Desert Dweller (jnye@mstdn.plus)'s status on Thursday, 16-Nov-2023 00:41:05 JST Desert Dweller @feditips Thanks. I'm pretty well versed in the mechanics. It's just that I detect a decline in participation and can't help wondering why. I doubt it's really "answerable."

Desert Dweller (jnye@mstdn.plus)'s status on Tuesday, 14-Nov-2023 10:11:36 JST Desert Dweller I've gone by several posts #today that were effusive about how chatty & lively #Mastodon is lately. Can't agree. For me it's been so quiet & unresponsive I keep checking to see if I'm actually connected. 🤨🤷♀️ This last month has felt more & more like the old Twitter catch-phrase: "screaming into the void." I find it less frustrating than just sad. Don't know what to think.

The animals & house are all a complete mess and I am delighted!

Running water at last! 😜 My latest #homestead career: plumber. 🙄 😆 Because there's simply no one to hire until sometime in 2024. It's not pretty "under the hood," but it works. Have I earned gin?? 🍸

Desert Dweller (jnye@mstdn.plus)'s status on Saturday, 16-Sep-2023 23:20:59 JST Desert Dweller @HistoPol @FarhanaMTS Depends on one's definition of expensive, I guess. But my dog yard is pretty big, and enough of that wire to go all the way around it isn't in my budget any time soon. First I have to have a residence that's much closer to finished. Speaking of which...it's Saturday, so I'm off to The Project Races.

It's hard to see in the pic, but there are two layers to the fence--the regular heavy wire on the inside for the dogs, then an exterior layer of 1/4" hardware cloth. It's very thin, close-weaved wire that will prevent even baby snakes from getting through. -

Desert Dweller (jnye@mstdn.plus)'s status on Saturday, 16-Sep-2023 16:17:28 JST Desert Dweller 🌧️ To balance all my whining about no rain, I must be sure to acknowledge 10 whole minutes of moderate shower this evening. Enough to dampen the ground and create a few puddles. Proverbial drop in the bucket, but since #Arizona had basically no #monsoon at all this year, every one of those drops counts. 💧 😍

Desert Dweller (jnye@mstdn.plus)'s status on Friday, 15-Sep-2023 21:42:01 JST Desert Dweller Current state of affairs In my home-sweet-home county--see link.
I have so many thoughts I can't even begin to start commenting so I'm just going to fling the link up here so interested people can check it for perspective/education if they choose. I feel tired, discouraged, overwhelmed with our totally effed-up national "priorities." 😧

Desert Dweller (jnye@mstdn.plus)'s status on Wednesday, 30-Aug-2023 01:24:54 JST Desert Dweller 👋 As I do not. But def agree with the spirit of the post, even while not knowing. I nearly quit Mastodon in my first couple weeks over all the righteously-indignant scolding.
