Hi Fediverse! I have #CommisionsOpen for a very small, very niche, very FREE run of momento moris. I paint tiny memorials for people lost to Alzheimer's/dementia. Give me a small consumer good that reminds you of your loved one and I will paint it on a paper mache seed bomb full of forget-me-not seeds. Suitable for framing or planting, whatever feels right. I'm taking ten FREE submissions through EOY. Details/form here. kaseysmith.net/memory-seed-bom #mastoart #artistsonmastodon #AlzheimersAwareness

@ScottSoCal we’ve managed to get a good deal here in the UK. I don’t think people realise how much they have come down in price.

@ScottSoCal i’d love to be able to put solar on our roof, but we’re end of terrace and I fear we have very little roof space actually the right way. But for those that can, I think this is absolutely the way to go.

Friends don't let friends have sex with men that claim they are being discriminated against because they are white.

@ScottSoCal If we relied on her reviews, I think we'd be at 1.5 stars. "Food good quality, but portion sizes small, dessert especially. Staff not as attentive as they should be, and over-react to normal things like muddy feet and shedding."

She is supremely dissatisfied that third breakfast is not segueing neatly into dinner. It is not even noon. #DogsOfMastodon #husky

For the past year I’ve been in a quandary about my petrol powered car. I’ve had it since 2 months before the kids were born and the repairs are getting more expensive.

We walk to the city (it’s only 15 minutes away!) but I drive to get to work which has moved to a business park out of the city.

Realistically with two 8 year olds and a job, I can’t live without a car…much as I would like to.

So today I’m buying a used electric car. It’s the least worst thing I can do right now…

A reminder to my #ActuallyAutistic comrades that despite what people may tell you, YOU DON’T THINK THAT YOU’RE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.

You’ve been conditioned to be blamed for your feelings and emotions from a very young age.

You’ve been conditioned to think everything is your fault.

This came from your parents, your teachers, classmates, ABA, therapists, doctors, friends, and society.

Now it’s being weaponised against you with comments like β€œnot everything is about you”, after YEARS of THEM making everything about YOU

It’s not on you. You don’t think you’re the center of attention. You just want to live. To feel. To be you.

Don’t let them keep you down.

The other day we were discussing how we respond when people ask how we're doing. This seems to fit in with that discussion.

By the war's end, approximately 900,000 Black Americans had served in various military branches and the Army Nurse Corps. Upon returning home, these Black WWII veterans were eligible for benefits like a free college education under the GI Bill of 1944, but pervasive discrimination hindered their access to these benefits.

The 4 stages of hubs being DIY butch around the house:
1) Start a project that he's never done before and doesn't know how to do.
2) Decide he needs a tool or part to complete the project.
3) Talk me into going to the store with him, so I can "help make sure he gets the right part/tool".
4) When we get back home, hand the part/tool to me, so I can get it done and put everything back together.

Guess who has clean dryer vents, all the way to the outside of the house?

"It's all the same forest," say Korean firefighters battling blazes in Northern Quebec"

cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/wi

The Koreans are shocked to report they have found trees are burning "through the roots" because global warming, CO2 from Carbon fuels holds more heat, continents are drying out, forests becoming KINDLING.

Climate change is carbon fuel. End Carbon By BUILDING SUN AND WIND like tanks and ships for war.
