I love #MonsterPutin...Sadly not even #Russian Propaganda media news can make me say that without puking on the middle of typing it.
Stay away from the windows. And stairs.
I'm hiding.
This very red northern cardinal is in a crepe myrtle tree near my back fence. Fortunately, it's up high so the fence isn't in the picture.
"The cardinal is a popular motif on many bird-themed decorations, holiday cards, and ornaments. It even features as a main character in a popular video game-turned-movie. The species' eye-catching plumage and wide distribution also helped land the Northern Cardinal the title of βmost popular state bird,β since the following seven states declare it the official bird (the most for any species): Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia. It's also a popular sports mascot, from Missouri (the St. Louis professional baseball team) to Arizona (professional football team), and at countless colleges and high schools." - abcbirds.org

Hey mastodon world, I'm #newhere. My name is Kathrin, I'm a travel photographer from Germany. One of my favourite images is this one here of a field full of red poppies. I took it this summer in Blankenburg, Harz Mountains, Germany. I've never seen such a beautiful field before!
I sell my photography (and digital abstracts) as prints, jigsaw puzzles, on pillows, ornaments, journals etc (links in bio).

Friendly reminder that using those 'fancy text' generators to make your name or the text in your posts all pretty makes them inaccessible to screen reader users.
to you, they're just cute lettering you can just skip over. For a screen reader user like me, depending on various things, they could come out as
'mathematical small bold k mathematical small bold a mathematical small bold r mathematical small bold a',
'letter 126b letter 17dj letter 13y7dwiz'
or nothing at all.
I'm not sure off the top of my head how they appear on a Braille display but it's bound to be a right mess.
I don't particularly call any of those pretty, do you?
Plain boring text that is accessible to everyone is the new pretty.
Has anyone caught Rhonda's new interview in Vogue?

I'm wondering how long it'll be before he goes full Putin and has a law passed forbidding this kind of satire?
Oh, man. This comic β from 1993 β could NOT be more relevant today. As usual, Bill Watterson hits it out of the park.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
