#ThreeGoodThings

  • I saw a blue fairy wren yesterday! It's quite unusual to see them in town, so it felt like a real gift

  • the mulberries are starting to turn! Now let's see if the birds leave some for us when they're ripe

  • friends who care and ask about the things they know are challenging you, even when they're facing their own challenges

As we creep up on the end of the year, I'm creating an #introduction post because .. apparently I didn't have one :) I'm Dawgeth aka Matt. I'm a husband, dad, software architect, engineering manager, tinkerer, gamer, and generally curious person who has a hard time leaving well enough alone. A few things you'll find me talking about: #Technology - Software architecture, engineering, automation, and figuring out how things work. #Linux - Self-hosting, homelabs, open source, and running services just because I can. #Gaming - Steam, GOG, Xbox, and more .. I bounce around a lot! #Programming - Building little projects, experimenting with new ideas, and occasionally turning a five-minute problem into a weekend project. #Politics - Hanging out on the left, progressive, interested in local government, civic engagement, and making things a little better for everyone. #Community - Building spaces where people feel welcome, whether that's online, in the neighborhood, or around a table. #Makers - Small business adventures, creative projects, crafting, and supporting people who make things with their hands. #Gardening - Growing food, learning as I go, and maintaining the illusion that I know what I'm doing in the garden. #Family - A big family, a busy household, and plenty of reasons to appreciate the little things. I'm a firm believer that curiosity is a pretty good way to spend a life. I have too many interests, too many projects, and probably too many browser tabs open. Happy to meet new people, exchange ideas, talk shop, or just enjoy the occasional bit of internet nonsense. Here's to another year of figuring things out!

Leaf mold is an excellent additive to plant beds and pots. It can be used as a potting medium, either on its own or in a mix by adding other elements like perlite, vermiculite, peat moss–based potting soil, sand, etc. Obviously it’s wonderful to make your own potting medium, from both a financial and a footprint-reduction and peatlands-conservation perspective. Plus, it’s great fun and not much work. #gardening #rewilding #fall

Hello, I'm Manda. I've actually been on Mastodon for a while under my cross stitch business account, @infinitybear@mastodon.infinitybeardesigns.com, but I wanted to be able to post more casually, so that's what this account is for! Aside from cross stitch, I enjoy cooking, gardening, reading, making open source indie games, and I'm just starting to get more into poetry. I'll mostly be trying to post or boost joyful or cozy things I come across or make. #introduction #CrossStitch #PlantBased #GameDev #Gardening #Books #Art #FediArt #MastoArt #PixelArt

Israel is not just committing genocide of people but also cultural and ecological genocide. 90% of Palestinian olive trees have been destroyed in the last few years, farms and livelihoods destroyed. A network of Palestinians and allies seeks to preserve Palestinian heirloom seeds and cultural heritage. See below to support this group, order seeds, raise awareness and offer to be a seed saver. https://www.palestineheirloomseedlibrary.com/ #solarpunksunday #solarpunk #gardening #garden #jardin #garten #Palestine

Our #olive tree meant business this year and produced a single olive! 🤯 It's one of those mini trees with a slim trunk, in a pot. We were given it as a house-warming gift when we moved here and two years ago, we thought we'd killed it. We basically shaved its head as a last-ditch attempt to revive it and voilà, a few months later, it came back! I should probably prune it in spring to keep it going. #FrüchteFreitag #FruitFriday #Olivenbaum #oliveTree #olives #Oliven #Garten #gardening

First post, so let’s start with the obvious: our spaces should support the lives we’re actually living. Sometimes that means too much stuff has to go. Sometimes it means the space needs more life—food, soil, learning, people. That’s why I started Common Ground. We help with everything from organizing and estate liquidation to Home Grown gardens and youth programs. So—who else still plays in the dirt? #Introduction #Oregon #Gardening #FoodResilience

Fledgling crows: Day 35. Only random sightings of the gruesome twosome this week. The parents are keeping them on the go, flying and foraging. Itchy gets tired of waiting for a parent to come by with a snack but Dozy seems content to sit in one spot until the lunch wagon appears. No idea if this happens with crows, but Dozy behaves in a less developed way than Itchy. Itchy is almost a full-fledged crow but Dozy is either under-developed or just plain lazy. #Birds #BirdsOfMastodon #Gardening

I wanted to add an interesting note about the gruesome twosome: both of them are leucistic, that is, they both have some pure white feathers on the undersides of their wings. That's how we've been able to tell them apart from the adults, there's a flash of white each time the youngsters spread their wings. https://corvidresearch.blog/2014/07/09/crow-curiosities-what-causes-white-feathers/ #Birds #BirdsOfMastodon #Gardening
