ranger vs. druid identification
druid: can tell you what kind of tree that is
ranger: can tell you what kind of bird is sitting in that tree
ranger: never gets lost
druid: gets lost all the time but is so cool about being lost it's impossible to tell that they're actually lost instead of "yeah I just wanted to go over here and look at this tree for a while"
druid: has ALL THE HOUSEPLANTS
ranger: has ALL THE PHOTOS OF THEIR PETS
druid: probably vegan
ranger: probably extremely omnivorous, to the point of being willing to eat just about anything that isn't moving too much at the moment
ranger's house: extremely comfortable if you aren't allergic to animals; the primary decor is shed fur
druid's house: warm, humid, sunny, may not actually have any surfaces for human use that aren't covered in plants
@pizza cubic feet is so strange 🙃 I cannot help but think of small box-shaped feet now...

On misogynoir: citation, erasure, and plagiarism by Moya Bailey and Trudy
“Misogynoir describes the anti-Black racist misogyny that Black women experience. Despite coining the term in 2008 and writing about the term online since 2010, we experience, to varying degrees, our contributions being erased, our writing not cited, or our words plagiarized by people who find the word compelling.”

My new e-bookshop is open!
I believe discovery, fairness and inclusivity are at the heart of digital bookselling.
Inclusive and DRM-free
All formats for all devices, no need to convert. You get a DRM-free e-book that works and is yours to keep.
Fair means fair
Authors get 80% of the profit. No deep discounts, or e-books that cost the same as the print version.
Genuine discovery
A curated e-bookshop, every title read and loved before hitting the shelves.
I'm working on a mechanical automatic rainfall-triggered irrigation shutoff valve for my mechanical engineering senior design project, and I'm wondering what folks with more gardening experience think of the concept. Existing rain sensors are all electronic; I was thinking the purely mechanical system would make it better-suited for off-grid, low-impact applications.
Does this sound interesting to you? I could use feedback from people who know more about #gardening and #diy
...Huh. A group of three homeless people just came to my door because they heard I have personal hygiene kits (toothbrush, toothpaste, etc)
I... did happen to have some of those things from previous volunteer work, but I don't normally stock them, and I'm curious where they heard that! I keep like, period supplies around, maybe a game of telephone got that mixed up?
ANYWAY.
Give me some of your money so I can buy toothpaste and toothbrushes for people who need them.
