Tell Congress: funding for bike safety projects MUST continue! Take action: action.bikeleague.org/page/101946/... 515391
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 21/08/2026A yellow haired sun fly! This hover fly made very loud bee-like buzzing sound too! Looks scary for sure with its stripes, perhaps the reason it was so nonchalant and let me take a photo. #BugSky #invertebrate #pretty #macro #nature 050

Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Feeding some animals like local birds in your backyard is mostly OK. Raccoons? I couldn’t find any professional recommend it, all I found is wildlife experts and pest control recommend against it. Wondering if anyone can share more info? 100
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 10/07/2026Bread looks great! But I’d prefer a all-paper no plastic bag so I can compost it after. 110

Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 04/06/2026I’d say relatively easy to make, especially if one has experience with fermented foods. The hard part is keeping it warm enough but not too warm and not waiting too long, otherwise the mold will start producing spores, which are fine, but bitter and not tasty. I’m stop to figure out the best process 010

Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 29/05/2026I actually like it! The spoiler hidden in front is clever. It’s a 5 seater. It also doesn’t scream mid life crisis 😆 The color is nice on its own, but the reason you think “plastic” is the subconscious association with the iPhone 5c (blue + black color and rounded corners). 010

Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 28/05/2026I also have the impression that in the US there is this perception that public transit is for “poor people” and it’s unsafe and unsanitary, not something to enjoy. 010
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Offer to buy him a roll of color of your choosing! 😄 3d printing is pretty empowering and opens up the mind to a whole new world of understanding about manufacturing, design, engineering and generally thinking about how things are made. 210
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 28/05/2026This can lead to sense of ignoring harms done that carry injustice forward in generations. A better approach is to be aware and present the full story. 000
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 28/05/2026If we ever want to be better, we must become aware. Often times we pick and choose parts of people, lionize them and create hero stories to inspire and celebrate but inevitably that can be interpreted as celebration of the whole, including the bad parts. 100

Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 28/05/2026On a business trip to Denver, I was the only one from the team to take bus from the airport and light rail to the hotel and conference center.

Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 21/05/2026They are shaggy mane mushrooms, they start white, have loose ring, the stem is slender and hollow and they grow from the soil and are not attached to decaying wood 000
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 20/05/2026I heard from insiders that same thing was said earlier this year after the previous layoffs round. 010
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 20/05/2026INaturalist also suggests genius Xeromphalina, I agree with that. Could be a number of species, they all look quite alike. Perhaps cauticinalis or campsnelloides as they look more yellow than orange? 011
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Do you know the species? They look like cabbage parachute (Gymnopus brassicolens). 111
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Just a note of caution: make sure they really are shaggy manes, make sure they are deliquescing and not rotting, shaggy manes uptake heavy metals make sure the site is clean and foraging is permitted. Don’t pick mushrooms unless you are an expert. 030
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Also I grow and eat them myself, check my posts for examples 021

Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Ah that sounds really scary and painful 😣 These injuries can be very slow to heal and can be debilitating. I hope you get to full recovery. 100
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 17/05/2026A potent neurotransmitter, it is acting as a disorienting/disrupting drug for insects and slugs that try to eat the mushrooms, so that’s more like a defence mechanism. Its effect on humans is accidental. 020
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 17/05/2026I love them too! Just be careful where you pick them because they readily uptake heavy metals from polluted sites. 010
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 17/05/2026They look scary and off putting when inky, but still perfectly edible 😄 231
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Great question! The toxins typically are not fast acting, and only work through ingestion (can’t get poisoned by touching poisonous mushrooms), so perhaps it’s just accidental incompatibility with certain organisms. Note that the shaggy mane itself is not poisonous even when it turns black. 100
Evtim G @evtim.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Shaggy mane mushrooms (coprinus comatus) are still edible when they turn inky. I satay, put them on pizza or if they are too far gone make them into sauce 😋 #fungifriends #fungi #mushrooms #food #nature 2131
