It's hard for healthy people to imagine what this is like...I spent about 2 years almost 100% bedbound and it is hell. Showered about once every 10 days because that's all that my energy budget allowed. Some people in this severely ill state experience partial spontaneous recovery but some […]

The desire to insert something you control into the dependency graphs of other human beings, at scale, is a fundamentally capitalist desire. Understand that when you see people doing it and you're deciding who to trust.

Canada sells us diesel across a border we can drive to, and Fuckface's answer was easing sanctions on Russian diesel. Tariffs for the neighbor who actually has the supply, relief for the guy bombing Ukraine. Somebody should explain the art of the deal to him.

How to get into nature, by Rosemary Mosco. rosemarymosco.com/comics/bird-and-m…

4 panel cartoon
How to get into nature
Woman kneels looking at a lizard in the forest:
Notice a living thing.
The lizard, surrounded by plants and insects:
Notice some other things
that live near it.
Text panel:
Notice the connections between them, discover the wider ecosystem, learn about its histories, and find yourself following links from bedrock to stratosphere, between biotic and abiotic, at scales both microbial and massive, until you're hopelessly overwhelmed by the wonder of it all.
Woman is being engulfed by moss:
Fall into a daze and let moss engulf you.
"This is for the best"

A white/tabby kitten biting the nose of a handsaw, looking quite silly. The saw is hanging into the kerf of a wooden beam it's being used to cut,which rests on an old log, which the cat is also sitting on.

That was my first big toolmaking project, I'm happy that it turned out this well since I personally find common handplanes somewhat tedious to adjust and sharpen. By contrast the yariganna is trivial to sharpen, and can be "adjusted" for each pass simply by tweaking how it is held. It puts much […]

About a year ago I forged a reproduction of an ancient japanese carpentry tool called a yariganna, or yarikanna. It may not look like it but it's a primitive form of the handplane, used to shave thin slices to give a smooth finish. It may not be quite true […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Hand-forged yariganna laying on a board that it was just used to plane, with a bunch of corkscrewing shavings scattered about. The tool has a blade made from a leaf spring with a shank that's press-fitted into a white oak handle, encircled with a steel ferrule (made from a section of fence post) to counter the outwards force of the shank being forced in the wood. This contained pressure grips the shank very tightly, which so far has kept it tight despite the lack of adhesive or other fasteners.

The handle is carved rather than turned so noticeably irregular, and it is roasted and oiled.

Close-up of the yariganna's business end, showing the upwards curve and leaf shape of the blade.

Close-up of the board, showing the scalloped finish that the yariganna's curved blade and freehand usage tend to generate. The wood is still very smooth to the touch.

There is a substantial body of anecdotal evidence that spicy food is great for you. I do wonder if, should there be a genuine correlation, it might not be because eating spicy foods causes people to drink more water and thereby avoid chronic dehydration.
