This is my families #christmasTree / Holiday Tree for this year.
My family makes our x-mas tree each year out of found materials, trash or natural. For the most part. Each year my brother and I alternate who designs it.
here is a video of the tree rotating for a 360 view.

It was my design this year, and is made of flagstone, redwood, and bird seeds. About 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 ft

#idea for passing #government #deficit reduction laws while appeasing conservative and liberal parties.
Law: liberals cut X dollars to social/cultural/environmental program. Conservatives cut X dollars to military/religious/conservative programs or increase X dollars in taxes
Both sides suffer equally, debt gets reduced

Dear #NASA and #ESA, in the images you use, please require all artist-created images to be clearly labeled as such. I'm tired of thinking I'm seeing photos, only to realize its art. I thought I saw a photo of a black hole decades ago. Only when they can out with the first actual photo, did I realize it was art. NASA and ESA often distribute this type of art and its difficult to verify if its real or not.
Example.

Why do people check #corn for quality? They open them up and reject them if a tiny part is under-developed. Usually less than 10% and can just be cut off. An ear of corn costs around 0.25$US. That's pretty cheap, yet all that rejected corn is wasted. Usually tossed in the trash. #Foodwaste #Food #trash
