hell yeah (started on the 13th of March)

Turns out one of the few places still shipping seeds is the hipster row 7 seeds so we’re gonna grow some habanada peppers (mild habaneros), tiny butternut squashes, and bitter cucumbers

This stuff

another quarantine time house upgrade: replacing the flimsy fluorescent tube shop lights (which didn't even work in cold weather!) in the garage with LEDs. Unfortunately, who knows when I'll be able to recycle the tube bulbs now; the bulb recycling office is closed til further notice.

I am at war. War with squirrels. The cooler is working, but who can say for how long it will hold.

I put together this chart to show how the addition of the Local-Only toggle on instances running #hometown or #glitchsoc affects post privacy. It's not the simplest thing in the world, but for small communities, I think local-only posting is indispensable.

dads.cool supports exclusive lists. If you set a list you’ve made to “exclusive,” posts from members of that list will appear only in that list’s timeline and not in your home feed.

This feature is great for following accounts that only post about one subject, for crossposting accounts, or for pixelfed feeds.

Use the web interface to set a list as Exclusive. You can only add accounts you follow to lists.

occasionally possible to find good stuff in the girls' section of carters that isn't MY DADDY SAYS I'M THE QUEEN OF PRINCESSES XOXOXO

This one has been a literal handful today

bringatrailer.com is a classic dad trap. Most dangerous website for dads. this 1987 Jeep Comanche with 129k miles on it and I just want to listen to Springsteen and load it with bags of gravel

I am sorry but this looks like straight garbage
