I got an email advertising a book fair and I got all excited until I remembered people won’t be wearing masks there. Womp womp. I miss going to events in meatspace. I’m glad there are still online ones, though these seem to be decreasing in number. Please don’t exclude people with disabilities. #MaskUp #ChronicIllness #WritingCommunity #accessibility #BookFair
Love is hunting gophers together.
Happy Valentines Day!

Na spotkaniu Rolnictwa Wspieranego przez Społeczność była też Marta z osady o nazwie Osadzenie - eko WIeska. 🌻 🌷 🌼 Jej mieszkańcy opuścili miasto i osiedlili się w małej wsi na Podlasiu. Teraz zajmują się permakulturą, chowają kury, budują osadę i dążą do samowystarczalności. WIęcej: https://osadzenie.pl

For the last few years we've had solitary bumblebees that nest in an overflow pipe.
I think this absolute unit of a bee is this year's resident, as it was resting on this stone within 2m (6 feet) of that pipe.

There is big conservation news coming out of Scotland today.
The government has adopted new planning rules, known as National Planning Framework 4, which will ensure that *NO* development will be supported if it impacts ancient woodland & ancient & veteran trees across the country.
The new rules have come into force with immediate effect.
These habitats are irreplaceable, so it's a landmark step in the fight against climate & nature emergencies.
Regular reminder: "bioplastics" are NOT better for the environment, and "biodegradable" plastics don't biodegrade unless they're in an industrial composter. The focus needs to be on reducing unnecessary plastic use, and closing the loop on everything else. Making plastic out of corn/bamboo instead really doesn't help. #Ocean #Pollution #Bioplastics See here for more:

Bruno, senior of #IdąPsięta, admiring the Triumphal Arch of #Moss.
The velociraptors of #Polesia – not so fast, not so vicious, but very cute.
Cleaned out a file cabinet. Got rid of giant piles of paper from when we were desperately trying to qualify for state and federal assistance. Entire reams of documentation, representing countless hours of determination, stress, humiliation, worry.
People who think #covid is no big deal, that if they do become #disabled there will be systems to support them, that their needs will be met...
You have no fucking idea what you're in for.
I hope you don't find out. But you probably will.
J'y suis, j'y reste!
Yes, the #wetlands are a bit sloped, but water won't flow out of the picture because it is still frozen.
Living in the #wetlands of #Polesia (also spelled #Polesie) in #EasternPoland. Surrounded by #bogs and #forests, trying not to fuck up surrounding nature too much.
Taking care of a small pack of #dogs – #IdąPsięta.
Luddite working with hi-tech.
#RuralBroadband provider by accident. Starting a small LoRaWAN project to monitor our wetlands. Coding in #Python. Dealing with dirty data, cleaning them when time allows.
#Atheist. I don't *believe* in #science – science is the *only* thing that protects us from belief.
Fuck nazis.
My account on Twitter is still up, for good reasons. https://twitter.com/szescstopni
I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
Zdolny, ale leniwy.
