Just had to remind myself (if somewhat after the fact), that even if the quote sounds good, if you don't know the author or the context, best not boost.
I think I should write my self a boost plugin, that throws a checklist:

1. Do you know the tooter
2. do you know the context of the content
3. do you know the people/things mentioned
4. are you sure you get this

I love the name of these weird black fungi that I see growing on oak trees in northern California: cramp balls (Annulohypoxylon thouarsianum). They're maybe 8cm or so in diameter.

As if it wasn’t hard enough to find a good general contractor, now it seems they all have a side hustle.

Spotted this rather wonderful insect-egg slime mould in a very wet Baltimore canyon, Marin

RiP Phil Baines
A fabulous designer. Way back in the 90s he lectured at my college and many things from that lecture have stuck with me - still fascinated by his ideas of exploiting rivers in text. A few years back I came across these pieces from that period whilst at @letterformarchive

the black and white text was (I believe) part of his MA work, the red, based on church candle sleeves

I feel like this should be plastered across every laptop and computer. Maybe in the form of a void if removed label.

Words on signs and displays are dangerous. The wrong kerning, bad spacing or odd sizing can cause all kinds of horrors. And certain words like 'exchange' can be tricky when paired with others, but without a doubt the most dangerous is 'analytics' or 'analysis'. Especially when used by the unaware on makeshift displays.
Never ever ever use folding displays, like this.

came across this vision of the future by Dwiggins: The Five Hundred Years: A Time Problem (1941)

looking forward to a "century of awakening", but hope the "machine horde" doesn't get us first.

After a thorough inside and outside audit with my thermal camera (FLIR), things look pretty good for my thermal envelope. (did not check the attic, however). Interestingly enough, the most obvious heat loss (aside from a wall panel and roof area missing insulation) is along the bottom of the building slab. #insulation #energyefficiency #housing

And finally, anyone know what this is? At first I thought fungi or lichen but now thinking maybe scat or secretion , but very small 1or 2 mill each bit.

Dwell magazine's Alana Hope Levinson has written a thoughtful feature on the joy of "puttering" — relaxing by carrying out low-stakes household chores — and you can read it here. But we got distracted by the language used in the article, since, she claims, "puttering" can also be referred to as "piddling," and where we come from, you certainly don't go piddling around the house. What word do you use for the pastime of puttering?
