Found some cool sticks in the woods so I took them home. I was pretty sure there was luminescent panellus growing on them

Two rotten old chunks of wood in my yard, covered in lichen and small shelf mushrooms

I like to restore vintage railroad signal relays and would absolutely dedicate an entire cabinet to them if I had the room. For now I just keep 2-3 of the nicest ones I've come across.

An old railroad signal relay. It has a plastic base with metal terminals and black coils sticking out of the top.

An old railroad signal relay. The base is round and encased in glass. A very old inspection tag can be seen. Terminals and black coils stick out of the top.

An old railroad signal relay. It is cubic in shape. Each side has a glass window. An array of terminals stick out of the top.

An old iron mining railroad, now used only for delivering plastic pellets to a hose factory. #photography

A scene at late dusk. Railroad tracks in the foreground, some sort of tank with large pipes coming out of it in the middle, and an old white house in the background. Some trees frame the scene, while a lone street light on a utility pole casts a warm orange glow.

2.4 miles around a local lake tonight

A diving board on a lake at dusk. There is what passes for a mountain around here in the background and lights from houses on the waterfront. The diving board is lit up by a passing car, and the entire frame is vaguely obscured by the chain link fence I shot through.

A straight-on view of a five-story brick warehouse with arched windows. On the ground floor is a place called George's Lunch, a tunnel through the building, and a guard shack with a building directory mounted above it.

Peak pandemic Jersey City on Arista EDU 400 4x5, one of the worst films I've ever used. It has its charms, though. #photography

A man rides a motorcycle past a large, old warehouse building. The building says LACKAWANNA in metal letters suspended from the brick walls.

A summer morning walking around Phillipsburg, NJ and Easton, PA. #photography

A block or rowhouses in early morning light. They are all small and neat with lots of projecting engles from crazy rooflines and dormers.

A brick house with multiple bay windows, a set of double doors, a mansard roof, and a lot of ornamentation in the form of lintels and eave brackets.

A very tall and skinny building. A continuous bay window extends five floors above the ground floor, occupied by a business named New York Tailors. The roof is crowned by a floral pediment bracketed by two finials.

A three story green house with a mansard roof. The mansard is covered with slate shingles. It feels like we're looking at the side of the house but the front door is on this side, next to a two story bay window.

The first backyard slime mold of the season and the appropriately named Dead Man's Fingers fungus. #photography

A bumpy yet slimy mass of biological material clings to the bark of a tree.

Dark brown/blue/green stubs of fungus stick up out of the ground. The tips are white and resemble fingernails on a dead person's hand, supposedly.

Not Knowing What Else To Do, Man Takes Picture of Tire Flag #photography #nj

A stack of tires in front of a Shell gas station on a cloudy day. There are five columns of five tires each. They are painted in a way that makes them look like a crappier version of the USA flag

This will probably be 80% cats but, well. #HourlyComicsDay #HourlyComicsDay2025

A black-and-white ink drawing of a black-and-white cat on a black background; the cat is saying "mrr?" and looks very awake. The time is 4:00am.

A black-and-white ink drawing of two cats eating. The text around the tabby cat reads "Earl, 15. - Gets dry kitten food as it's the only thing he'll currently eat" The text around the black-and-white cat reads "Astrid, 2. - Wet food in the bathroom so she doesn't eat Earl's." The time is 5:00am.

A black-and-white ink drawing of a tabby cat sitting on a mat that's on top of a blanket. The text reads "Earl's settled onto his heating pad in front of the radiator after a post-breakfast wander." The time is 6:00am.

A black-and-white ink drawing that's divided into two parts. On top is a French coffee press next to two coffee mugs and an English muffin on a plate. The text reads "I make coffee and and English muffin." The bottom drawing is of a woman wearing glasses sitting on a couch reading a book. The text reads "Then a brief, horrifying look at the internet, followed by some time with a book." The time is 7:00am. The book is The Strange Bird by Jeff VanderMeer, but it's pretty illegible in the drawing.

A winter scene of a large white house with a snowy yard. A medium-sized tree with a few red leaves still holding on partially obscures the house. Under the tree sits a rather moldy Cadillac sedan. The light is diffuse, the atmosphere foggy.

A little comic about desire paths.

Ok so…
There’s a nice little park on a corner, and a path running directly to one edge of the park. That’s the first image, but there’s 12 other images here. In the second image, there is now a desire path running diagonally across the park. Next image, the path has been blocked by a park bench that the council has put in as a deterrent. Unfazed, in image 4 the path now deftly avoids the park bench. In images 5 and 6 the process is repeated, this time with a strategically placed bin which the desire path also avoids. Presumably in a fit of rage, the council plants an entire hedge to stop people creating new desire paths but eventually this too is defeated and a new path find a way. Finally, the council admits defeat and turns the desire path into a proper paved pathway. After a little while, a new desire path curving off this new paved pathway begins to emerge…

A side street in Cape May. I love a good utility mashup, and felt a deep need to capture that door for some reason. fuji ga645w portra 400 #photography

A street scene at dawn. In the foreground is an obscured sidewalk and an asphalt street. A utility pole with three transformers, a sodium street light, and assorted power and telecommunication wires stands next to a parking meter. In the background is a low building with a picket fence. Everything on the building is painted the same color. An old sagging door raises questions.

Inspired by @simko-bednarski.bsky.social's repair threads, here’s how I’m going to add an AUX IN cable to an old boombox. This is a 20+ year old Sony CFD-E95, described by Sony as an “egg shaped CD boombox.” It has AM/FM radio, a cassette deck, and a CD player.
