iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Since books are sexy, here's my current reading list. It's gifts from friends and recommendations and me revisiting some childhood reads. Just finished my current fantasy book so time to select a new one.

My Christmas Godzilla sneaking in on the left, and several books I haven't read yet or haven't read since I was a teen.

Welcome to the world, you picked kind of a shitty day to come out though. Should I bring it flowers/breakfast?

Having a black cat will gaslight you. Think i see a cat run into my closet. Don't want them in there so I go to hunt it down. Lights on, looking, looking, nothing, just camping gear. "Maybe I just saw things." Hours later she comes slinking out. How?

Work computer took 5 minutes to save a PDF. In that time ADHD had me scroll here. Pet a cat. Get up to bother my wife. Eat an entire meal. Forget what I was in the middle of doing.

Took the books I have bought and haven't read yet and stacked them and it is 4 feet tall.... So maybe I need to work on the tower of shame. (Doesn't include the digital stuff.)

Sometimes when I'm mowing recognize a native plant coming up and mow around it, creating random little patches of growth in my yard. I've been avoiding this aster for about 3 months now and it finally bloomed after falling over. Worth it.

Asters! White flowers that kinda look like an egg with yolk in the middle, and my shadow because I wasn't paying attention while taking the picture.

Normally I don't participate in the "I hated ____ before it was cool," but someone once said I looked like Ed Sheeran and it was probably the most insulting thing anyone has ever said to me, so here's my contribution: I saw one of his videos years ago and it just looked like incel fanfic.

Dude I got more monarchs than tomatoes at this point.

Christopher @bored-christopher.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I learned monarchs will travel pretty far before forming a chrysalis, so you'll never really find them near the milkweed they are eating. This one traveled 8 feet straight up. Impressive for someone who was born on and lived on their food.

Caterpillar forming the J before forming it's chrysalis.

Renting a cabin with the wife for the weekend and the garden here is making me jealous.

Ten seconds of bumblebee Zen. Did you know honey bees kinda suck at pollinating compared to other bees. They're also not native to the Americas. We need to show more love to our native little bumbles and their goofy belly flops on to flowers.

Two years from seed and my potato vine finally bloomed.

I white flower shaped like a star in a Pentagon with a pink core.

I have dozens of caterpillars right now. I'm so happy.

I really appreciate the neighbors morning glory climbing the fence to say "Hi."

I've been thinking a lot about contracts and oaths and everyone in Game of Thrones knows a lot of these oaths are bullshit but the sword and bowing adds a lot of weight. All I'm saying is we should offer our sword instead of signing an employment contract.

So garden is chaos since I've been gone but my evening primrose is finally blooming. I love them. It's also a host to a wasp that cuts holes in the blooms. What's it doing? I don't know! But it's neat so I'm letting the primrose spread for the wasp and it's little yellow flowers.

I can hear him chew from three feet away. Monarchs are not for those with misophonia.

Christopher @bored-christopher.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Breaking monarch News! Check out this big one, I'm guessing he's from the first batch that disappeared on me cause he's double the size of the others.

Christopher @bored-christopher.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Monarch minute. I check in on these guys every morning while I'm getting my coffee. Only two I've found that have reached this size. I'm hoping more of the other ones have survived and are just better at hiding.

Today's monarch minute, Mom laying eggs, another butterfly's kids already eating my swamp milkweed. I'd consider kids if I could do the monarch approach, dump em in a random yard and take off.

The only way these two will share a bed is if it's big enough for them to not touch.

The sunflowers are about 8 or 9 feet tall. Ignore the smokey sky.

Very very tall red sunflower. It looks down on you, judging.

Oh hey, I almost never get all 4 cats in one picture. Enjoy.

These tiny little out of focus dots are the first monarch caterpillars I've seen in my yard. Wish them luck.

A few seconds of some early fireflies.

I've named the sparrow Thunk because without his tail feathers he doesn't fly great and that's the noise he makes when he lands. He's not completely terrified of me and will land on the chair across from me in our little pavilion and hang out. I love him. Then some bonus pics.

A monarch butterfly has finally come to my garden this year.

Grapevine Skeletonizer Moth. So far the best name I've run into.

Black lobster bodied moth with a red collar sitting in milkweed.

Harvested a ton of Columbine seeds, thinking of setting up a plot just for them. I have two bushes to plant, it's starting to rain.

Things I learned as a kid with undiagnosed ADHD, the below (I was in a barrier of churches), and melting ice and snow on the side of the car window made great 2D stages for mental platforming.

Fellow ADHDer's you ever find finally conquering one executive dysfunction leads to defeating a few more? Finished a project and now I'm finishing one more and making doctors appointments and all that other shit my brain makes difficult.

Rain means I can take a bath with whiskey instead of watering the garden.

Christopher @bored-christopher.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

My profile pic is probably a little misleading because I'm not a cat and I don't post my pets as much as my garden.

Christopher @bored-christopher.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Well now I know that this is what a ripe serviceberry looks like, because the damn birds ate them before I could. I guess giving them one more day was not the right call.
