" A snowboarder spent 15 hours trapped overnight inside a ski lift gondola amid freezing temperatures at a Lake Tahoe resort, according to officials and media reports.
Monica Laso boarded the gondola around 5 p.m. Thursday at Heavenly Ski Resort to ride down the mountain because she was too tired to snowboard. But it stopped just minutes later while she was still in the sky"
Oh man... the ULTIMATE Gondola buddy. Life sized!!! He's finally back in stock!!
So expensive though... and I wouldn't be able to easily bring him around in public :( ... that's no way for a Gondola to live :(
This is to allow access to users in countries and networks that may block access (or that may be blocked by the firewall...), so that everyone can enjoy #gondola! #onion#onions
I wish there was a good way or place of people for me to share my love of various characters and stuffed animals with!
The Japanese characters are hard to link up with people wise because of language barriers, and on Mastodon I don't see many JP users adding hashtags
European ones are easier but #Moomin (SE+DK/FI/NO) and #Krtek (CZ) have their own language barriers
It feels a bit pointless to post without knowing if anyone sees it but I hope one day someone does! #rilakkuma
#gondola is the odd one out because he's so well represented online in the niche communities built up, that there isn't much to say in an in person meetup. Perhaps a group photo with gondola plushies would be fun
I've setup a new copy of the Gondola Stravers archive, with permission and help from Kevin, the original owner/sysop of gondola.stravers.net (closing July 1st 2023)
So grateful that Kevin has hosted this for what seems like 7 years, sharing a wonderful calm delight into the world through Gondola.
Working through the current files to find anything potentially discomforting but so far nothing, it's all (seemingly) OK.
