Recovering photography curator, green fingered dog person, can’t help thinking along and probing where the ice gets thin. Because we are all just skating on the surface. If I don’t follow you, you might be on one of my lists, where I still 🔭 you.

Reading about this incredible POS and the lack of support from professional services and police makes my anxiety go through the roof. I literally clench my teeth and brace myself, as it reawakens trauma’s from abuse from previous long term relationships. We need to do better in keeping women safe.

I know there’s a lot going on rn in the news but reading about this research made me envy the work of the PhD students involved.

@shannonmattern.bsky.social I have a feeling you would enjoy seeing some of these examples from arguably the largest collection of twin tower paraphernalia on the planet.

The one thing my dog is truly passionate about: napping with abandon. She could sell beds like no other.

A monumental weeping ash in my neighborhood has been given new life support (literally) just in time before the storm could have taken it down. The metal tripod with a brace was custom built. Lovely to see such care for our veteran trees.

Ever tried photographing a bat foraging during twilight?

The repercussions reach much further, I’d wager. Like water levels dropping in rivers like the Rhine, which will impede shipping and trade.

The most magical thing I once saw in the woods was a group of toddlers gathered in a toadstool circle being read to about fairies and gnomes by their kindergarten teachers.

My friends’ baby daughter and my dog have a special friendship. They just naturally gravitate towards each other and it’s the cutest thing to see them interact. I hope the kid will remember this for the rest of her life.

You got the good cargo rack that attaches to the frame, not the front wheel. Only thing missing is a crate on top of it.

Today I thought I saw a trailer parked in a pedestrian area, but then I discovered it was the biggest meanest cargo e-bike I’ve ever seen in 🇳🇱. You don’t want to get hit by this beast.
