I’m David. I live in Tacoma, Washington. I do square foot gardening, home automation with Home Assistant, and have too many cats.

You think you saw me behind some ferns? You just might have!

  • That’s a pretty good question. I 💯 agree that it can fall into authoritarian colonial bullshit, and in fact that’s probably what I was thinking of in terms of ‘defining’ vs ‘advancing’. I’ll invoke the case of the ‘Sad Puppies’, a bunch of lame ass white men who were super mad that the Hugos were overwhelmingly going to ‘not white men’ (read: interesting BIPOC voices everyone loves and gaspwomen?!).

    I would probably claim the Sad Puppies tried to define culture.

    The rest of the attendees advanced it by telling them to fuck right off.









  • Cold weather is on the horizon - I’m rapidly building an inside grow zone to move some plants inside as an experiment this year. I’m getting cold frames and what not set up for outside.

    Lots of things to chop down and replants, I’ll be trying a bunch of cool weather crops this fall since I built so many new garden beds!

    I’ll be harvesting everything that’s still out there. We had a last little burst of warm-ish weather, and the poblanos put on some size, excellent! My everbearing strawberry plants are still going insane though and producing tons of fruit!
