#herps Baby salamander from the dried up vernal pond. Brought 6 or so back to hopefully grow up. They were under a large rock at the lowest point where there was still a little moisture. Everywhere else was dry.

#ethnobotany : breathing exercises: The heart of Skywoman teaches patience. Maybe tomorrow.

Did my part.

#herps Nose shed. She managed most of the bits around her eyes, but the shed in the middle is thick and dirty from digging. Going to soak it with a towel later.

#herps Yay frog legs! First year of frogs breeding in some of my outdoor tubs for live cultures, plants, etc... Guess the water is pretty clean :)

#actuallyautistic Kiddo is across the street playing with a friend. Wife is out to dinner and manicures with her friend and mentor former boss. I get to sit in the backyard undisturbed by the ponds :)

#herps Alex got a new hat and posed.

#actuallyautistic This looks very interesting. At least to me lol I can't wait until October... So I'm going to look up papers and more than likely reach out to at least say thank you long before then lol learningcircle.ubc.ca/2025/05/13/a...

Greater camas transitioning from flower to seed pod.

#herps She decided to sleep on the fan palm mat. I was wondering what to cover the top with. Now I know she likes the mats a lot and Thule / cattail would be perfect to make a larger one.

#herps Alex decided to come hang out on her roof today. Ate some clovers, dandelion greens and a few roaches. All by hand of course because she's a princess lol

#pwd bad timing after very recent failures by several of their members I reported as Deaifraud I nominated myself. They have failed so hard and have FCC gov email addresses but aren't actually FCC yet do accessibilty for the FCC ... See also idiocy loop lol

#herps You tricked me! I thought the first one was a golden raspberry, but I know the difference.

#localonly Note to self: Put on a face mask when harvesting old fern fronds for mounding the Ozette plots lol Year 3 of using only seasonally available local materials. Moss, bed straw, vetch, clover. Lots of moss to remove from the roof each year :)

#actuallyautistic Learning new languages. As things sprout, bloom, present berries I'm using more Lushootseed words when I'm outside talking to plants. Yet when my wife asks what the dog is getting into I call the food composter the "spinny food garbage thing" lol Then I forgot how to say thank you

www.npr.org/2025/05/19/n... I just applied for a position that opened at Emerald Downs. I hope I'm not replacing a missing person sad 😢 OTOH if I get the position it will be my first job not working for the white man as it's Muckleshoot owned.

#ethnobotany #actuallyautistic When special interests, traditional knowledge and an inability to process a lot of meds combine with a sore wrist from a day of gardening. I will be strong for my ancestors, I will be strong for my people, I will be strong for generations to come. Thank you studz

@jamesgunn.bsky.social Wow, how dare you make Superman human. He doesn't feel pain at all, certainly not in his heart and soul. No wincing at all! I mean, humanity is the literal soul of Superman. Don't bend to the can throwers, that was a beautiful moment. That was soul pain, not physical.

#Caturday Hobbes napping in the dogs spot lol

@stkildaseedlibrary.bsky.social Getting close with the camas. Bit overcast/ rainy this next week. Hopefully all goes well. The plan for this year is ensuring those seeds end up back in the pot with fresh soil to hopefully germinate and grow more then save and share and maybe a bulb or two to eat.

@adamsmith.house.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov www.kuow.org/stories/wash... I went ahead and made a comment. Let's see if the news wants to talk this time. I know it usually takes about 5 days to fail, but I know that already sooooo yeah you already failed several times.

@adamsmith.house.gov Ahem, how's ownership of Fascistesla going for you?

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @adamsmith.house.gov abcnews.go.com/Politics/sen... So that you don't have to post it. Now you have time to redress grievances

@newsnation.bsky.social Let's talk about the attachment. It ain't the first time @adamsmith.house.gov @murray.senate.gov or @cantwell.senate.gov will use automated systems to deny and ignore accommodations just like everyone else. Same automated and third party national security hole companies.

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @adamsmith.house.gov Yet another chance through the official channels. A weekly thing I might add. Redress my grievances.

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov @adamsmith.house.gov @safety.bsky.app @bsky.app I have reported these accounts as the bots they blatantly are. I demand proof of life. They hide behind barriers at work and use clearly automated systems here as well. Somebody do something.

@raskin.house.gov @adamsmith.house.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @adamsmith.house.gov Explain how these people have FCC email addresses but don't work for the FCC even though they claim to be FCC otherwise.

@adamsmith.house.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov I tried talking to you about barriers. But you hide behind the same barriers administered by third party companies which is so full of national security holes and threats. Yet you ignore barriers and don't respond here.

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @adamsmith.house.gov Use the platform to communicate both ways. Or should we switch to Signal to make it all official?

@adamsmith.house.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov You can use this voice to communicate, so use it. No more automated posts about yourself and your meetings with our bosses. Talk to us.

#actuallyautistic TFW you think you're out of coffee, but the mug isn't in the sink because it's in the microwave and still warm :) Ah, don't have to make another pot. Yet lol
