Threw together this flippable mushroom card demo last night! It is based on the same interface as the search result items from the search engine demo I worked on last month, so I will soon be able to generate a trading card for every known species on earth!

Number 60 of the series at flagpost.org goes to @jackallard.xyz who truly has a mind that transcends this planet — we’re lucky to have him as a studio friend and can’t wait to see his projects transcend the biosphere

propaganda we're not falling for: - there's no nature in cities/urban areas - we already know everything about plants & animals - nature photography requires expensive camera equipment - you need a degree to contribute to science - you need to travel far to see interesting species

enjoyed a nice misty morning in the Olympics yesterday

15k turned out in Arizona to fight oligarchy. The people are waking up.

The postal service has not "long struggled with its finances". The USPS has long struggled with Republicans putting ridiculous financial requirements on it, and more recently dickhead DeJoy's sabotage. Also it struggles with biased media hit jobs like this paywalled drivel.

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions. In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment. Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

No, I know, but nothing happens overnight. I do think we're on the cusp of a shift back to a more atomized Internet which I have always felt is the way it should be. Portable, federated, open, owning your own shit instead of giving your free labor to dickholes.
