The sun just manages to break through the clouds as steam rises from the river on a very cold morning in Yellowstone National Park. See more here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/early-morning-river-scene-yellowstone-national-park-ii-joan-carroll.html

I absolutely love and rely on this website’s rankings of peppers using the Scoville Scale. It’s opened up a whole new world for me.

New #introduction for new instance!

I'm Tonya Marie, a mid-50s trans woman originally from Texas but now safely ensconced in Seattle. I'm a semi-retired #math teacher and occasional coder, but my passion is being a housewife for my loving wife.

When I'm not #cooking, #baking, or keeping house, I love #boardgames and both computer and tabletop #RPGs (particularly #pathfinder).

I post livetoots of various cooking and baking endeavors under the hashtag #WhatIsTonyaMarieCooking.

After a conversation with somebody on here about Mastodon clients and filtering, I cleaned up my JavaScript Mastodon client code and put it up here:

https://github.com/FahimF/FediJS

It’s pure JavaScript — no libraries, no dependencies … except for FontAwesome and BootStrap. And my original aim was to keep the code simple and uncomplicated.

It doesn’t do much at the moment except to allow you to connect to a Fedi server and to fetch posts (and maybe favourites and bookmarks? I forget …)

I was fixing an issue in my variation of Tusker today (where going several levels deep into a conversation would cause a crash) and I realized just how far I’d have to go to get the JavaScript client to that level. It probably would be easier in some respects and having the code as JavaScript would mean that it would run on so many different platforms, but do I have the fortitude to work on yet another client?

I’m not sure … But I do feel the itch to actually finish the JS Client … I guess we’ll see …

Red Flowers In Emroidery

2023-02-09/10 day 237/238 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off). 

This was a Tatyworks tutorial using brushes that mimic embroidery stitches. The brushes and background image are provided by her at no cost at the link for her tutorial.

This was fun and definitely something a bit different than the usual.

Years ago, and by years, I mean decades, when I was a wee child, my grandmother taught me embroidery. I learned the basics and enjoyed it, but didn’t really take it any further. My other grandmother taught me crocheting, and I knitted, too, and have many friends who are prolific knitters and crocheters. About twenty years later, I took up cross stitch for a brief time period. I have friends who are avid cross stitchers and can do brilliant stuff. Embroidery and other fibre arts are no longer possible for me with my vision problems along with arthritis and unstable dislocating fingers. But this, using an iPad and Procreate, I can do. And this project took me back to some fond memories of my grandmothers.

Yes, I'm catching up on my backlog of posting.

No tutorial for this one. This is more playing with oil brushes.

Love Heart

As opposed to a hate heart or something? Yeah, I dunno.

2023-02-02 day 230 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off). 

I did this one on a whim. Valentine’s Day was coming when I did this so it seemed like something to do. And it was fun! I am, of course, a month late posting this.

Tom Hanks movies can go either way — there are ones that I’ve absolutely loved, and then there are ones that I care nothing whatsoever for (and I’m looking at you, “Finch” …)

But “A Man Called Otto”, what can I say? It feels like his best movie ever, at least right now just after watching it, feels like one of his very best 🙂 I loved everything about the movie and how the story unfolded. It was a brilliant performance, and a great story!

Green Ridge Windmill, Brighton, UK. Also known as Waterhall Mill, it was built in 1885. It was the last windmill built in Sussex, and was working until 1924. In World War II it was used by the Home Guard as a lookout post. The mill was converted into a house in 1963, and externally restored. The sweeps (Sussex dialect for sails) were replaced in 1974. This is my nearest large open space, and I love it.

I suppose you might be fed up with shots of the #AuroraBorealis by now, so I’ll just sneak in this moon photo with the #MirrieDancers photobombing! 😊
