That's better - I should have done this ages ago!

Technically this isn't an actual acorn; it's a eucalyptus seed pod, but it looks very similar in size and features.

Scenes from Oroville, CA
The indigenous California peoples harvested acorns and ground the meal on stone mortars using stone pestles. One of the saddest stories is Ishi, the the last known member of the Native American Yahi people. In 1911, aged 50, he emerged at a barn and corral, 2 mi from downtown Oroville. The rest of the Yahi were killed in the California genocide in the 19th century. #NativeAmerican #indigenouspeople #indigenous #Oroville #California #acorn #ButteCounty #history

Making some elderberry juice. I threw in some green apples that fell from the tree.
I got going in the outer reaches of the yard what I call assisted #foraging. I plant some native food plants, water them enough to get them going, and then let them be on their own to grow and reseed. The current list of native edible berries and nuts:

Huh, so since I've moved instance I guess I should do an introduction...

I'm a super left leaning, increasingly grumpy, queer Welsh/Sri-Lankan #trans woman (she/her) living in the PNW of the US (now there was an error...).

I'm an ex technical writer, ex sys-admin, ex-biochemist, now a #CleanTransportation #Journalist with @show, and an ER nurse in the (horrific, unconscionably cruel, immoral, unethical & collapsing) US #healthcare 'system'.

I also write under the name Anesha Griffiths. Well, I've written a book (and am part way through another).

My toots encompass mainly incessant rambling about household #DIY (and my wife and I's endless renovation project - just feel sad you can't go back and relive the excitement of the tiling master thread). Also #gardening #cooking #chickens #making #retrocomputing and #repair. Particularly with #Acorn computers - my first love.

Also...I'm very slowly converting my 1969 #Morris1000 to electric, so expect wittering about that...and of course expect ranting about the genocide being enacted on trans folks right now.

I try not to boost posts without alt-tagging, and I try to be good about tagging images (but I do fuck up sometimes).

Nazis and TERFs can fuck right off.

This ain't my work account. So Musk can fuck off too - although he's really covered under the previous admonishment.

Expect nothing and I'll probably manage to deliver. But no promises.
