SCOOP: In Feb, federal agencies "lost" many #FOIA requests but you probably had no idea. It turns out that the FOIAs disappeared due to an "insider threat attack" by 2 employees at a software company who were previously convicted of hacking into the State Dept

Day 83 of posting cool mushrooms:

The Blue-Green Stropharia (Stropharia aeruginosa) can be commonly found growing on mulch in Britain, Asia, Europe, and parts of N. America.

It is one of the VERY few green mushrooms that exist at all, alongside the Parrot 🍄.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Day 65 of posting cool mushrooms every day:

Mycena subcyanocephala is the current smallest mushroom in the world! It has been spotted a grand total of 12 times.

Fruiting bodies are about 1mm tall. It grows only (as far as we know) in Taiwan's tropical areas.

This was a fun project for a very deserving streamer, community builder, and friend. I'm very happy with how it turned out!
I can't believe it... A very incredible @ddavidn.net made my mandrake into a plush 🥹. He's something I drew as a mascot 7 years ago and has represented our community in all that time. I have only dreamt of him becoming real 😭❤️

If you'd like to make some time, we can hop on some kind of video call and I can show you what I've collected over the past few years.

Minolta SRT101, 201 or higher, Pentax K1000 are all solid choices. And of course, the Canon and Nikon equivalents but they are selling for too much right now. Pentax ME is cheap but doesn't have manual exposure (I still like it)

I will look around. Also, I could just send you a free Minolta SRT (probably an SRT100) and lens to play with, if you want. The 101 is a bit better but I don't have an extra 101 at the moment.

Day 26 of posting cool mushrooms every day:

The Veiled Lady (Phallus indusiatus) is well-known throughout many of the world's tropical areas.

In eastern Asia it is a delicacy and thought of as an aphrodisiac. This meant it was usually kept for special occasions.

My phone decided overnight to change its own PIN (I do not know what it is) and change my alarm to something very loud and obnoxious. Which I couldn't turn off, because I don't know the PIN. Very exciting.
