#TEK

2025-06-09

The final #APCAW presentation is Thursday, July 12th. #Penobscot #basketmaker and founding director of the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance, #TheresaSecord will be the guest speaker.

APCAW was kind enough to provide me with a link to last week's video and a PDF guide from the conference. I will be looking through the guide and will post about some of the key points at a later date.

Even though the conference is free, pre-registration is required.

Some highlights from the #APCAW conference on #AshTrees and #EmeraldAshBorer

#JohnDaigle mentioned chemical treatment on selected trees combined with biological control releases. May not need to keep using chemical treatments if the bio-control takes hold.

EricTopper: "Pheromones could draw EAB away from places which would fall under the bio-control umbrella."
John replied that it has not been tested, as far as he knows.

John Daigle: "The goal ultimately is to co-exist. Get brown ash to evolve to be more resistant, possibly by cross-breeding with other ash trees. That is being done with Manchurian ash and is having success."

Ella MacDonald: "Brown ash used for Wabanaki basket making. Green ash not as suitable for basket making.
We might breed brown with green ash - green ash might be more resistant to EAB. Possibly white ash with brown? However, there us no federal store of black or brown ash seeds. Seed collecting of those two are important. Folks can collect it themselves, after positively identifying the species."

So, I attended a Zoom conference on saving #Maine's #AshTrees from the #EmeraldAshBorer. Unfortunately, I missed the presentation by #RichardSilliboy (who got knocked out of the meeting by a thunderstorm), but I did find this film with him in it!

They Carry Us With Them: Richard Silliboy

by Jeremy Seifert

"This film, part of our feature multimedia story 'They Carry Us With Them: The Great Tree Migration', profiles Richard Silliboy, a tribal elder and vice chief of the #AroostookBand of #Mikmaqs, and a #BlackAsh #basketmaker. As he weaves a potato basket at his home in Littleton, Maine, Richard contemplates the arrival of the emerald ash borer and the tenuous future of this ancient art."

So, I'll be continuing #SolarPunkSunday when I return from Beltaine at the Beach. I'll be posting (re-posting) articles about traditional building techniques that could help with #ClimateChange !

@unspeaker You are not alone :D Had the same with #equis this morning and honestly i really didn't need this kind of spam in my life. Feels quite weird getting this "personalized" spam that trains on my thoughts aka git log. It created this anticipation oh wow, someone actually tried using my shit to then relealize, naaah just some weird llm bot.

While I'm not using #tek, i fancy all the new screenshots you post, so silently following your progress (:

so i woke up and checked my email. (i don't do push notifications.)

there was no letter from any of the friends i'd exchanged email addresses with.

there was, however, a notification for an issue opened in .

yay, someone's trying to use my (woefully incomplete after nearly a year of prototyping) program.

or so i thought!

but nope, the issue was part of an -powered ddos attack against .

and it was constructed precisely-enough to make me doubt myself.

whoa.

fuck.

well if it ain't 0.2.1:

codeberg.org/unspeaker/tek/rel

this upgrades to 2024, and fixes a couple obvious bugs that have been annoying me for the longest time - the weird color bar you can see in the 0.2.0 screenshot upthread, and the incorrect note length grid in the sequencer.
