I’ve just bought some FFP2 masks. The young pharmacist checked twice to make sure they weren’t black (that colour doesn't suit me).

She: 'We’d been sent too many black ones.'
Me: ‘They’re ideal for demonstrations!’

The look on her face was priceless! 🤣

I like the #medialiteracy of many people on Mastodon. The bot of a reputable person. But she posted pure #AISlop in a political context, a #fake. People in the comments analyse it and say it clearly for other users: If you are reputable, it's even a bigger no go to post or boost #fakenews and #fakePhotos! AI messages are dangerous, they destroy trust.
Never boost such slop, even not from famous persons. Stay critical. Check facts! (Read the comments there for info.) 1/2

1/2 Ich wurde vor einem Tag auf Mastodon übelst beschimpft, weil ich als Journalistin die Sachfrage gestellt habe, ob es irgendwo einen seriösen Beweis gäbe, dass dank des Angriffes auf russische Datenzentren Af.D-Propaganda massiv zurückgegangen sei. Zu dem Zeitpunkt fand ich nur Gerüchte auf großen Plattformen, die sich diese schönredeten, einen Redditbeitrag, eine zweifelhafte Grafik.
Dafür, dass ich da genauer hinschauen mag, wurde ich als Kremlin-hörig u.ä. beschimpft. Aber das ist mein

Question to #quilters and people with experience in framing #embroidery: I want to put this embroidery a bit upholstered into that box. Not flat, a little more "3D".
Can I use simple cosmetic cotton for #upholstery ? Or should I use another material for eternity? 🤭 Cotton is what I have in the house ... is it stable for a longer time?

Wer Rechtsextreme wählt, ist rechtsextrem. Punkt.

Spart euch all die Entschuldigungen.

I just got a shock. I want the old design back!!! 😭
It was a matter of seconds, and the Design of #Mastodon changed.

Usually, I have nothing against design changes. But if it hits me so unprepared that I think my browser has a bug ...
A real bug is that I have to make an extra click for writing a post now and get a much too small pop up field down at the right (not at eye's height)! I have to search for notifications ... it's less intuitive than before.

Crazy feeling on a first #October day. After a night with 19.5°C (normal for the hottest August nights), the rain from the weather forecast didn't come. We wait for so many weeks already!

Only three drops. A beginning idea of petrichor smells like dead animals. They die because of the horrible drought. Up from tomorrow, a new rainless week with "moderate summer". I've lost the feeling for seasons and the month. It feels like July.
Turn sound on!
