Transport activism at its best - Seattle people demonstrate that the No 8 bus, always blocked by car traffic, is so slow that they can beat it in a strolling race. Jugglers, people 'driving' child pedal cars, balancing cans on their heads, hopscotching and leapfrogging, and I particularly liked the morris dancers

@jwildeboer look real easy to tip over.
For safety of course, a unit could be put back into the car lanes by a single passing bike rider for temporary storage by tipping it right onto the adjacent car lane if found "disabled" in the bike lane. Pretty nice feature, smart! :B

How many #crows are actually here, with us now, in this #fediversified space?
Multiple choice, beacause each can have meaning for different contexts and playing. lol

You don't have to repress the must-obtain-shinies crow in you. We LIKE accumulating stuff, obtaining nice things, it's in our nature. But you can vary the crow's diet. A bulging sack of lovely pretty new books from the library, a boot full of castoffs from the flea market and a factory-shiny new hunk of tat off Amazon will all taste the same to the crow, but at different levels of harm to the wallet and world. It's okay to give the crow a little treat

Cascading Steel Sheets 😁

Well, there's a roof. Not very nice. But better than cancer plates. Might give it a pressure wash before and some paint after (with etch primer to stick, not like that green one there).

#Roof #DIY #Homestead #Metal #Scrap #Recycling #CSS

A bunch of used galvanized steel sheets laid out in the grass, forming a rectangle the exact size of a certain new firewood store. Some are dirty, several have folded over edges, one has peeling paint on it, all are a little bent.

@jwildeboer sounds like a great way to revive intentional and meaningful interactions.

The spiderweb is transforming more into a nest... a crows nest! Upcycled whatevers, shiny things. Hmm. A good day indeed.

A rope and slings tied to trees about 14 feet up, supporting various items at lower levels. a 20 foot section of metal pipe, a 10 foot strut peice, chains, pipe wrenches, a sail, a trampoline cover. there is more metal and wood on the ground for integrating into the mass. I am using best practices available to preserve the trees and not put too much metal in them, and keeping them not rigidly joined at any locatuon.

Moar #crowfind stuff!! #freebie pile raided again.

Anyone in #pnw area got a High Freq TIG welder that is just taking up space?
(Within 30 mi of Tacoma ish)
I'm targetting a 120/240 so I can have portability. Lincoln Square Wave is the one I really want, but right now I just need a cheap or free or upcycled one for sticking prototypes together.
I trade things too!!
