OH heard a lot of grunting outside our kitchen window in the middle of the night. On looking to see, turns out it was two hedgehogs "very much in love" 😄💕

Seems there might be a family of hedgehogs soon 🤗

A video filmed during Donald 's New Jersey rally on Saturday has shown "thousands" of people leaving while the former president was still talking.

@GottaLaff Yes, your good vibes are coming over the ocean, and I must always smile when I see the WompWomps.😄👍🏼 Thanks for reporting all that stuff from the courtroom, by the way, that must be exhausting...🥱🙄

I think maybe the best tribute I can make to my mom (other than to mention how decent, how sweet, how respectful to others she was), is to show you pictures of our garden.

She was an artist, but also a gardener. She somehow instilled both of those things in me, so that twenty-three years after she passed and 3000 miles away, we have a nice garden. I think of her often when I’m working in it.

Her garden was full of roses, boxwood, azaleas and wildflowers. I wish I had pictures of it to show you.

Thanks, Mom.

Taken from the back (west) end of the garden, looking southeast. Areas of sun and shade. Trunks of a holly tree take up the left edge of the photo, with Geranium maderense and other plants in the background.

Well, if this isn't one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen...

This stone isn't finished yet, but it felt particularly important to see it as it was being carved.

Urdu, the language of my grandfather, memorialised in Scottish sandstone. And somehow, within the words, within the stone his presence and his experiences memorialised too.

@kristiedegaris Beautiful! Did you do it yourself or was it a public art project or something else?

Walking in the city at night without fear, sustainable #PublicTransport, wider foot and cycle paths in the immediate vicinity to make it easier to "zigzag" throughout the day, or better lighting - women would do a lot of things differently when it comes to #UrbanPlanning.

A city for all: How shall we live? (In German).

I do like Mastodon. On this day in 2024, the first of from Wales to France from @druid succeeded: https://mastodon.online/@druid@toot.wales/112382136650041040

May the be with you! 😁 💪 :blobcatcoffee:

@NatureMC I've seen it this morning but didn't dare to boost it... Hope it was a nice cup of coffee, but I'm sure druids know how to teleport stuff from one world to another...☕🧙🏼

🧵 1/5 I often feel the need to start a blog ‘Against polarisation’.

Example: I come home from mowing. My TL is full of calls to stop mowing. This activism is good and important. BUT...

Those who have other needs are often bullied. People in SocMed often don't listen to different thoughts anymore.

I just mowed a far too high meadow in order to promote biodiversity. How so?!?
We had extreme weather. Two early hot summer phases have allowed plants to flourish that hold down anything less robust.

theappletree,
@theappletree@ruhr.social avatar

@NatureMC Thank you, great thoughts! Polarisation is one of the worst things in societies and social media, too, of course. Maybe it's about feeling insecure about things, so people tend to choose a side to have some company or understand at least this side. Sometimes you feel somehow muted and not heard at all by someone with a strong opinion. So you don't even try to take part in the conversation anymore. The shouting gets louder, even here.

Für Kurzentschlossene:
Heute bin ich mit einem Infostand zum Thema Datenschutz und IT-Sicherheit beim Medienaktiv Festival in der Bielefelder Stadtbibliothek. Am meinem Stand können Kinder z.B. ein Datenschutz-Memory spielen und üben, wie man ein sicheres PW erstellt.
@fedieltern
Es gibt auch eine Infoecke für Eltern und Lehrkräfte.

- Memory

I call this piece "don't let the bastards grind you down", because I am Quite Cross today & am trying to shake myself out of it.

There will be a time to focus the anger, but it's serving no purpose today so it can do one.

Time to channel my Inner Lichen.

@eclectech I wish I could be so funny and encouraging when it's time to channel my inner lychen Thanks for a great witticism and picture, hope you feel better soon.Take care!

In order to upgrade my qualification and also be an English teacher I've signed up for a basket of different courses in language and literature, from different universities.

I'm not worried about the studying - but I'm dreading having to log into and navigate six different kinds of university intranets.

@theappletree@ruhr.social avatar

@Loukas That sounds a bit confusing. Isn't there a possibility to do it at one or two places?
