Showing off her tail.

I browsed through the new Victor Jara Archive website, and I really liked this collection of posters from events promoting human rights in the spirit of Victor Jara.

Estoy muy contento y orgulloso de contarles que se estrenó el sitio web del Archivo Victor Jara, cuyo desarrollo e implementación me fue encargado por la Fundación del mismo nombre.

La figura y obra de Victor atraviesa toda mi vida y mi actividad musical. Su música ha estado presente desde siempre en mi casa. "La Partida" fue una de las primeras canciones que aprendí en teclado. Así que fue un honor y privilegio haber trabajado para la Fundación.

#Gardening #Rhubarb #Iowa

First harvest of rhubarb! This perennial is a standard plant in midwestern gardens. I typically cook it and add enough sugar to make a tangy-sweet sauce to put on cereal or eat with yogurt. (I like rhubarb pie, but I leave the baking to the experts 🙂)

Hey, is there any artist that I could commission for a custom avatar/profile picture in the style of a 90s video game?

Would prefer to get someone from fedi than just someone random from a web search, and I especially don't want some slop.

Everything you might want to know about Aronia berries from a research farm associated with the University of Wisconsin (link).

The web page reflects the push made some 20 years ago to promote Aronia as an alternative crop. I know a man who planted 100s of plants. They grow fine in southern Iowa, but the problem (typical) is harvesting and marketing. Thus, I like to call the Aronia berries “Erroneous berries.” 🙂

Aronia (Black Chokeberry). Aronia melanocarpa is a shrub native to eastern North America. This particular cultivar, Viking, was developed in Europe and may have some genetics from a related genus, Sorbus.

I found the roadrunner while driving very slowly along the road (true to their name) first thing in the morning. They are pretty big so not too hard to spot, but the ones I’ve seen recently are quick to run away (true to their name). This one was a little wary but I approached very slowly. Took a few initial distant photos through the windshield but was at last able to creep up next to it and shoot out of my rolled down window. Nice morning!
