Tbh I wonder if 500 years from now we’ll have viral museums with the most idk upvoted art or most reblogged whatever. Here’s the hall of funko figurines of superheroes meant confer their strengths and blessings. Special exhibit on the role of Daily Deviations in fertility rituals.

It’s such soul-killing garbage now I stg. The crazy thing is I just never functionally updated any of my sites after 2012 or so and they all still do what I need them to. there hasn’t been any tech I’d call an improvement, just a bunch of discoverability scams to make nice people stressed and ill

Went to see some European art at the museum, they had a lot of BNAs from the bible fandom. Kinda got the impression some of them were just doing it cuz of whale commissioners tho and not cuz they were super into it

I guess it’s worth figuring out your primary intent… if audience-building, that will cost something no matter what unless you know someone. if it’s simple public archival, there’s still a lot of ok options, but if you’re of the means, paying for the security of owning everything is better.

I’m going down with the ship, lol. and I love you for respecting the tried and true personal methods. As a classic internet user forced to reach people for dayjob it seems that the main places people share (and find reach) anymore are monetizable/job-yielding platforms like insta or, yeah, Patreon.

I spotted my first acorn on the ground this weekend, and you know what that means: time for me to remind you YOU CAN EAT THEM I drew a 20 page comic about harvesting & processing acorns for food! You can download it for free (or get a print copy for not-free) from my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/s/8d34f77329

I love how new audiences continue to discover & appreciate this diagram from my 2014 book 'Dinosaurs Without Bones' (@pegasus-books.bsky.social). Before including it in the book, I imagined, calculated, & drew it, then asked a physicist to peer-review it. Physics, math, & paleontology made fun! 🧪🦕🤮

My husband has taught himself to sound literally EXACTLY like Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hunger Force and this is not a tenable situation for me. Nobody prepared me for the possibility of Meatwad offering commentary in any random conversation without my consent.

Thank you!! nothing like germinating a new plant for the first time :'] My first Aristolochia in general actually, I just realized I've 100% flubbed a few other species prior to this

Der-shing 德馨 Helmer @shingworks.com · 31/07/2026

I've run several test batches prior to this thanks to having a lot of seed to work with, but those all failed and this was my last attempted batch. Glad it worked! I am guessing it's less about me and more about time of year (right before the monsoon hits in AZ) so who knows, maybe I'll get more...

Der-shing 德馨 Helmer @shingworks.com · 31/07/2026

Yeah, just double-checked, this batch was planted May 31 (I gave this batch seed some time to age since Oct collection), so ~9 weeks to germ. No pre-soak, but were kept very wet/ humid for 7 weeks in a seeding box, then moved to outdoor shade about 2 weeks ago. DEF thought I killed them all

Der-shing 德馨 Helmer @shingworks.com · 31/07/2026

😭 It finally happened, I germinated an Aristolochia watsonii. The grower who gave me these seeds, the incredible Gene Joseph, said that even he doesnt get more than one or two out of a hundred seeds and he doesn’t know how to improve the germ rate. Grateful I got this one after months of trying!
