Oakland, CA. I like making food, pottery, and digital services.
been wanting to make some plotter drawings to raise money for all the gaza gofundmes in my timelines so I started trying out the DEM-to-SVG approach with sentinel-1 data estimates of destroyed areas. Gaza's pretty flat so as terrain it doesn't quite have the same effect but the gaps are still a lot. This is a screenshot from a corner of Khan Younis.

Sniffing garden flowers on my way to BART. Flower sniff rankings:
4. Lavender. Barely noticeable. All show no fragrance flow. What happened here?
3. Roses. Why plant roses if they don’t smell great? Looks??

If they don’t have kids and have cash or 1099 income, they’ll likely owe even if eligible
