#FollowBackFriday. Yay!

I was a bit apprehensive about signing up to #Mastodon but I shouldn't have worried. It's like a breath of fresh air to be surrounded by pleasant and positive people on here.

I'm a fairly atypical Granny, living in #Scotland, and with an #Iceland photography obsession. Bout ye?

Reynisdrangar sea stacks off the southern coast of #Iceland at Vík í Mýrdal. Although the sea looks dark and foreboding, it's actually very clear water but the sand beneath is black.

The ever-present danger of global variables.

Today I finally told my kids that St Patrick isn't real, and it's been me putting the snakes under their pillows all these years.

@HamonWry I'm trying, don't attack me.

I love #MonsterPutin...Sadly not even #Russian Propaganda media news can make me say that without puking on the middle of typing it.

Russia today just followed me, should i got worried about living in a 5th floor?😂

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 “most popular state bird,” 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).

REPUBLICANS: Business must not be hamstrung by intrusive government regulations!

ALSO REPUBLICANS: We'll tell you where you're allowed to invest your money.

Scientist: St. Patrick's day is bad because driving snakes out of their natural habitat disrupts the balance of the ecosystem

"Actually, it's a metaphor for driving out pagans"

Scientist: oh, I'd have to do an environmental impact study on pagans before I could comment on that

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.

Good morning! Anyone want to be accountabilibuddies today? I have a ton of things I need to get done and I bet some of you do too! Let's do it together!

Oh, man. This comic — from 1993 — could NOT be more relevant today. As usual, Bill Watterson hits it out of the park.

Remember Bridget Walker a 6 years old who saved his 3 years old sister from a massive German Shepherd. Got 90 stitches over his body but save his little sister. A true little warrior, proud of him. This is a 6 years old who has earned all of my respect.

Nailed it.
