@bapsi like I've seen so many tips and tricks for getting this right, but there's still this frustrating path as a beginner to even working blind in a changing bag that I have to get through. I've read that this stuff alone puts people off developing the stuff themselves and I GET IT

Great garden news 🌱I now see another adult ladybug growing on the Hashimoto nasturtium, and about 5 nymphs walking around and eating the aphids. I think they were natural passengers from the nasturtium’s trip from the nursery to home. While topping off on my reservoir’s water, I also noticed what I now kno... bapsi.micro.blog

Kind reminder that you’re allowed to be really bad at plant care. It’s the only path (that I know of anyway) to getting good at it. 🌱

One thing that i find beautiful about ashtanga practice is its respect to the cycles of nature, especially lunar cycles.

Practitioners rest on the new and full moons, associating those phases and the moon’s pull on our watery little bodies with cycles of breath.

@hutaffe things are crazy and will continue to be, but any ground gained or defended from the insanity is more room to preserve and restore good. There’s hope which wanes, but as people of conscience, our duty to connect and build remains constant.

If you use your browser tabs as a read later list (read: like 40+ tabs open at once 👁 👁), might I suggestPocket, Instapaper, Readwise Reader, or depending on the browser, the in-browser read later list (the one for Safari’s pretty cool)

@meep I've never noticed these concepts in my experience with Duolingo, but you're totally right! Even if someone's doing the bare minimum, I like the idea that some value is still added in a 'boilerplate' way.

Glad you find it helpful. Which language are you practicing at the moment?

Ansel Adams' Notebook

I’m surfing Youtube for anything film related and came across this gem by ASA100. In this video he shares this gorgeous old binder full of notes and guides from a 1971 Ansel Adams workshop in Yosemite. As a notebook lover and film photography dilletante this is gold.
