one of the subtle indicators of the douchebaggery that has infiltrated American culture can be seen simply buying screws. So many woodscrews come with their own “special” bit, rather than using the widely standardized system that makes lots of different tools work together. and its done thinking they might manipulate you into just buying more of their screws. so quality is replaced with manipulation. Some call this “good business” or “smart”. And those people are the douchebags we are referring to.

its dawning on me that the rapid roll out of totalitarian state surveillance occurring all across the U.S. right now, is an attempt to get Gaza level surveillance in place before the armed populist uprising that they are CERTAIN is coming, happens.

there used to be a drive thru stand in Seattle under the i-90 freeway owned by an Ethiopian family that sold Ethiopian coffee and these little spicy lentil pastries called Sambusa. i cant stop thinking about those pastries this morning. i may have to figure out how to make them.

because most of the paths around here were cut through blackberry growth, in August, our paths are lined with sweet berries. it feels pretty special

sewing off solar power next to a fire is pretty rad.
