Dora decided, long ago, that if humans groom in the shower, she should too. #Cats #CatsOfMastodon #gatos

I have been playing with form, building by hand from pinchpot and combining glazes a little #ceramics #Pottery

To my northern neighbours suffering from the current heat wave.

I lived in approx 38C with 90% humidity for 20 years, and I have a few pieces of advice.

1. Don't do anything fast that you can do slow.
2. Umbrellas aren't just for rain. They work for sun, too.
3. Sweat is your friend. Drink lots of liquid, eat and drink things that trigger sweating.

4. Cold showers and baths trigger your body to warm up. Room temp showers work best - and don't bother drying off.

I'm so fucking tired of hearing these murderous bastards say that the people they killed 'were not targets', as if that is a coherent statement.

When you drop bombs, you've targeted. Period. You are responsible for what you destroy. Period.

This might not look like innovation, but it is.

In a marriage of old and new, in the interior of the province, they've found a really good solution to protect sheep from the soaring temperatures.

They're grazed under the solar panels. The scrub they consume keeps down wildfire risk as well. #solar #renewables

I am appealing to the vast collective knowledge of Mastodon - Lemon Tree advice

I have a little lemon tree in a large pot on my roof. I have noticed that little branches with leaves are sprouting all the way up the central trunk.

Is this okay - should I cut them away?

What I notice most about people who defend the use of AI is that it is much like people defending a continued presence on X.

They defend it because they like what it does FOR THEM, and put their own needs above the welfare of the rest of humanity.

And that is fucking unforgivable.
