super queer event this friday in mcr!! at the last one, i found myself having purchased this… uhm… thing ra.co/events/2503156

A sock puppet with very long limbs in a leopard print. It has a face that is sort of monkey-like and red button eyes.

It is sat on a yellow floating shelf in the shape of a long hashtag. The shelf also contains:
• Some Lego minifigures
• More soft toys
• A bunch of Wii games, including Lego Batman: The Videogame and Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour

I could not put down Fawn by C.N. Vair! An enchanted, potent story of the steps a wildlife rehabilitator must take to protect her sanctuary. Bursting with feminine rage, and emotionally devastating when it needs to be. Fiercely recommend.

A Palma 2 Pro colour e-ink smartphone displays front cover of Fawn by C.N. Vair. It rests on a wooden table alongside a white Magic Keyboard and a pink heart necklace.

enjoying the phone and am reading SO much, but the camera on this thing is not great. 1 - takes ages to focus on a subject (and can often fail to do so) and 2 - bad at scenes with massive lighting contrasts or low light

today I remembered after five minutes of blasting a block of frozen soup in the microwave that microwaves do not melt ice

a very frozen block of mushroom and haggis soup sat sort of on top of a plastic tub, inside a microwave

this is sketchy as fuck, but it looks pretty cool at least

Two homemade corner shelves. One is larger, and about a metre higher than the lower one.

The lower one holds a huge Yamaha MSP10 speaker with a spider plant on top in a red kidney beans tin. The lower shelf is supported on its front two chamfered corners with hemp rope extending up to the top shelf.

It looks rather precarious.

this comment on an article about EVs has made my day

Comment from “Manzikert”: “Why can't EVs have two batteries with different charging ports? Then if you want to charge up quickly then you simply plug both in.”

today at The Range: DUCK and “England Coloured Hairspray”

A bronze duck statue garden ornament sat on wooden decking in an outdoor garden centre. Its price tag label has simply the word DUCK in full capital letters, with £39.99 underneath.

A cardboard box of white and red hairspray bottles. The cardboard box is labelled England Coloured Hairspray, rather than England Flag Coloured Hairspray, red and white England hairspray, etc. No, just England Coloured.

progress so far on the robot shopping assistant- - xbox kinetic v1 and v2 janked and USBified so bobot has eyes and knows where he is going and doesn’t crash (by accident anyway) - hoverboard arrived - shopping basket is still here

An Xbox One Kinect V2 sensor bar connected to a MacBook. One of the screens of the setup computer has four panels:

1. The top left is the black and white infrared view that the Xbox Kinect sensor sees.
2. The bottom left is an RGB standard camera-type view.
3. The bottom right is a black and white depth map that the sensor creates for a 3D visualisation.
4. The top right is a sort of mix between the depth map and the RGB.

For context, the connecting of the sensor bar to USB is a very janked job, with each USB 3.0 wire individually soldered and held in place with cloth tape and hope.

an Xbox 360 Kinetic (v1) bar sat on a very messy desk with its light on. The wiring job for this one was just as awful, just fewer wires (USB 2.0)

A window on my Mac desktop with the left panel being a depth map created of the space that the Xbox 360 Kinect sensor sees, and the right panel being a black and white image that it sees.

A white Fusion hoverboard on a carpet (my living room) and my leg in the bottom left

wormery magic. these wicked worms have turned smelly food waste 💩 into lovely (and odourless) compost!!

two green plastic boxes side by side. the left one is full of food waste (potato peelings, tea leaves, tea bags, broccoli) and the right one is half-full of soil and worms! (the one on the right is half-full because the worms digest all the food waste and it takes less volume when they poop it out 💩 in compost form.)

worm compost in green tub. lots of wormies. some broken eggshells which haven’t been processed yet

close up of the worm compost. it is moist, thick, rich compost

replaced the nickel flatwound strings of my fretless bass with nylon flatwounds and they sound insane! so warm and deep, it feels like a double bass and sounds so mellow and inviting.

A blue-bodied fretless bass guitar with black nylon flatwound strings sat on a piano stool in front of the piano. Its flat fretboard has lighter wood inset where the frets used to be.
