just a solarpunk hillbilly living in the gasoline crack of history i get my glory in the desert rain

a fairly close shot of some young grape leaves with a small green cluster of flower buds (not yet open), various woodland debris in the blurred background. this branch of the grape vine hangs out of the hedge, unsupported, so it's hanging at approximately adult eye level.
a gray cat (who is leashed, btw) lying in a lot of grass and wild onions, eating blades of grass as best as his teeth, which are not designed for this task, will allow.
a mixed bouquet of different daffodils -- some white and pink or orange, some yellow, some singles, some doubles. a profusion of daffodilia.
a closeup of an alpine clematis flower, four blue petals glowing in the morning sun
photo showing a keyboard in the foreground, with my son's hands typing on it, and a small cat sitting in his lap, gazing up at him with curiosity and love

Five paintings of a stunted white Polish hen named Dulcinea del Taboso, the paintings all laid out side by side on a table. You cannot see her eyes in any of the photos. She may not have eyes, we're not sure. Most of the paintings represent her as covered in mud, her natural state, standing next to daffodils.

a closeup picture of a dish of peach cobbler, with a couple of chamomile buds sitting on top of the peaches
Toot on Mastodon from GeePawHill.: "In analyzing the impact of LLMs, old-timers like me get pretty pissy about how bad the resulting work is. But here's the thing: the bulk of the geek trade already does such shitty work such that LLM-generated code can actually compete."

three tomato halves: one green, one yellow, one red, lined up in a row on a plate, with a little flaky salt on top. the top of the photo is dominated by an ear of corn that happened to also be on the plate. a picture of summer, in a way.
a sweet potato flower, among sweet potato vines. the flower looks like a morning glory, to which it is related, and is white with a pink-purple center.
a fancy bitch's hand holding a cocktail saucer filled with peach-tomato gazpacho with a garnish of basil chiffonade and a few dribbles of a coconut milk based hot sauce, with our front walk in the background
it's just like the post says: a group of poppy seed pods with faces carved in them, looking like some kind of tim burton scene
two tom turkeys -- a white one on the left and a brown one on the right -- standing with their backs to each other
on the right is a small pile of mangelwurzel roots, bright pink and a little rough looking. on the left, a pot with peeled, cut up mangelwurzel, displaying the shades of white, green, and pink that appear inside the root.

a cilantro (or coriander) plant starting to go to seed. the seeds are still green, and there are still some white flowers on the plant.
a red angus young cow, perhaps a heifer, in the show ring, being led by a teenage girl in a white shirt and black pants. the judge, a rancher wearing a cowboy hat and western wear, is speaking to the girl about her cow and assessing the cow's traits, including her feminine build. mountains in the background.
a very good girl (sheep) getting a head scritch
a buff-colored polish chick sits on the roof of a small chicken coop while a black and white polish chick stands on a higher level of the same chicken coop looking down at her, or looking at something, it's hard to tell with polish chicks, given their feather crests
a shadowed hand, appearing bluish, with a raspberry on the end of each of the four fingers, looking like the "energy dome" hats that DEVO sometimes wore
