#in the neighborhood

[carpentrix]

Posters for lost cats appear in the neighborhood, now and then stapled to the telephone polls. Oreo. Sparkles. Bongo. A cat slips off, joins up with the raccoons and coyotes, makes a wild way of things. It happens. Then yesterday, in front of a grand brick apartment building across from the river on Memorial Drive, a little laminated sign hung from a low bush. "LOST: Have you seen me?" read the sign with a photograph below of a bonsai tree, delicate and elegant, gnarling out of a grey ceramic pot with what looked like tiny bay leaves spiking from the branches. Below the photo, an explanation: On December 27th, someone walked off with two small bonsai trees that had been left briefly on the sidewalk. "Those trees were not free," the poster reads. "I think it was a big misunderstanding," with a smiley face emoji. They're a fragile species, wrote the owner, he wants them back, and leaves his cell and email. "No questions asked, no worries!" The first floor bay window on the corner is a forest of bonsai trees. I see the tiny trees on night walks when the window glows. Maybe these two slipped off to join the mighty sycamores that they've seen from their perch in the window. Maybe they fled further, running on their roots, to grow in a deeper set of woods, with the raccoons and the coyotes and all the missing cats.

Uraraha-san, have there been any misuse of specialty soul products with in Uraraha Shouten distribution?

I've been hearing stories on the news and from colleges a out strange happenings amongst Karakura Town. Even Urban explorers have been posting accounts that left them frightened.

"You're... not from the city inspector's office, are you?"

"I thought we had an understanding—" Slowly, he gestures to a sign tacked to the wall near his head, bold letters spelling out:

Urahara Shōten Will Not Assume Responsibility For Inappropriate Application of Products Purchased Here

"Sooooo— if that's the case, I'm afraid we can't be held legally liable." A sympathetic smile accompanies these words. "We can, however, be contracted to deal with unusual and troublesome happenings!" Another gesture, this time to a second sign, opposite the first:

Got Unusual Problems? We've Got Unusual Solutions! We're Soooo Here to Help You— Ask About Our Special Rates!

I will not dox my neighbour and post pictures of his house because I am not an asshole, but he just put an addition on his already batshit insane house and I am dying to share.

He lives in a 1950 PanAm passenger plane. I have no fucking clue how he got it here, because we're nowhere near a runway and it still has its wings and its landing gear. The living space is a solid 15 feet off the ground and he has one of those old school staircase vans as his front step. I would assume its not terribly different from living in a trailer or other mobile home, but its way better insulated because its a plane.

Anyway, he just finished a glassed in porch that comes out of the pilots side of the cockpit and its so cool. This isn't some gimmicky airbnb, this is his house and the commitment to the bit is legendary.

His greenhouse is a fire engine.

"I know there's a copsucker around here somewhere."

The boys were in the neighborhood and in need of some emergency service.

NaPoWriMo 2024 day 22

As I went to fill a bird feeder today, the cardinals really giving me the what-for, I wondered how much propane I had left. There I found a surprise and gauges that said about 35 whatever, so plenty to get … Continue reading → Continue reading →

"I want," the man said to the art robot, and then described an image in some detail. "Certainly," said the art robot. A printout came out of its chest. "Thank y- Hey! What's this?" "A list of artists who make images of the kind you describe, and who are accepting commissions."

calling my lover "mine" but not in the way that my toothbrush or notebook are mine, mine in the way my neighborhood is mine, and also everybody else's, "mine" like mine to tend to, mine to care for, mine to love. "mine" not like possession but devotion.

#nonbinary love #nblnb yearning #nb4nb #nblnb #wholesomeposting #yearning hours #ive been thinking about how some languages dont have a possessive tense #so you dont say “i have a thing” but rather “a thing is by me” #and like im not usually one for psycho linguistics and like critical thoughts etc etc etc #but i really like the framework of responsibility/commitment rather than ownership #i think about this mostly in terms of ecology #and relation to land #but i also love it as it applies to language shared between lovers #like i LOVE calling them mine or for them to call me theirs #but i'm also nonmonog and that was kinda weird to square for a while #and it clicked one time when i was talking about my neighborhood and i was like well #when i say my neighborhood or my city it's understood i'm not taking it away from anybody else #its understood i just mean the city where i live #so why cant we apply the same to lovers? #mine in the way i want to show up for you again and again #ok #done now

listen. listen to me so carefully right now. (if you're in the eclipse path/planning on viewing). please don't stare directly at the sun tomorrow. i am begging you - do not stare at it. if you got eclipse glasses off of amazon/other, please put them on in your house and make sure you can't see anything; if you can still see like regular sun glasses, they are not safe for eclipse viewing, you will burn your retinas, and we cannot fix that. eclipse glasses should be iso/ce certified, and aas (american astronomical society) approved. please make smart choices and protect your eyes. please.

#psa from your friendly neighborhood eye care provider #the office is already fielding so many calls about this make good life choices #very important #eclipse #solar eclipse #eye health #not medical advice #just me screaming to please protect your eyes #ive seen exactly one case of solar retinopathy in my career so far please don't give me another one

so right now a whole ass chunk of chile is burning down and it is really Fucking Bad. it hit and spreaded so fast im like. 90%!!!!! of the jardín botánico de viña del mar burned down in one night. four in ground workers died. i am absolutely heartbroken for them and the treasure in biodiversity gone. and thats just 4 out of +100? lives lost in this chaos, that is still ongoing.

because of this, i will be splitting my patreon income evenly between care for gaza and techo chile, for the foreseable future. donate if can you can! it would really make a difference

#i have lots of family members that live there but they are mostly ok thank god #but make no mistake. entire neighborhoods burned down #la quinta región looks like it was bombed. comparisons to 27f are being made #anyway!! i am about to withdrawn the monis i am a ball of anxiety etc

I can totally hear this cat tuning the guitar while the children find a good place to sit.
