This was a lot of work! Next time I'll try to be more brave about removing material down to a slimmer form. #woodworking #crafts

Second stool done this weekend. #wood #woodworking #carpentry #crafts

First stool. Pretty proud of it! Wood split from log, hewed with axe, shaped with knife and hand sanded. Finished with linseed oil. No machines, nails, screws or glue. #woodworking

A little carving I did earlier this summer.

Carved a little bowl this weekend. Not sure what wood. A bit chunky looking but I enjoyed working on it in the crisp sunshine. #craft #woodcarving

Echinacea is blooming #garden #nature

Made some smashed sunchokes with my early spring harvest. Tasted richer than in fall, and just as farty.

Mechanization of everything saved us so much manual effort that people need to go to the gym out find other artificial exercise in order to stay healthy. Does AI mean we'll need brain gyms?

Really enjoyed this talk with @rabble on the history of social network protocols and the vision for a decentralized future built on nostr.

In the context of centralized social media & video platforms, the most important aspect of anti-censorship to me is about control of the algos. Opaque recommendation and prioritization of content is the largest source of harm there. What's good for the business is bad for you and your society. If the default recommend settings on your platform client were "fear, hate, greed", would you uncheck those? Nostr does fix this.

Started to harvest potatoes, first season trying to grow a few. Such abundance for a tiny input! It's very satisfying to feel their weight. We made latkes and they were the tastiest ever.
