My daughter and her friend take an adventurous leap into summer, and by "summer", I mean the Pacific ocean. Shot on the super telephoto on the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. https://flic.kr/p/2oM7SHu
On this day 102 years ago, my mom was born. Here she is, at far right, taking 8mm movies of my sister and three of my cousins riding on a pony at my grandma's house in Nebraska, probably on or about her birthday 70 or so years ago.
Happy Birthday Mom! You are greatly missed by all of us!
Day off today equals early #Weekend mode! 🎉 Soo needed it! For those who had to work today, welcome to the weekend! 👊🏻
Made it out to our tradition #Friday night #Family ice cream trip 🍦🥳
Got my first dish icream of the year! So went with a medium 😬 Cardio day is going to kick my butt tomorrow 😂
Their first #SurvivalRace! Young one bravely decided to run without assistance and the older one took the unofficial 3rd place! What a blast! #Run#Family#Kids
Anybody on @bookstodon with #audiobook recommendation. Long road trip ahead with my #family, with plenty of opportunity to finish almost any book in the next couple of weeks. I love audiobooks (mostly sci-fi and fantasy). I’ve tried to get my kids (8, 10, 13 and 13) to be interested in audiobooks… but I have generally failed. I need something that will grab their attention. Would love to hear ideas and thoughts.
Was so ready for our Traditional #Friday night #Family#IceCream trip! It’s been a long day 😓 had to bring my son in to the doctors after work. Double ear infection and an allergic reaction rash. Yeesh.
Went with hard ice cream for a change! What do you prefer, Hard ice cream or soft ice cream?
Hope everyone had a great Friday! After a hard working work week, don’t forget to relax and have some fun this weekend! 😎🎉
My Father’s Day was really great. My eldest kids came over and we all played board games for hours. Then we ate super yummy vegan food that my wife made with love. Finally we finished with some Crawl on the PlayStation before watching my favorite Miyazaki movie, Princess Mononoke.
Interestingly, my son shows up wearing the same t-shirt that I was wearing (for the Crawl game). 🤷🏻♂️

Was away for a week visiting my parents. Don’t get to see them nearly enough, in no small part thanks to our lovely “European Values” meaning they have to jump through more hoops to come visit us in Ireland than they can manage at their age. You see, we don’t really see non-Europeans as human in Europe. They’re something less. A potential threat.
I may have an EU passport and pass for white but I never forget that. In fact, I think about it every time I miss my parents.
If you don’t have provisions for family members of citizens to visit without being subject to bureaucratic hurdles then you have two classes of citizens: ones who you recognise as having families and ones who you don’t.
A father or a mother or a brother or a sister should not need a visa every time they want to visit.
That’s a racist and xenophobic policy.
And if you don’t have to experience that because your family all have the same citizenship, count yourself lucky.
