okay now that i'm more certain the Unidentified plant in my neighborhood is Queen Anne's Lace i should pluck a specimen for my book

I think i've got Yarrow down pat, it's really QAL vs Poison Hemlock that i struggle with, and that struggle is a lot more serious, poison hemlock can mess with your head just from touch, let alone eating any on the mistaken thought that it's wild carrot.

in order: Yarrow, Queen Anne's Lace, and Poison Hemlock

the most notable part of the yarrow, in contradistinction is the fern like leaf patterns.

the difference between Queen Anne's Lace vs Poison Hemlock, as i've heard it, is that The Queen has hairy legs - the stem has lots of little hairs on it. And that the Hemlock has purple splotches on the stems.

but what i see in my neighborhood seems not to have either hairs *or* purple splotches. so i'm at a loss.

anarchist graffiti, in *my* geoguessr location? its more likely than you think

so, via their latest staff update, cohost is shutting down. no celebrations here. cohost was doing a lot of interesting stuff. but, the reason the fediverse is decentralized is because no one can carry the weight of "everyone in one place" without doing the evil we all (including cohost devs) decry - "selling my data", "ads", "algorithmic timelines", "selling our company to musk when it stops being profitable"

this should be a small lesson in what's necessary in the foundations of our collective projects

just found out that in the comics slade (deathstroke) was in a sexual relationship with terra — and the way fans talk about it is insane
