please note

if I ever have a single positive thing to say about ai, it is not actually me

I would only say such a thing if I was forced at gunpoint

I always find it concerning when I see people in shorts or skirts in fields of long grass here.

Ticks can carry horrible diseases and being so careless about them just to get a nice picture is extremely stupid.

Lyme disease can cause all sorts of nasty symptoms and some ticks can even cause you to become permanently allergic to mammal meat and dairy.

I was gifted some oil paint sticks recently and I think I like them. They're soft like oil pastels, but these actually dry.

It's probably a kind of odd combination of colors because of how they always mix into mud, but this is my favorite palette and it has been for years.

You ever think about how a random gunshot would be pretty much completely inconspicuous on July 4th in America?

People are so weird these days.

I spent two hours foraging cherries the other day and not a single one of the dozens of people who walked past me asked what I was gathering, or even acknowledged my presence.

It's bizarre how utterly terrified people are about talking to strangers now. And that's coming from someone with social anxiety.

I learned about a new to me forageable fruit recently.

These are wild black cherries (Prunus serotina) and they're super abundant right now.

To me, the raw flesh tastes like sweet but slightly bitter pomegranate with a cherry aftertaste. They're nice as is, but I'm going to make jelly out of them. Apparently they're also good dried.

The entire plant contains compounds which can be used by the plant to produce cyanide (like most prunus species, the seeds are especially toxic). The flesh of the ripe fruit is safe to eat though, as it is missing the enzyme which actually produces the cyanide.

These images don't really show how small the cherries actually are. They're tiny, only slightly larger than peas.

I got some blood on this last night

I've never seen blood dry with a crazed texture like this before

I've realized that I don't find any significance in the ceremonies people perform and take part in.

I was inducted into an honors thing at my college recently and I felt nothing. It felt like a waste of my time to sit there for an hour just to be handed a stupid piece of paper while having to put on a fake smile like it meant anything to me. I don't understand the need to constantly validate people for putting in the minimum amount of effort. I don't understand the need to constantly be validated.

I don't know, maybe it's just a me issue.
