Birdfeeding

Today is overcast, humid, and hot. I'm hearing thunder, so it's likely to rain soon.

I rushed through feeding the birds. I've seen several sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 7/26/25 -- It rained at least a little.

I refilled the thistle feeder. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches, plus a male cardinal.

EDIT 7/26/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

Green Building

Indigenous-designed mural doubles as a giant solar power generator, reducing 150 tons of CO2 emissions annually

What if public art could also power an entire residential building?

The SunRise Building, an apartment complex in Alberta, Canada, has answered that question — and is now the title holder of the Guinness World Record for the largest solar panel mural on Earth.
[---8<---]
On the northern wall of the building is the main mural, called “The Land We Share,” which stands 85 feet tall, by the Edmonton-based Indigenous artist Lance Cardinal. The photovoltaic panels are strategically placed to depict a tribute to the First Nations and Chinese cultures that are integral to the history of the area.

More of this would be good. People often resist green energy projects because so many of those are eyesores. Make them beautiful, and they will become more popular.

Birdfeeding

Today is partly sunny and sweltering.

I fed the birds. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches. Some of them are dustbathing in the burn barrel; they like the fresh ashes.

EDIT 7/25/25 -- I put out water for the birds.

EDIT 7/25/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 7/25/25 -- I did more work around the patio.

EDIT 7/25/25 -- I did more work around the patio.

I am done for the night.

Name: Amber

Age:

40's.

I mostly post about:

My Star Trek fanclubs and Ghostbusters fanclub, photos, paintings, drawings, fanfic, shows, binges, cosplay, real life, health issues, Fall, Halloween.

My hobbies are:

My Star Trek club, photography, drawing, painting rocks/hiding them, theme parks, cosplay, disneybounding, binging shows/movies.

My fandoms are:

Way to many to list but here goes: 9-1-1, 9-1-1 Lone Star, Star Trek, Star Wars, Shadowhunters, Supernatural (not much anymore), Harry Potter, The Lord of The Rings/The Hobbit, Jurassic Park/World (except new one), Psych, Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, Back to The Future, Scream, IT (old one), A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Horror, Disney, Marvel, PokemonGo (Is that considered fandom? lol).

I'm looking to meet people who:

Same interests as me.

My posting schedule tends to be: daily/weekly/monthly/sporadic/etc

Whenever I have something to post or say.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:

politics (especially if that's all you post about I will not comment on them), homophobes, transphobes, church/God haters, Trump supporters, inactive accounts, bigotry, racists.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a open heart patient with 8 surgeries and a pacemaker surgery to my name. So my posts are often about my health problems. I'm an introvert except around my club members and even then sometimes still. I'll delete if someone never comments on something or I don't feel we connected, nothing personal.

Activism

The future of antisemitism

We can't get confused about what constitutes anti-Jewish prejudice.
[---8<---]
That's why we have to face a painful paradox: when it comes to the continuing agony of Gaza, Israel's most fervent defenders are the ones muddying the water. They seek to define criticism of the actions of Israel as anti-Jewish prejudice.
