Three friends an I are going to see Chappel Roan later this week in Queens. I like her pink pony club, and have been making a variety of pink ponies lately.

I decided to make some tiny pink "pony"s that the four of us could wear as necklaces to the concert. They also could be clipped onto hats. I got the tiniest 6mm blue phosphor glass I could get my hands on and filled them to just 8 torr neon (normally 18torr at this size) so they are nice an conductive an the battery lasts longer. Pure neon fill- so I can fix em if they break.

I do have to double check the rules of forest hills. I guess I could lie an say they are LEDs :). One of my friends requested a heart tiara (I think the tour has hearts in its theme) so I made two lil ones filled for battery life :).

I sure hope we can dance with the neon as a pink pony club :)

Amid rising #electric #bills, states are under pressure to insulate regular household & business ratepayers from the costs of feeding #BigTech’s #energy hungry #DataCenters.

It’s not clear that any state has a solution & the actual effect of data centers on #electricity bills is difficult to pin down. Some critics question whether states have the spine to take a hard line against #tech behemoths like #Microsoft, #Google, #Amazon & #Meta.

@12thRITS @foone left hand image wallsocket is AU/NZ not European. Which means I can try it at home!
