Overnight, a masked bandit broke into our kitchen. Armed with opposable thumbs, he proceeded to sample everything on offer. I’d just visited the farmers market, so the menu was extensive. I can now share a highly specific peer-reviewed list of what this particular raider did & did not enjoy. 🧵

Went for a hike in Soldiers’ Delight Natural Environment Area yesterday with @vexedmuddler.bsky.social. This area is a “serpentine barrens”—an area where the usual central Maryland vegetation does not grow well owing to unusual soil chemistry, leading to a prairie grassland-oak savanna environment.

Photo of a gravelly trail passing through a field of short grass, with only a few trees in evidence.

Photo of the exposed serpentine rock, which is part of an older oceanic plate pushed up some 450 million years ago, around the time the Appalachians were formed.

A look up the rocky trail later in the evening when the light started to get that golden-hour glow. The leaves of one of the native oaks can be seen overhead at center.

A setting sun illuminates a field of (mostly) native sedges and wildflowers. Invasives are a problem everywhere, but only certain plants can adapt well to the unusual soil in this area.

I made custom prider emojis for my discord server 😅 Missing the ace flag but waiting to hear which version they want.

An array of 9 (3 rows of 3) emojis of a male Maratus spider with arms up in the classic dance pose. Each has a different pride flag on the raised abdomen flap. In order m, they are the progress pride flag, pan, bi, lesbian, gay, trans, aromantic, nonbinary, and genderqueer.

Also here’s a recent one that I’m very proud of, not least because I designed the polish for the background! I named the polish “Soup, Goliath, Albireo” because I am good at naming things. The art depicts the inspo: microbial soup, a Goliath beetle, the double/triple/maybe quad star Albireo

A close up of 4 fingers on my left hand. The background of each nail is a murky teal polish with green-turquoise shifting magnetic pigment and pink/orange green shifting iridescent flakes. Atop that I hand-painted a variety of colourful bacteria on my pinkie and ring nail, and the majority of a black and white Goliath beetle on my middle nail, with its blue- purple wings spreading across my index and a bit of my ring nail.

A close-up of my thumb nail with the same base polish, but I blobbed in a bit of purple to make it look extra-spacey. I used a dotting too to dot on some simple stars, and then hand-painted the two visible components of Albireo (an optical binary): the smaller blueish star and the larger orange star, which is itself a binary star.

It’s just been browns to me attention that I haven’t posted here in at least a month. As it’s Pride month, let’s have some rainbows, shall we? Here are a few recent manicures I’ve worn.

A close-up of 4 nails on my left hand. They have been planted with a collection of milky white polishes that contain different colours of holographic glitters. I blob-brushed them on in two layers, using the different glitter colours to create a roughly diagonal gradient of 3-4 shades across each nail, which combine to create a rainbow across the full hand.

Another close-up of 4 fingers on my left hand. This time the background is painted in a mottled dark blue and green, and there’s a neon rainbow of Kodama spirits painted on top.

A shot showing all 5 nails on my left hand. Each nail is painted with a translucent white polish containing a rainbow mix of glitters. Around the perimeter of each nail, I painted a thin rainbow line. On the tip of each nail there is a silhouette of one or two cat heads, in rainbow order across the nails, and above there a rainbow of paw prints, outlined in white.

Another shot of all 5 nails on my left hand. This time they’re painted in an opalescent pale grey (almost white) polish packed with subtle iridescent flakes. On each nail I used a nail stamping plate to stamp one mermaid tail on each nail. Each tail is a gradient rainbow of holographic polishes, using 3-5 polishes per tail. I also hand-painted little rainbow bubbles above and around them.

There were still flowers to be found in the desert last week. Left to right: Woolystar (Eriastrum sp.), Desert Calico (Loeseliastrum matthewsii), Paperbag Bush (Scutellaria mexicana), and buckwheat (Eriogonum, not sure which species). 🌿🌸

A closeup photo of a pale blue, five-petaled flower against a tan desert background. An unopened bud is visible lower left, and the foliage is made of thin, spiny-tipped leaves.

A closeup photo of a wildflower called desert calico, against a background of desert sand and out of focus flowers of the same kind. The flower is speckled dark pink and red with more white toward the center. The few petals are ruffled and reminiscent of butterfly wings; long white stamens are tipped in yellow pollen.

A photo of a stem ending in two flowers, flanking an unopened bud in the center, against a blue-sky and clouds background. The buds are inflated and reddish pink; the flowers, which resemble salvia flowers, are white at the base, becoming pale lavender above and dark purple below.

Also, not wholly unrelated, there’s a tiny indie brand doing a run of polish that is supposed to contain actual moondust - yes I will be attempting to purchase some.

Giant leopard moth mani? Giant leopard moth mani! Hand painted in nail polish, as usual, because I enjoy suffering.

A photo of my left hand with all nails facing the camera. Distributed across all but my pinkie nail, I have painted (parts of) a giant leopard moth against a pale, frosty, sparkly green background.

A close-up of the thumb nail, on which I have painted the moth’s thorax, head, and first pair of legs. It’s mostly fluffy white with touches of grey. The spots on the thorax are a rich dark blue encircled by black. The legs are black with white and blue markings, and the antennae are black with a touch of blue.

A close up of the other 4 nails. In this position it becomes clear that the index, middle, and ring finger nails when lined up depict the abdomen and wings of the moth. The wings are partially spread, just enough to reveal flashes of orange and blue in the abdomen on the middle nail. The wings themselves spread across the index and ring nails, white with stark black spots and rings. The white is softened with a bit of grey shadow hinting at the venation.

Did I forget to post my Artemis II nails that I did last week? Oops. I did them during a live stream on my YouTube channel. Someone in chat requested I include Artemis the cat from Sailor Moon so obviously he had to go on my thumb.

A close up of 4 fingers on my left hand. All are painted with a black nail polish with silver holographic flecks as the base. My index nail features the Orion capsule with solar panels splayed. The far side of the moon spans the tips of my middle, ring, and pinkie finger, and on my ring finger nail the earth is visible, halfway risen beyond the lunar surface.

A close up of my thumb nail featuring the white cat from Sailor Moon, wearing a cartoon-style bubble astronaut helmet. He’s slightly curled in a classic feline shrimp pose with his tail curling out behind him.

I largely agree with you. The majority of “Christmas” songs I enjoy aren’t really about Christmas, they’re just sort of wintery and festive.

I spent a (thankfully brief) period of my life on assistance. I had many years after that in minimum wage jobs where I could only save a little. On minimum wage if I was careful I could get the better pair of winter boots once every 3 years instead of the cheap shitty ones every year. A luxury.

People who've never been poor don't get this. "Just learn to budget!" fuck off. I've had good jobs where saving was easy, & even with shitty jobs i could save *some*. These days, on government disability, not only can i *not* save anything, but every irregular expense sets me a little further back.
