#haiku #SpringChicken #ItAintSpring

Yesterday, I got on all fours to patch some holes that I think were a highway for bugs.

Today, my hip is reminding me that I'm no longer a spring chicken.

"Why did you not call maintenance?"

I've owned two houses. I knew exactly what to do. Besides, I don't like having strangers in my apartment (maybe because I'm #ActuallyAutistic), and they tend to be incompetent too.

"Incompetent?"

Yes. Like doing stuff against code.

"You know the building code?"

I don't have encyclopedic knowledge of the code, but I do know some things. I'll remind you that I was a homeowner and did remodel.

"Did you find things against code in your houses too?"

Yes, I did, like electrical circuits not properly wired.  I fixed some of it, and had an electrician fix the rest.

"And you have all the tools you need?"

Yes. Some of my tools came with me in the divorce. Not all of them. I've lost most of my car tools, because there's no garage here.

"Anything else?"

I like to use this knowledge for my romantic partners. Oftentimes, they don't have this specific knowledge, and what I do looks pretty damn amazing to them.

"OMG! Can I date you?"

Er...

So glad to see there was a #SillyCuratorPrompt when I was itching to do some watercolor tonight!

@Curator I didn't look up what a chicken or an ostrich look like for reference and it took like a minute. I'm pretty sure it would've looked the same if I looked both things up and took my time. This looks amazing, is what I'm saying.

The northern hemisphere is heading into spring, while down here we're looking forward to autumn. Let's have a thematically appropriate #SillyCuratorPrompt and draw either a #SpringChicken or an Autumn... hmm... let's go #AutumnOstrich :P (Or heck, I'm not your mum, draw both!)

No drawing skill necessary, join in and have fun for the sake of doing something creative!

We have a lot of blind and partially sighted users on the fediverse. Accessibility is important here, and as such, it's good form to include image descriptions (alt text) when we add media to our posts. When someone uses a screenreader to read the timeline, and the screenreader comes to an image with no alt text, it just says 'image' (as far as I know). That's boring, unhelpful, and provides no clue as to what the image actually *is*. This differs slightly depending on how you're using (cont)
