‘Rustle in Feilding’ – Cat mural by SwiftMantis at Manawatū Street Art Festival in Manawatu-Wanganui, New Zealand.

A hyper-realistic mural of a long-haired cat with green eyes painted by SwiftMantis in Feilding, New Zealand. The artwork, titled Rustle in Feilding, shows the cat’s paw extending beyond the frame, creating a 3D illusion against the white wall of a building. The detailed fur and vibrant colors were created for the Manawatū Street Art Festival in Manawatu-Wanganui, New Zealand.

Trump winning a Nobel Peace Prize would be like giving a serial killer who targets boaters on the high seas a peace prize.

Went in somewhat earlier than usual - bus to workplace was empty.

Empty seats on a bus in front of me. On the back of the seat in front, handwritten text with black marker on the grey plastic reads:

Attached: 1 image I'm starting a massive project in Libreboot, whose goal is literally to add every single Chromebook ever manufactured, to Libreboot. This includes more ARM models, but also the x86 models. I'm systematically analysing and adapting various ports from MrChromebox, for Libreboot. I'm purchasing a bunch of them myself, but: If you have a Chromebook, that you don't need anymore, I'd be happy if you could donate it to the Libreboot project. Send me an email to [email protected] Gotta port 'em all.

Personally I find it truly amazing to create something and just give it away for free, even better if I can also share the source for that given product

I guess it’s the best way to give a massive f-you against big corpo’s on this planet. Not only do you tell people not to use corporate greed […]

@David I see what you mean. It didn’t take me many clicks to find your name, and I haven’t as yet found an email address, which might suggest something scraping and collating details to spam you. I have no doubt that the website is about art, but nothing immediately suggests that you are an […]

Around 1 in 4 children in Scotland are living in poverty.

Poverty remains far too high, and people are feeling overlooked and ignored by politicians.

The next Scottish Parliament is an opportunity to build a better future for all children in Scotland. 🔽 1/4

I love the seemingly random coincidence of the fediverse sometimes. #plover #clover #inane #photography

Screen grab of users timeline, covering 2 toots. The first references a photo of a semipalmated plover, the second a photo of a clover flower.

If new people are coming go check out those #introduction posts and do some boosting. We need to build an ever wider, more inclusive network.

If there's something that sets the fediverse apart is that we can build authentic social relationships here. This isn't just a surrogate of old media […]
