If you're planning to celebrate Bicycle Day tomorrow --or even if you're not but you know what it is-- check this out:

That's a track I wrote a couple years ago to celebrate this most holy of psychedelic holidays. Enjoy!

How do you prepare San Pedro? 🌵

First, the cactus is sliced. You get star shaped slices. The shape varies depending on the number of ribs and the size of the cactus.

The tip of the cactus is usually kept to grow another plant, by simply placing it on a fresh soil.

I didn't have a photo of this step, and I found this one on Wikimedia Commons.

I'm gonna list out my interests, and there's a ton of 'em. Classic autism move, getting obsessed with weird topics that stick with you forever.

Heads up, #Fediverse, you might lose it when I drop 100+ hashtags in one post. That's just how autism rolls I guess.

Yeah, I know it's a lot. But that's the beauty of an autistic brain I guess, we go deep on what fascinates us.

In this close-up photo, you can see that San Pedro cacti 🌵 have 6 to 8 ribs. The plant grows more ribs as it gets bigger. Of course the symbolic of the number of ribs can be of importance during ceremonies. I heard some have as many as 13, 17...!

Notice also the nice green-blue colour.

This photo was taken from the same botanical garden than the previous one.

New thread 🧵! I want to talk about San Pedro, the cactus 🌵.

It's a plant medicine that is very dear to me because of its capacity to open your heart.

It grows in the mountain regions of the Andes, especially in Ecuador, Peru and Colombia.

San Pedro is used for different closely related cacti. Here is a photo of Trichocereus macrogonus var. pachanoi I took in a botanical garden in Quito..

Hi, hey, hallo & welcome to Mastodon 🐘

I have seen a surge of new users joining the fediverse and especially Mastodon over the past few months leading up to the new presidential term.

Feel free to introduce yourself and maybe follow a few people that seem friendly, interesting, or share your values!

Let me introduce myself to the new people joining our community:

Autistic AF. I'm all about anarcho-syndicalism, privacy, security, Buddhism, Psychedelics, GrapheneOS, Debian, Elementary, PeerTube, and way more. Gender-fluid—He/She, His/Her, whatever works; I'm not here to fit anyone's mold. Also, I really like Linux—because I love free software and systems that actually respects my freedom!

If you’re not into my rants about anarcho-syndicalism or my thoughts on computer operating systems, no worries. My Pixelfed is a great place to follow me without all the noise.

I'm moving to the fediverse full-time, and leaving Twitter behind after a few months.

I mainly used Twitter to connect with my political party, Piratpartiet Norway, while their forum was down, and this was the main reason I signed up for Twitter in the first place, now that the forum is online again, I'm leaving the bird behind.

Going forward, you can expect more posts and boosts from me about privacy, security, Monero, Linux, North Korea, Buddhism, psychedelics, music, and much more.

I’m looking forward to connecting with everyone here!

Continuing the study and use of psychedelics to help people with mental health issues (especially vets) seems like a very good thing but Healing Realty Trust? Now that sounds like a corporation that has our best interests in mind: "We expect RFK to usher in a new era of U.S. health care,” Joe Caltabiano, the CEO of Healing Realty Trust, which invests in the psychedelic and cannabis industry, wrote in a statement."
