#clutter — Public Fediverse posts

Sigh. Not enough places to have on display and readily accessible books, rocks, and knickknacks. Abraham Lincoln and the cat are not impressed. The snakes are openly laughing. This is the problem downsizing over the years.

I have divested 3 glass display cabinets so my extensive rocks/minerals/fossils and crystals collection is still in disarray and partly still boxed up. I’m down to 2 tall bookcases so I’ve only got my favorite books out, favorite history books, favorite rocks and geology books and my favorite cookbooks out but there are still 6 boxes of books I just can’t give up but…they are in the garage.

Woe is me. Sniff. Got to snug up my britches, drink some more liquid Resolve and Fortitude and start divesting again. “With a knick-knack paddywhack” even. #Books #Clutter #Bookcase #Cookbooks #KnickKnack

Clutter

Gardener, gloves off, with his callouses laid bare.
A shed with old tools and a ladder up to nowhere.

Dusted off the home office shredder, and started in on old boxes of bills, credit card statements, and the assorted paper detritus us #genX folks religiously saved and filled.

Dude, I'm literally finding two decade old paperwork.

Nobody needs to save and curate this stuff.

#SilentSunday

I finally was able to dig out my garage to have enough space for some woodworking, it was a lot of cleaning and planning not cutting, hence a rather a silent Sunday. There's a long way to go, but horizontal surfaces and the floor can be seen now and that's an embarrassing and exciting milestone. Feels good to be back in the "shop"!

Ah, yes, "Ninja"—because what every #developer needs is yet another "small #build system" claiming to be the Usain Bolt of compiling. 🏃‍♂️💨 Why innovate when you can just slap "speed" in the description and hope no one notices it's just another #GitHub repo cluttering your workflow? 🙄🔧

I’m one of those who fights battles with #clutter and #piles at home. No, it’s not #hoarding. It’s more about the #mental hills we climb to establish and maintain #momentum on a task. I reach a point of #overload and then I #shutdown. In some ways, if I could stop myself hitting mental #barriers then the take themselves are easy. Then #shame can build, and there’s my natural #aversion of people. Maybe I just need to hire a #housekeeper. #actuallyautistic @actuallyautistic

Yeah, so there's no good angle for this arrangement, our house is cluttered!

The dehydrator and bags of gluten free flour are part of us making dog treats to benefit our Hands Helping Paws Project.

Dear Friends,
Another #LongIsland #Xmas house decoration that leans towards the off-beat.
Frankly, surprised how similar they tend to be. The #BigBox-ification of Christmas?
It's a yard with every indication of being used and enjoyed, as indicated by the trampled texture of the snow and toys left outside, and qualifies for inclusion because of its overall cluttered look with all the non-Christmas stuff.

Good afternoon. 🌴🌴🌴

9 December 2025

If I toss my old Visual C++ book, I could free up space for two or three more novels in the bookcase. After all, it’s not like I plan to do any more programming. That chapter has closed. It’s time to let those things go—completely.

I know the impulse to hang on “just in case.” But when we don’t release the unused, it accumulates. Slowly, quietly, until we’re buried in stuff. And then we become… hoarders.

That’s where I am now—or at least, that’s how it feels. We have a lot of things. Over the years, I built storage into our life to bring order to the chaos. But storage is a trickster: if you build it, you fill it. I told my wife I wanted to rent a dumpster and just start tossing things in. I didn’t get a concurrence.

There are boxes we never unpacked after moving here—over twenty years ago. They sit like sealed time capsules in the back of my little work garage. Once, I resolved to do something about it. I grabbed a box, determined to haul it off to Goodwill. But when I opened it, I found my Calvin and Hobbes collection—and just like that, the wind left my sails.

Tossing technical manuals is one thing. But Calvin and Hobbes? That’s sacred. Honestly, those books should be classified as academic texts—philosophy in comic form.

And even now, as I type this meditation on letting go, I glance toward Ben’s bed, still sitting where it has for over sixteen years. Those who follow my blog know what that means.

Prescribed burn in the the Valley of the Giants gone wrong
Save the tourist infrastructure not the national park?

"A plan to protect tourist infrastructure has resulted in an estimated 180 large trees falling over. Western Australian authorities say the planned burn was carried out east of the Valley of the Giants precinct to protect visitor infrastructure. While the tourist hub was untouched, conservationists say the fire has been "catastrophic" for a nearby section of bushland, and the outcome should have been predicted."

Blogkino: In Cold Blood (1967)

Zur Handlung: "Kansas im November 1959: Der wegen Totschlags vorbestrafte Perry Smith und Dick Hickock planen, das Haus der Familie Clutter zu überfallen. Sie glauben, dass Mr. Clutter eine große Menge Bargeld in einem Tresor hat. Nachdem sie allmählich erkannt haben, dass es in dem Haus weder einen Tresor noch größere Mengen Bargeld gibt, tötet Smith das Ehepaar und zwei ihrer Kinder im Teenageralter. Die Leichen der Opfer werden am nächsten Tag entdeckt. Sofort beginnen die polizeilichen Ermittlungen. Der hinzugezogene Psychologe glaubt nicht an einen Raubmord – es fehlen nur ein paar Schecks, ein Radio und 43 Dollar. Die beiden Gesuchten versuchen, sich der Fahndung zu entziehen, doch als sie mit den gestohlenen Schecks bezahlen, werden sie verhaftet.

Die Polizei verhört die beiden und konfrontiert sie mit belastenden Indizien, so zum Beispiel mit einem blutigen Stiefelabdruck, der genau in das Profil der Stiefel von einem der beiden passt. Durch Verweigerung von Antworten verzögert sich das Verhör. Man behauptet, sie hätten einen Fehler gemacht und einen Zeugen hinterlassen. Zum Schluss gesteht Hickock, um einer Verurteilung zum Tode zu entgehen. Eine Gerichtsjury befindet Smith und Hickock für schuldig und verurteilt sie zum Tode durch den Strang. 1965 werden sie in #Lansing hingerichtet." #Thriller #FilmNoir In Cold Blood

Lately I've been working on organizing some things, and setting up systems is always key. Even for digital stuff. Maybe ESPECIALLY digital stuff. Just like cleaning your physical house and trying to rid it of clutter (did a lot of that recently, as we always do, sometimes to little avail 🤣), digital clutter is real. Going through my YouTube 'Watch Later' playlist and it's down to 106 things. That feels like a miracle- it was over 200 videos (almost 300) the other day, and just by watching a few seconds of one or two, many just needed filing to another playlist - especially ones I'd already seen and just want to save. And, of course, same as phone screenshots, some things you just have NO idea why you saved it. So you delete those. And wow. 106. Amazing. Maybe I can knock out more next week. Plus, I'm learning some things. They're some really boss videos. If I find some *really* cool ones, I'll post em here, of course.
