  • NAACP Black History event

    The event we volunteered at last weekend was amazing. Just amazing. I am not gonna lie, my favorite part of it was Krystle Lemonias artist site‘ slideshow on her work. Let’s get this out of the way: DIY, not d-i-e is a project to deal with real-world sustainability, through art (as CoffeeAndCreatures, and as a…

  • Gardening in the greenhouse

    We have a rather robust group of potatoes here – they kind of self-organized, coming from prior authorized plantings, from peelings in the compost, and who knows what else. I decided to see what would happen if I planted some in the greenhouse, in large planters. For much of January, nothing really happened. But in…

  • Free eggs – Bklyn – Astoria – Kensington(Philly) from FarmerJawn and friends

    Saw this on IG, but who knows – maybe this is helpful to someone. Mutual aid is what makes humans awesome. https://www.instagram.com/p/DGQefWKRpoI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link “Working people are the backbone of our communities, yet too often, relief isn’t made for us.

  • Over on Coffee and Creatures…

    …well, that is also me. I wish I was 2 people, so I could distribute all the tasks still needing to be done by 11am tomorrow for the Darkside Market at the Broken Goblet in Bensalem, PA.

  • Embracing Nerd-dom

    The best people I know are nerds. They’re folks like my friends in PA, like my friends nearby who have a CNC shop in their former bedroom, my friends in Somerville who have an armory in their shed & make actual armor, like my brother and my sister-in-law, like my friend Joe in Dallas, like…

  • Kickstarter for Pixelfed

    Pixelfed is the public’s alternative to Instagram, that doesn’t algorithmically shove stuff at you, and serve you more ads than content. They are going to be pursuing self-funding via Kickstarter. I will donate, and if you want to truly own our social networking in the future, we can all take a tiny stake in our…

  • Early 2025 work

    This week consists of painting, brainstorming with the Otter, gathering designs….and more painting. For Coffee and Creatures, the first oddities show is coming up, in mid-February. Other projects include a collaboration with an awesome TTRPG writer on a terrain/vehicle piece, a potential recycled flag design, learning a ton of CNC stuff, and building art robots.…
