Today I learned that LEGO has a program where you can send them your old LEGO (bricks, pieces, mini-figs, etc). LEGO will then take them in, wash / sterilize them, and donate them to children in need!

They even pay for the shipping for you.

If you want to know more, you can check out their website here: https://www.lego.com/en-us/sustainability/environment/replay

Anthro,

@mdmrn

Re-Use is way better than recycled!

scientist,

@mdmrn

Ooh! Bless their kind plastic hearts! And covert product endorsements

Seriously, though.

Lego bricks are toys for children to learn and have fun. And, more importantly, non-biodegradable pieces of plastic that, because of the amount of plastic entering the environment, when the children of today become tomorrow's adults, will wish that the adults of today hadn't bought them so much plastic stuff.

Whilst we are endorsing products. These boots are the best https://www.vegetarian-shoes.co.uk/all_products/trail_boot_mk3_brown/20026_p.html

Looks like Tumblr is having issues and Fedi is getting another wave of new folks.

Welcome to the Fediverse, new folks!

A couple tips:

Boost freely

Try to put up for yourself an introduction post with the hashtag or or both listing stuff you're interested in

Use hashtags freely, they help folks find you and what you're posting!

Use Alt-Text in your pictures. It helps a lot!

@mdmrn

Also, in between finding folks to follow, you can follow hashtags, too! It's the greatest thing!

@mdmrn @jcrabapple I always recommend "follow and favorite liberally!" Build up that feed and don't be afraid to dive down rabbit holes from boosts. Lots of great people to find here!

So, as @miona is still on hiatus, we aren't getting a prompt this week.

So, I'll just post some random @ocremix tune.

Here's an older favorite of mine, it's a jazz remix / remake of the 2 overworld theme by Estradasphere. And it is so well done.

Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CotqYivpqmw

@mdmrn Nothing's cozier than jazz remixes of classic mario games, or classic nintendo games in general. Love this!

mdmrn,
@mdmrn@urusai.social avatar

@enjru It's so good. I heard it years ago when I used to check OCRemix almost daily. Had to give it a plug again!

Okay, so I have a appointment today. Something I always do literally right before going to the dentist is brush my teeth and floss. One last brush through before I go.

Am I an oddball? Or do others do that too?

Vote in the & to help signal boost.

I'm genuinely curious.

So, Dolly Parton recently dropped a cover of Queen's "We are the Champions / We Will Rock You' and no one told me?

For shame.

@mdmrn The last time I tried that, I was spammed with every comment that was posted to that magazine. Did that change?

@luca I don't think it has. Which is a shame. Not sure if there is a cleaner way of following

This week for @Kitty's Tune Tuesday @derthomas gave us a theme of "The Opener." We remember the first acts / songs we saw live.

Apart from kid's stuff, like Sesame Street Live, the first concert I went to was in 1994 for Billy Joel's River of Dreams tour. My parent's took me and all of my siblings (at the time).

I distinctly remember two things: the song "River of Dreams" and my brother sleeping through the entire concert. That's about it. https://songwhip.com/billy-joel/the-river-of-dreams

To be fair, that was 30 years ago...

EDIT: Added one more memory.

Obviously, the G in "GIF" is pronounced like in "gnat," and is silent.

Final ruling.
