@jjhysell I think kindness is more specific, as well as more actionable. One can act with kindness or be kind TO others, first and foremost. Whereas though “be nice to…” is grammatical, the concept is more about an assessment of you. (Originally “nice” meant innocent!) Because there’s so much context into being “nice” as in socially appropriate, niceness might mean neatness, respect for hierarchy, being well dressed, gender conformity, having community norm hobbies or interests, or being good at small talk. Or even performing disapproval of the wrong type of person!

Consequently I’d much rather speak of being kind, even in situations where kind and nice overlap.

Often considered the newest world religion, the Bahá'í Faith has its own calendar of 19 months consisting of 19 days each. The Bahá'í New Year is Naw-Rúz, coinciding with the ancient Iranian festival of Nowruz that celebrates the return of spring in the northern hemisphere. On Naw-Rúz, Bahá'ís celebrate not only the return of spring, but also the spiritual springtime ushered in by Bahá'u'lláh, whom they know as the long-promised Manifestation of God for this Day. #bahai #HappyNawRuz

@Clementulus Perhaps the fungus doesn't know which way's "up!" Yes, I've seen grow towers like this. I do pretty well avoiding fungus on in-ground tomatoes by using drip irrigation - but with in-ground comes the downside of not being able to move the plants when weather changes.

Une semaine pour fabriquer un prototype d'outil de visite pour un château choisi au hasard et quelques jours pour proposer une histoire et deux façons, numérique et analogique de la raconter. Après, on ira voir les proprios pour voir si ça leur plaît. Avec Catherine Gout.

The "hang your tomato plants upside down in the garage to ripen after the weather's turned cold" trick is a continuum of #gardening techniques rather than one way to do it.

- you don't need the whole plant (a branch is fine)
- you definitely don't need roots (sheesh)
- it doesn't need to hang, a box is fine (although circulation and keeping the tomatoes from resting on their base is probably a good idea.)

This is one of my favourite wildlife photos that I've taken so far. It's a young crow from spring 2021. The crow was quite content to sit on a branch and observe their surroundings while I photographed them.
