Until the US is safely walkable or bikeable, people will continue to buy urban tanks in self-defense.
Since my kids were three years old, they've known to raise their hand as high as they can and wave it around whenever they hear a car engine start.
Some strangers smile and wave back when they see my kids do this. They think it's cute! But it's not really that cute.
I love looking at the ancient CSS designs from the aughts on CSS Zen Garden
@adafruit There is no honor in that warning to “wear safety goggles.”
Boosting this with alt-text because #librarians rule! 💪
I love the last panel. 😊
Research at @UTAustin finds that community gardens and urban farms not only provide food and improve people’s well-being, they also have a positive impact on #biodiversity & local ecosystems. It's a win-win. This has to be the way to grow in the future!

I built an Excel spreadsheet a decade ago to track work projects and have been using it as a template every year since, with only a few tweaks. And I only just noticed that the column header for email addresses still has a hyphen in it. Because ten years ago “it’s spelled ‘e-mail’” was a hill I would have died on.
I've lived in a rural forested area but so many times when I saw something and ran to get my camera, it' was gone by the time I got back. This time this large female pileated woodpecker was too focused on her task to care about me. Their beaks are strong and can knock whole chunks of bark off a mature Douglas Fir tree. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/female-pileated-woodpecker-no-2-belinda-greb.html #birdphotography #pileatedwoodpecker #aYearforart #wildlifephotography #naturephotography
Continuing my obsession with animals in Glasgow's architecture, here's a lizard I came across on the front of the John Ross Memorial Church for the Deaf on West Regent Street.

SO EXCITING to see so many new people on here. If you run a sex blog, write erotica, take sexy photos or make audio porn, reply to this with a link to your site and I'll add you to my list!
(It's a good list, basically just one I dip into every now and then so I can boost other smutty folks I follow - sometimes things get lost in the TL)
This is one of my favorite pictures. It feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.
The colors are original: this is an #autochrome, using the first process for color #photography invented by the Lumière brothers in 1903.
The women are unknown, but I can't help wondering how they fared a few years later in nazi-occupied Paris.
Living in the #wetlands of #Polesia (also spelled #Polesie) in #EasternPoland. Surrounded by #bogs and #forests, trying not to fuck up surrounding nature too much.
Taking care of a small pack of #dogs – #IdąPsięta.
Luddite working with hi-tech.
#RuralBroadband provider by accident. Starting a small LoRaWAN project to monitor our wetlands. Coding in #Python. Dealing with dirty data, cleaning them when time allows.
#Atheist. I don't *believe* in #science – science is the *only* thing that protects us from belief.
Fuck nazis.

I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
