#worldswonderviewtower, built in 1930, and according to Ripley’s believe or not, can see six states from the top. We saw one, because a massive storm brought #hail and the upper floors we were on started leaking. It was quite the adventure but still fun. 😆 www.worldswonderviewtower.org

Taking off the oleander leaf #appliqué and replacing it with #embroidery Did Bayeux Tapestry stitch on the first leaf, then learned fishbone stitch. Didn’t like it, undid the fishbone leaf, reused the thread, and half a leaf in fishbone stitch almost completed the leaf in Bayeux tapestry stitch.

When NASA talked about the Artemis II Mission, they said sent up humans for the poetry and describe what they saw. The @esa.int #eclipse stream did that. Maggie was perfect. (I had to sit down after experiencing my first totality too) The NASA one has been very dry and missed the human aspect. 😞

Dreamt I was in the #Frankenstein novel. Everything was dark sepia toned, shadowed with jagged edges like a wood cut, and I watched the Narrator stalk and terrorise Victor Frankenstein, slowly driving him insane. Woke up and remembered for most of the novel, Victor Frankenstein IS the Narrator.

Made Japanese pickled cumbers. Cucumbers, rice vinegar, sugar, salt. Slight wrinkle in that the only sugar in the house was cinnamon sugar for toast, which is giving it a kind of unusual flavour. Like getting that sweet cinnamon toast flavour, mixed with vinegar and the cucumber crunch. 😋

It’s only a G2 geomagnetic storm, but enough that our cameras can catch the #aurora And some of the Milky Way ribbon

Had an interesting week last week due to getting a new laptop and physically being unable to look at the screen without pain or migraines. Made a tumblr post about the how and why at the urging of friends and was not expecting the amount of attention it’s gotten. 🫣 www.tumblr.com/ickaimp/8200...

Barometer Hell Carousal season is in session and my head is dumb. But, still managing to get stuff done. These’ll go out in the mail to their new owners Monday. Bone skull beads, vertebrae, and bells on dark brass. Two kinds of pearls and dyed agate tube beads on normal brass for the other.

Ngl, disappointed #Nasa #ArtemisIII mission is all men. Yay it’s not four white dudes, but all of my excitement just shrivelled and died when they finished announcing the full set. Most of what made Artemis II fun was Christina.

The #NASA astronaut announcement is unintentionally funny. They keep calling Blue Origin’s Glen rocket going up in a giant fireball as “a significant anomaly”

Love finding and being able to touch cool historical stuff at garage sales. Italian Murano glass mirror for $10. The lady couldn’t remember if she bought it in Murano in the 70s, or if her mom got it in the 50s, but it’s been on her dresser for a very long time.

Kind of interesting the differences between the NASA launches and the ESA launch, prelaunch for Smile felt a bit like an advert for Avio’s rockets. Now that Smile is in space, we’re getting more of the SCIENCE! that Smile is looking for, which am super excited for. 😄Yay Aurora and Magnetic fields!

Attempting to watch Good Omens 3. It’s been two hours, I’m a third of the way in, and I keep having to stop because the second hand embarrassment is hitting hard. And I keep thinking: Where is the humour? It’s just… not funny.

After three Blake’s #Lotaburger in New Mexico didn’t have the pineapple tajin milkshake/no milkshake/couldn’t take orders, stopped by one in Tucson who did. It’s heavier on the tajin than expected, so the flavour profile is salty-spicy-sweet. It’s interesting, but not one I’d get regularly.

Been thinking about that post about there currently being 10 toilets in space and it made me realise that A: China has a space station?! B: why have I not heard about this? C: wondering they broadcast things like the current lunar trip and those of us on the other side of the world just not know?

POSTAL FACT: It's SPUDTACULAR! As with coconuts, potatoes can be mailed without a box. Simply write the address it's going to and your return addresses on the spud, have it weighed for appropriate postage, and it can be shipped as-is.

I love my friends and how they’re just used to me researching and rambling about a random topic for fic.

Icka: I think I’m going to have to give up on my plan of duct taping the moon.
Arin: You just wanted to use those words in that specific order
Arin: Why so? Is there another way you can fix the moon?
Icka: Moon dust on the surface is 2-20 meters thick.
Nothing for the adhesive to stick to.
Icka: Had thought about nail guns, but once again, 2-20 meters thick.
Icka: So.
Back to molten metal core
Icka: And using it as super heated super glue.

Currently at 90% No with over 166,000 votes. Technically a marketing ploy for DuckDuckGo, but it’s also nice to be able to point to a public poll and go “the general public overwhelmingly doesn’t want ai” Kind of like the “water is wet” research studies, have to have the reference voteyesornoai.com
