Schiedam

Photo of a Dutch canal. In the front is a very dilapidated motorboat moored to the quay. In the back in the distance across the water is a very tall Dutch windmill.
Schiedam is quite a pretty city in the Netherlands. What makes it nicer than many other Dutch cities is that is that it’s also occasionally slightly dilapidated. All the other places here have been turned into museums by now, and they’re gorgeous, but frankly quite boring.

I love city windmills. Created on a pedestal to rise above the surrounding buildings.
There's one in Utrecht as well

color photograph: fuzzy-haired mostly-caucasian manchild in a red flannel short taking a reflection selfie in a window looking out on a night cityscape
left my camera in my backpack so i took a selfie on the way out the door.
new position the last few months, and it is wearing me the fuck out. i’m not sure how long i’m gonna last dealing with a certain person’s tantrums on a regular basis.
maybe going on flickr later.

Hang in there- I took a high-paying job last year, supposedly to turn around a business, and no one will listen to a word I say. So, I’m fucking retiring. Enough of that noise I’m too old to fight that kind of battle anymore. I’ll be broke, but it has been a shit year. Not to make this all about me, but to say I can really relate.

Photo of a sculpture, placed outdoors in a grassy area. It's a concrete base with on top of that a sculpture of a slightly stylised and curvy black cat of more than 2 meters high. The cat has a cardboard box on its head, which is also black.
Stumbled across this piece of art in The Hague (Den Haag) this weekend. 'Internetkat' by Nick Ervinck.

black and white photo: a crop of reeds jut out from the bottom of the frame, silhouetted. behind them, the far shore of a pond and a grouping of trees can be seen, shrouded in dense fog.
the "first flickr photo" conversations a week or two ago reminded me that i'd been neglecting my pro account all year.
i have thousands of pics from the last few years, just sitting on my ipad and dropbox. i was in a groove getting photos up on a regular basis for a while but fell off the routine for who-knows-what-reason.
i've been trying to catch up with a photo or two up each day, just for posterity's sake. at least get a good chunk of the ones i'd marked "favorite" for some reason or another.
anyway, here's a random one from 2024.

Poltical cartoon that says: "Yous you give a child to make them think they're doing something", and then pictures of a toy phone, a toy steering wheel, a toy lawnmower and the FIFA peace prize.
In month 1 of Trump 1, I posted that it was like watching a toddler yank and fiddle with a crib-side busy box, only it was the levers of power, societal norms, and the social safety net.
I stand by this simile today.
I stand by this simile today.
@MackReed Definitely still holds up. My favorite newspaper in Norway recently conducted a full study of all of Trumps 217 (and counting) executive orders, plus memorandums, decrees, laws and proclamations, in order to find a method in it all. Their main find was that he often gives orders about things the president normally does not hold authority over, and simply expect them to be followed, beacuse often they are, and the orders that are fought in the justice system, often pass in the supreme court in the end.
The main threads they found in the chaos is:
1. Concentration of power with the president
2. Changing the legal system
3. Attacking the right to gathering and free speech
4. Undermining the election system
5. Attacking individual due process and rule of law
6. Laws on so called "public morals"
7. Attacks on academia

My husband had his 4th surgery of the year recently - he'll be fine - and will be "out" until March-ish. . . meaning I've had to do all of the outdoor chores myself, like getting ready for winter this fall (brag: my wood piles are works of art) and winter itself now, like splitting all the wood and alllll the snow clearing: shoveling around the house and blowing the snow on our mile long road/driveway, no small joke in the high Colorado mountains.
Our old snowblower attachment for our Toolcat is almost 20 years old and had a whole host of problems, including a hydraulic system that kept going kaput (see: https://mltshp.com/p/1Q1B3). Alas, we can't just haul it on a trailer to the mechanics so last year we had the Bobcat people here twice to fix problems we couldn't do ourselves, which was a thing considering the nearest Bobcat dealer is 3 hours away. . . a very expensive thing. Grrr!
SOooooo after realizing I was going to have to do all the snowblowing for the winter alone and, not wanting to spend hours in <0 degree temps swearing at whatever broke this time, hoping that a little grease gun action would fix it or desperately applying JB weld to holes and blah blah blah - doable when we were splitting the work but now has turned from "just irritating/part of life" to actually problematic - I asked for a new snowblower attachment for Xmas. Had to take a loan for it (thanks Trump tariffs! JFC!!) but now it's here! It's here!!!
It's A M A Z I N G. The skid-shoes haven't been re- welded on multiple times at multiple levels. There's no holes in the chute so it actually blows out at a distance instead of falling out. The auger doesn't freeze whenever you look at it wrong. The two stages actually work in parallel. The chute itself is on a sprocket wheel, not a chain, so you don't have to stop every 10 minutes and clear ice chunks out.
Our push/walk behind blower - a lovely Honda 2 stage, self-propelled blower with treads/track drive which throws snow 50 feet and starts when it's 20 below that I also love - is called Odin because it's so powerful and our troublesome old Toolcat blower was Loki. So obviously this new one is now Thor.
THOR!!! All praise THOR!! We received Thor in time for a snowstorm which dumped 4 feet of snow in 3 days and I already LOVE LOVE LOVE Thor. I never want to be without Thor again. You can have your awesome tech doodads and cooking geegaws and music fun widgets and things your kids made for you for Xmas: all I want is Thor. And I have him! I'm soooo lucky!!!
I'M SO HAPPY.
edit: the machine is not new, just the attachment!

Your winters are sooooo different to mine. In winter I just have to decide if I really can be bothered with an umbrella that day or not! 😊
Thor is very beastly, for me doing that would be so much fun, but I'm sure after a while it's just a chore

I need to see a photo of your wood pile.
As someone who has done a turn splitting and stacking firewood, I admire a well-stacked wood pile.

If you've never seen this, set aside an hour to watch it with really good sound on a big screen. It defies description and will blow your mind. I've been swimming through it on a second screen this morning, marveling at how cutting-edge and batshit-wild it still feels, 14 years later.

a container of homesolv dish soap which is normally clear but has congealed into a whitish goo which is what the other stuff did last year!
I decided to buy new dish soap because I am a woman with a job and my other stuff solidified. This stuff solidified too!
Surely the overlap between people who want a vaguely eco-friendly dish soap and the people whose kitchens are a little chilly in the coldest winter is more than... just me?

Dr. Bronners?
Dr B will do that too- it’s my camping soap because it’s so strong, but not so great in cold weather. What happens if you microwave it?
@devilsrancher If I even move it closer to the radiator, it's fine. That's just not where my sink is.
