On 15th April 1945 the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp was liberated. Some 50,000 prisoners including around 3,500 children died in the camp of hunger, disease or physical violence. Those who died included Jews, Czechs, Poles, anti-Nazi Christians, homosexuals, Roma and Sinti. When the camp was liberated soldiers found thousands of unburied bodies.

When we come to the Carpathians, we definitely buy cheese horses. It is very tasty. There, according to tradition, it is placed in the Easter basket. In the Vinnytsia region, we bake a cheese casserole. Today I will assemble the basket and show what we will put in it.

This afternoon I had a text chat with an Apple sales rep named Laura, asking for help figuring out how to trade in multiple computers to buy one. When she was done helping me, she asked if she could say something. Intrigued, I said yes. Hereβs that conversation:
I am struggling with relief that a temporary stay has been placed, anger at who did it (Alito) and rage that the pharma lobbyists are the ones now controlling this entire thing. No one gives a shit about the real women and the lives that will be effected by this. #AbortionRights #WomensRights

A still life with a surreal twist. A little nod to Dali's surrealistic work with two pears arranged in a yin & yang pattern. Pairing the two pears alongside the upside down tea mug you then have the recipe for a surreal treat to hang on your wall!

If you're using Mastodon through a computer, there are lots of keyboard shortcuts you can use. Type shift + ? (or just ? depending on your keyboard layout) to see a complete list of all the shortcuts.
You can also type emojis directly in posts by typing a colon : and then a keyword without a space, which brings up matching emoji. For example :sun would show emoji with the keyword "sun".
There's more info on these features at https://fedi.tips/using-mastodon-through-a-keyboard/

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.
