This guy drives a 1979 Elektrek every day (manual transmission!). My favorite is the owner's manual that says you should keep a fire extinguisher in the car at all times. Also, the carpeted steering wheel.

Yes yes I should be focused on local activism and supporting my community via direct action in the face of creeping fascism at the national level.
But have you *seen* the shitshow that is local politics? I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

Completed the dog-day cicadas before the dog-days of summer, named for the 1st day Sirius can be seen to rise above the horizon at dawn. The Tibicen canicularis, also known as dog-day cicada, is common in North America and its power-saw like buzzing song is taken as a sign of summer. 🧪🐡

Ticketmaster could have used an OS wallet and gotten rotating barcodes without exposing their secrets to hackers (e.g. developers.google.com/wallet/ticke...) but they had to force people to install their app I guess. #mobile #android #dev

I didn't think to sniff it to see if it was a parsley-scented russala, but it could have been based on the appearance and location.

Check out this great zoology-themed colorbook I picked up at Topo Paper & Post in Camden, ME. 450 palettes, each inspired by a different species, with RGB and CMYK values. I really like the organic shapes they use on each facing page to help you see how different elements work together. #SciArt

Posting some beautiful scarlet hood 🍄 that I captured in Baxter State Park a few years ago. Because I'm in Maine and it's wet and I wish I was in Baxter. Maybe later this summer.
