Facebook Spam Notification

Facebook Spam Notification
I was thinking about posting something to Facebook. Their notification has successfully made me rethink my decision.

Facebook notification that reads: Your content goes against our Community Standards on spam. It also shows the comment I was trying to make: It's articles like this that remind me why I'm a member of the IndieWeb http://indieweb.org

hand holding up a cocktail in the foreground with a firepit featuring some flaming logs in the middle ground, and a green lawn and garden with a German shepherd in the background

The inaugural cocktail (a rusty nail with an orange twist) for the new fire pit. We’ve had it for over a year now and not managed to actually break it in. The weather is cool, but nice, so no time like the present.

I LUV LA

I LUV LA

I LUV LA
I’m reminded that I saw a Dodger grey Lamborghini with the license plate “I LUV LA” headed westbound on the 210 freeway yesterday. It had a large round LA logo on the hood.

Tonight's moon
Doing a bit of stargazing tonight and managed to get a not horrific picture of the moon in a very low tech manner. I’ll have to dig around to see if I’ve got any DLSR adapters for this telescope for some better imagery.

Taken with Samsung 8 without dovetail to Orion StarBlast 4.5″ Altazimuth Reflector Tabletop Telescope.
