a type of polysaccharide...

    @sidereal There are many things better now materially (radically lower child mortality due to medical advances) but the complete enclosure of space and resources – where everything is owned by somebody, has only limited legal use & the full force of the state will be used to exclude anyone from using it no matter their need while the "owner" isn't using it at all – is very bad & excludes basic human behavior.

    Partner, kiddo and I are going to Cinerama – I mean "SIFF Downtown" – tonight to see the David Lynch version of Dune. Cinerama has just a fabulous huge screen and great sound. They also have chocolate popcorn. Cinerama closed back in 2020 until SIFF took over. We've made chocolate popcorn at home (using recipe from former employee!) but I am very excited to go.

    I was making a mental list of the things my partner and I both do (political, community aid, etc.) and realized it is a lot. It is supported by me working full time in a good tech job while having a major health issue that is poorly understood (along with mental health issues that come with it).

    I say this not to brag, but finding things to do to make the world better help me cope with existential dread. If you feel afraid, find a way to do something.

    Mariame Kaba over on Bluesky has been sharing this list of ways to take action that aren't protests or voting which I think is fabulous:
    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OSWxykA1WHOi0vTPLAJDaCeVhR3uSfh7PhlCj4t4yT0/edit?tab=t.0

    I also recently read this article on how to get started on getting started! https://grouphug.substack.com/p/how-to-get-started-on-getting-started?utm_source=pocket_shared

    Also The Urbanist (a Puget Sound based media outlet) had a great article on why tool libraries are great: https://www.theurbanist.org/2025/03/15/op-ed-your-city-needs-a-tool-library

    There's so much to do. You can try one thing and then try other things if that doesn't work.

    @ai6yr @skinnylatte it is a funny thing. while I've certainly rode my bike for recreational reasons, it's always been predominantly utility. I need to get somewhere. I ride my bike (or walk or take a bus). Even hauling a kid to the playground is really utility. No one would describe driving a kid in a car to a park across town so they can go to a class as "recreational driving".

    @skinnylatte Kind of dark to think Seattle downtown is closer to folks imagined form of a vibrant west coast downtown because it's also quite bleak in many ways.

    My House representative is now using a new captcha that is wildly inaccessible. I literally had to ask for help to use it because I refuse to use hCaptcha and the images were indecipherable to me and the text "challenge" was incomprehesible. This captcha is now used for Rep. Smith's subscribe to email form, survey forms and to send comments form! #accessibility

    Yes I wrote up substantial alt text because just WTF is up with this nonsense?!

      @zacwest@nsinteger.com Did they send out an email about this?? I haven't seen one. I've downloaded all ours in the past planning to never buy any from Kindle again. But checking my purchases online, even though I still have multiple registered kindle devices, it won't let me download right now. So, uh, maybe already in effect?

    #Monsterdon Mysteriously Julie and He-Man can understand each other's speech. A thing I never questioned as a child but as an adult it is very stark in all scifi/fantasy media.

    I live in Seattle WA (USA) with my family and work in tech. I'm also disabled (mostly deaf & blind on one side). I ride the bus, walk or bike most of the time and I care a lot about our transportation system working for everyone. I spend a lot of my not-work time on local advocacy, family stuff, pottery and our unitarian universalist church. Pronouns: They/ThemNote: I have multiple accounts and not posting all topics from one account. This one is my more general account.
