Fun mastodon thing -- there's a lot of GREAT artists on here, so a) you can enjoy people's art! and b) you can commission things! In the 5 years I've been on Mastodon, I've commissioned a patch, gotten digital art, all kinds of little things.

TIL a really cool, safe method for GROUNDHOG DETECTION! If you have a hole that you think a groundhog might be living in (and we have several at the new house), place a light object over it. Something that a groundhog could move and something you'll notice if it's been moved. We trimmings from a tree that was scraping the house. And now? WE WAIT.

Looking for YouTube channels reccs for a 75-ish old white dude with mild dementia who wants to be entertained by things like documentaries and how stuff works videos and is just generally a gentle and curious person who also takes EVERYTHING he hears at face value and thus is v much at risk to the YouTube algorithmβ albeit his wife is trying to stay on top of it but she still works and stuff.

@platypus very calming cooking, farming, and carpentry videos with high production values: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoC47do520os_4DBMEFGg4A |
In some ways, maybe it's fine, but also maybe it's not. However the broadsides and pamphlets metaphor is a good one (and one I'm pretty sure I've heard at least one archivist use before)
