I know I posted pics of this tree before, but each time I pass by it I get fascinated again by the way the fungi wrap around it.

@MediaActivist hm, “no coding” makes it a little trickier, I was thinking of a plain html site. For years I blogged that way, with PayPal buttons for selling goods. Maybe there are free html templates to use?

@MediaActivist is there a lot of content to manage? If not, sometimes “no CMS” works better.

@skinnylatte it took me a minute, I first thought “raise a seed round” must be like a Brit expression for planting a seed and watering it and watching it grow. Then it clicked where the ads are posted.

@thomasfuchs @futurebird My daily driver:

Whenever I try to get people to try mastodon, they usually give up because it’s too tech-geeky, either in the onboarding or in the culture here. I’m doing my best to post moss, mushrooms, dogs, music, and bad wordplay—and many of you are too, I know. But I swear every new introduction post I see starts off great (queer, artsy, nature, ACAB) and then pivots directly to software engineer, video gamer, youtuber, data analyst, defense contractor. Like, welcome, but damn it’s jarring!

Boosts here should be called “geese”. Sorry for goosing that into your timeline! Goose if you agree.

@HauntedOwlbear @stormygleason Definitely not a sitar, it’s a long-necked lute like a baglama, saz, tanbur, or buzuq.

Nice hauntastic clouds around the gibbous moon tonight!

@skinnylatte Would the humor translate at all if someone got a Chinese tattoo that said “you tellin me a shrimp fried this rice”

Two years ago I taught my cat to ring a bell for food. In the first year he only rang it at reasonable meal intervals. Then he started a pattern of ringing but not eating, instead jogging to another room. I took the bell away whenever he did that, and he started rattling dishes purposefully—but not eating. It took me a while to figure out that each time he didn’t eat, he went to look at the drawer where we keep the cat dancer/flirt toys. Now I have to get a different bell for playtime! #Caturday

@schratze Some people on here are hair stylists or brain surgeons, and honestly? Hats off to them.

@futurebird @cwebber There was a movie called A Day Without A Mexican that touched on this idea.

@skinnylatte Random: I used to live in the house of an ayurveda practitioner who collected many recipes she handed out to her clients. I had eaten a delicious dish at an Indian restaurant, so I asked if she had the recipe. She frowned and said “you don’t want that, it’s *South* Indian.”
