Some people are so creative and original. That is what I love about social media the most. Original content creation that isn't deliberately pandering for likes. In that vain here ya go. 🙃😂😋

I am immune suppressed, unable to make antibodies from vaccines, always masking & sitting outdoors. An isolated life.

An unmasked person coughed near me two weeks ago, & I developed pneumonia. In recovery, but slow.

When I see people who mask, I see love in action.

Love is a verb.

"Many of the things that you have been taught were at one time the radical ideas of individuals who had the courage to believe what their own hearts and minds told them was true, rather than accept the common beliefs of their day."

My neighbours operate a pizzeria out of a food truck in their backyard, it's the best pizza I've ever had. It's like a drug, and the fact that I only have to walk a few minutes from the house to make a back alley deal for some delicious wood fired neapolitan pizza is just amazing.

Maybe such thing would be more common if I didn't live in a strict residential zone. This pizza makes me long for mixed commercial/residential zoning, to make it easier to walk to more than just pizza.

Something quite serious now.

For the past 2 years on the birdsite, I've enjoyed being part of Sarah Millican's #JoinIn - there for anyone on their own over the festive season who would like to join in a group chat to help pass the day.

We've had some great times, and I'm planning to support it here too this year.

If you're lonely, just post #JoinIn so we can spot you, or search for the #JoinIn hashtag, and just join in!

Good idea? Give it a BOOST!

'A BAD DAY', a story by Trumpet.

One day Trumpet got out of bed to find that A BAD PERSON had created thousands of bots on thousands of domains trying to BREAK MASTODON. How rude!

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21977

Trumpet tried to fix it (while eating his corn flakes)), which didn't work. Then the database fell over. Then Trumpet tried to restore the database (over 3 hours) which FAILED AT 99%. This made Trumpet sad. The second attempt worked.

Trumpet has had a bad day! 😞
