I've been considering doing a presentation to the education community I'm involved with.
It's all ideologically decentralized/agentic/democratic so I thought there might be some bite (I have a feeling the youth in Taiwan might like it). It would make for a good philosophical discussion anyway.
Can't think of a particular use case or specific problem that nostr would solve, but I'm sure I can think of something 🙂

I dont think they want to eat the tomatoes 😐 They just take them when they're green and then dump them pretty much undamaged in the middle of the lawn🤦
My guess is that they're just curious (🐦‍⬛ hm, peanut girl is absolutely obsessed with this corner of the property. Better check it out)
I'm hoping they grow out of it once they discover it's just veg🙄
Otherwise I might make a show of having a tantrum in front of the tomatoes🙂‍↔️

I might be getting some honeybees next spring, a coworker's husband approached me with the idea to beekeep together
🐝🐝🐝
He will provide the hives (∵ he is a carpenter), and I shall summon the bees (∵ I am a witch).
I've also found a dead butterfly in almost perfect condition, and scooped it up taken it home. I'm going to get a nice frame to pin it in 🦋
We've had a typhoon, an earthquake, another typhoon and another earthquake.
Great summer despite the elements, I got to see friends and make a lot of pizza.
Also, I've become an early to bed and early to rise type of person. I feel old.

If you give them energy dense food they can prioritize you!
City crows have a tight schedule. They know which shops put out trash at which time, they meet with other Crows to gossip etc
Consistency is key. They will want snacks at the same time reliably.
I don't have a set schedule, because my crows are county crows (and therefore bored) so they just know to hoppity hop on my studio roof to get my attention.
They they won't extort you because they are team players and you are friend. They might play a joke on you and laugh though!

In the beginning, my crows really hated being watched when they eat, but I just sat 20 feet away with my coffee and forced them to get used to me ☕

2026-07-22 00:53:11 CEST

- reply

I feed them dried cat/dog food pellets because I am a poor, but they like raw meat and peanuts in the shell (they like a challenge)
They like to dunk their food into water, and with the heat they would probably appreciate a drink. Crows keep their beaks open to stay cool so they look a bit stupid in the summer🐦‍⬛

2026-07-22 00:47:05 CEST

- reply

A fair bit in theory but not much in practice 👼
I've been hanging out with mine for about 6 months and they still won't eat from my hand 🤷‍♀️ They do chase away hawks and coo at me though.
I'm up in the mountains so the crows are extra suspicious of humans. It takes a long time and consistency to get them to trust you, but once they do the connection is deeper.
City crows are easier to befriend, but they have shit to do so they won't spend much time with you.

Overall a bad day, 2/10👎 👎
Today after work I swung by an antique store with a friendly owner. Had a good chat.
Overall a great day 10/10
I think short spurts of social activities after work might be better than full days off (which I often find unfulfilling). Hmm.
Got a present for a baby, saw a friend's sister got married.
Looked at @nprofile…c8rr mug sitting on the shelf waiting to get cooked.

I just had a stroke of genius. Go to a fish market (I know Toyosu lets us small people in) and go to one of the restaurants there. Freshness guaranteed.
Are you in Tokyo?

I would say it's harder to get bad sashimi, but then I'm in Hakata where the food is the best.
You want to find an Izakaya (a drinking restaurant /pub) that has lots of photos of fish in their Google reviews. Izakaya are usually fish focused or meat focused but rarely both (unless you're in Hakata, where you always serve sashimi or people will refuse to eat)
One of the first things on the menu will be 刺盛り (Sashi-Mori), an assortment of whatever was picked from the fish market that morning.
If you want to take sashimi home, you can get reliably good quality cuts in the underground of department stores, and you can actually find pretty good sashimi in the average supermarket. If it's sliced and sitting on a bed of shredded radish it's for raw consumption. If it's a block of fish, it will say 刺身 or さしみ (sashimi) on it.

I've gotten really into Game of Thrones lately, and I've been listening to the audio books non stop from when I wake up to when I go to sleep. Great fun, but I find myself going to bed well past midnight which is not good 😬
In other news, some horrible insect has cut down my tomato seedlings. It's probably a grub in the ground, I shall have to go digging for it. All my basil seedlings have also been eaten, and now I know why planting them directly into the garden does not work.
I should make a tiny greenhouse so that I can start my seedlings early next year.

Crow update!!
Roberto and Matilda (the crows) have been visiting with a third, slightly smaller (!) crow.
Assumed to be their child (probably a teenager, as baby crows don't leave the nest until grown), crow 3 is skittish, and I have been unable to get a picture of it. It's also very loud, and screams all the time, like a chick waiting to be fed. I have thus named it NOISY 🥳
