@green Thanks! ^..^

@green I bought this one inexpensively off of Amazon. It holds about 4 cups of liquid.

We’ve also had to refill it twice in the past two weeks due to demand. (We border a ~4 acre forest, so the bird population here is fairly dense.)

Camera was taped to a pole, as recommended by someone over on Twitter.

Not sure how video works on Awoo, so testing this unlisted.

I wish I could get closer photos and video when hummingbirds are at our feeder. Definitely the best part of mornings.

Food porn, non-vegan 

Tonight’s dinner, prep and serving.

We allow the sin of Blue Apron in our house. I’ve been slowly learning how they build complex flavors with a small pool of easily-kept ingredients (garlic, scallions, shallots, and citruses featuring prominently).

Though this is one of their recipes, I’ve managed to replicate their approach on more than one occasion. I’m not sure that makes me a better cook, but the results sure are tasty.

Migration from Twitter, long thoughts about policy 

Crosspost: twitter.com/goldkin/status/912

While I’d been considering migrating to Awoo for some time, my reason for doing so now is Twitter has decided to codify some of the conditions that moderation is not in their financial interests as a company.

I have a limited amount of empathy for their position (I do not envy them), but explicitly prioritizing clicks over moderation is where I get off this train.

Hello Awoo! I promised I’d use this thing more, so here I am.

Whoami: I’m an agender, otherkin dragon in tech that wishes they could spend every day making art. I make Copic and 3D art, mostly of scaled things. I’m also a refugee from Second Life and Twitter, and yes, I am the same Goldkin from the AWSW visual novel and community. Any pronouns are fine, with singular they/them preferred.
