😂 no. Have you heard the good word about bitcoin?
Bookmarks are 10k sats each + shipping, so within the US that'd be about 27k sats. Glycerine tanning will take about 2 weeks, then a couple days to make the bookmarks. Do you want me to let you know when they're ready and we can work payment & addresses out then?

I am so impressed with this setup. This is the most symbiotic companion planting I have tried, and it's so nice that they're both perennial. I started edging my patch with sage and now I'm looking for recipes that incorporate all 3.

I spoke too soon on my lack of snakeskin. Archery season has started. I now have 2 more snakes, so my bracelets and googly eye bookmarks are back on the market (pending tanning time, of course)...

I'm being overrun with tomatoes this year. I don't know what to do with all of them. I only planted 2. 1 has been slow and the other is producing as much as 5 plants usually do.

It's fun to watch the little beavers swim around when I collect agates and jasper near their den. Sometimes they watch me, too.

1073 is a scrobble event. 31337 is an audio track. It's otherwise undefined, but I think stemstr used to create those. (I could be wrong, maybe it's a podcast or something.)

When I think "orbits", I clearly think of the gravitational connotation. Maybe there could be some way to link specialized relay display to the more commoditized or topic agnostic relays of the people who frequent the specialized ones? Something like: heres a feed full of live streams. Here also is a list of outbox relays with other types of content published by those streamers and their fellow relay dwellers.

As I was typing about jewery, it occurred to me that nobody has brought me any culled rattlesnakes this year. Last year, I was making a bracelet nearly every week, and a bunch of bookmarks at Christmas time. I have 2 skins left from that chaos. One on which the diamond pattern makes perfectly shaped hearts, and one long enough for a hatband... but my hatband inquirer disappeared before we could make that happen. Maybe I should just make it into more bracelets? I don't know.

I want to spend time over the winter to learn jewery making. I don't wear jewerly but it seems like a logical addition to my hypothetical online rock shop. I'm still unsure of a style. Wire wrapping is kind of gaudy to me, drawing attention away from the stones.
Round 2 in the tumbler has to wait a couple weeks. I need to order a motherboard battery for this cheap, old but basically unused laptop that I have, so that I can use it to try this livestream idea (livestream rock and roll? 😅). But I've been busy gardening, road tripping, camping, working, Nostr-ing, and catching wild animals. I'll be really happy to see snow this year.
