  I hear bamboo is a good choice for when you want things to spread effectively. In this case, various experiments with bamboo are underway to calculate various related coefficients, etc. #KatPics #Bamboo #Rope #Spreading

  I've not been the best about posting this year. But something that has been doing great is the coloring process for my sleeve! The last coloring session we did the reds, oranges and blue+very subtle seafoam green. The different greens on the leaves of different parts of my arm were done a while ago. Fun fact: The Amanita Muscaria is a sort of "forbidden fruit" due to it being both poisonous and psychoactive (in more of a deleriant way, not necessarily a psychedelic way). Instead...

  It's a full moon today! What sort of wilderness do you unleash? I was once told I'm like a moonflower because I bloom on full moons, and my nectar is a spiritual experience that will put you to sleep. I think I blushed hard enough to vaporise. Anyway, here's me bound in a spiral futomomo for todays full moon. I also have my ankles bound by a couple of bowlines to constrain my squirminess a little #AccessibilityIsHotAF #AltAfterDark #KatPics #NomBinary #Shibari #NonBin...

  Continued from [Part 1](https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/116666480273585184) Sometimes when you have the right consistency and wetness with clay, you can smack it to draw the moisture up closer to the surface. You need to use the correct rhythm though, which can be tricky to figure out. As a bonus, it may also warm up the clay and accelerate the process. When successful, it will allow the moisture to escape (via evaporation) and the clay will crumble more easily. In this example, the redness is...

  To celebrate my instance limits going back to normal, I have a poll for y'all. This is going to be about #biting in the context of play. Select statements that hold true for you. If you would like to expand on your answers, or add your perspectives and experiences to my dataset, please add a response. If you want it to remain private you may make it a "mentioned-only" response. #AskFedi #Poll #KatQs #PollsOfAKat

  From #AngelsBeforeMan by #RafaelNicolas > “I feel drunk,” murmured against him, then shuddered. “Your mouth— When you were created, your lips must have been laced with liquor.” Now I'm not an expert or anything, but if someone said that to me, I might begin to suspect they're flirting with me... :neofox_thinking: #MusingsOfAKat #KatReads #BookQuotes #Bookstodon #AngelsTrilogy

  Did something weird happen for lgbtqia.space settings? I am seeing a 500 char char limit instead of the extra long one I've been spoiled with this whole time.

  The moon is full. It's a special time, ripe with magic. Use it wisely. The next #NewMoon will co-incide with the peak of the 2026 meteor shower. Weather permitting, this will make for excellent conditions to watch the night sky. And also to harness the increased magic density in the soil in between realms if you are so inclined. #FullMoon #Moon #Perseids #Perseids2026 #ScribblesOfAKat

  Alright y'all. I appreciate you being cool about me taking weird sized breaks from posting. Here's a recipe I made yesterday and basically devoured because it was so good. #CW for pics of #Food # Butter Rice Cakes Makes 12 using a standard muffin tray ## Ingredients - 10 tablespoons unsalted butter (140g) - ½ cup granulated sugar (105g). I personally prefer closer to ⅓ cup (~65-70g) - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon honey - ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt - 1 large egg (preferabl...

  One fun recurring thing at #Blissfest is the "Mug Library." These folks are not officially affiliated with the festival or anything. They setup a wall of mugs hanging from nets. You can grab one, fill up with free coffee that runs on donations, and simply return the mug (into a tote, not the net) when you're done. At night time, the netting gets lit up all pretty, and you know what happens then. That's right, lights in the woods at night attract moths! Here's a picture of...

  While I definitely used different ties for load bearing wraps, I did sprinkle various decorative knots around camp. Especially with glow-in-the-dark paracord, as this has been pretty good at helping folks avoid running face first into trees when it's dark. Definitely not my tidiest work, but for a hasty one I think it was acceptable. I did do a properly tidy hashira anchor at some point but I think I forgot to actually take a picture of it :neofox_facepalm: And my various ties around ca...

  Pretty close to the "entrance" to our camp at #Blissfest2026, there was a tree stump that we decorated as a temporary surface. And took care to protect the moss from stray footsteps. The moss was not alone though. This fungus is colloquially known as "Dead Man's Fingers" and the scientific name is _Xylaria polymorpha_. It's a saprotrophic fungus that often grows on dead or dying wood. They are not edible, so I recommend you do _not_ put these digits in your mouth if...

  Another small anecdote from #Blissfest2026 and volunteering with kiddos. One of the popular crafting activities was "flower crowns." I believe there was a workshop earlier on day 1 with the older kids, so it was a theme. During Day 2, we narrowly avoided the pipe-cleaner-apocalypse. This is where we would be running out of pipe cleaners because they were being used by kids to make the base of the crown. I had managed to find some crafting wire that was an adequate substitute. Both thi...

  There are always so many beautiful elements of nature one gets to experience when camping in northern Michigan. Here is a Small-Eyed Sphinx chilling out at #Blissfest2026 It was pretty warm and humid, so this one got the perfect opportunity to cool off with @AstralFox@lgbtqia.space #KatPics #Blissfest #Moth #Michigan

  At #Blissfest this year, both my volunteer shifts went to the Kids area. We set up various arts and crafts for them to do. It lets them exercise some creativity, and sometimes we can sneak in useful skill learning. It's very freeform though. One of the activities ended up being a variant of "worry dolls" (Muñecas quitapenas). This is a doll that one can whisper their worries to and the doll will let them be free of the worries overnight. Practically, it is basically a confidant...

  Apparently, I never shared this picture, only teased it. How rude of me. :neofox_box: This is a classic and manually cropped. I didn't get exposed to the DARE program as a child but was certainly brought up to speed eventually. I don't know if people ever wore these unironically, but just the thought feels weird to me. Since this crop isn't snug, it is prone to nip slips. Less so after a couple of minor alterations, but it has as much success with breast support as the DARE progra...

  After getting home from #Blissfest this year, my hair was ridiculous. Here's the full #FitCheck for the "teardown camp and haul things back home" day. It involves extra manual labor in the sweltering humid heat and also wading through grass sometimes (yes, I tuck my pants into my socks for that). I wore something similar on the "loading into camp" day, and while I was there, I only wore pants twice. It was when volunteering to do arts and crafts in the kids area. There...

  #Blissfest was a fun experience this weekend. I still have pics I haven't posted from #Blissfest2025 but I'm going to try and at least get some posted soon for #Blissfest2026 It was humid as heck. And it was quite warm; both in terms of how welcoming and accepting the people are, and also the air temperature. There were multiple times where I was just glistening with sweat and doing something with ropecord, trees, or dancing. I'll spare you any pictures of that state, and instead of...

  The moon is just so... resplendent; The divinity re-packed so densely, giving her that signature effulgence. The lambent magic shall not be restrained. Ishtar, Artemis, Selene, Luna, Hecate, All had the opportunity to stop it. The moon is full! #FullMoon

  I don't have as many fun plants around as some of y'all do, but I still am easily smitten by simple things. For example, there are plenty of wild alliums around, and I quite enjoy seeing the silver lil bubbles they form, and appreciate how they look so alien and metallic. Then when they finally burst, it's like there was this tiny cute eldritch deity just waiting to hatch. 🥹 #KatPics #BloomScrolling #Plants #Nature

  When you are having one of those days, and are still blissfully unaware that you forgot to take your meds, and it's past time for tea... 1. Water in the kettle is ready. Yes, you had to actually turn the thing on for it to heat up. 2. Put mesh steeper/strainer in teapot, after finding where you left it since the last time it was cleaned out (1-2h ago) 3. Add dry tea leaves to mug. 4. Add water to teapot. 5. Retreat back to workstation with tea mug. 6. Wait a tick... *loading icon* 7. Evalua...

  The Moon might be waning, but #Pride is waxing. Unlike the moon, I don't believe there is a "pride peak" so to speak. So we are probably in a state of unbounded #WaxingPride This is good because there's no way I'm getting through all the pride flags in one month! :neofox_laugh_sweat: I will try to juxtapose some meaning on the backs of those supporting the rainbow, and would love to hear your thoughts in the comments :blobcatflower: #KatPics #WaxArt #NonBinary #LGBTQ...

  A sweet grassy scent dances delicately along the air. It's a nice muted smell of hemp. You inhale deeply to savor the taste, and release it with a long slow breath. You open your eyes to find yourself still in your enclosure. You don't often get the smells from your little tours, so it's definitely a notable experience already. You're being asked... something, but it's difficult to parse the voice in your thoughts. Maybe you need to figure out the questio...

  Springtime in May means a lot of things are in bloom. This also holds true for toebeans of various kinds. Some of the eager ones can be harvested for a first flush.
