Here's a link to an interesting #XKCD #comic showing the timeline of #temperature changes on #earth! A very useful resource to share with people who dismiss today's #ClimateChange by saying "the #climate has changed before". https://xkcd.com/1732/

Herrnstein Castle in the municipality of Ruppichteroth (Rhein-Sieg-Kreis) dates back to a simple fortified house built around 1300. In the course of time, it was rebuilt into a castle and received its current appearance in the 19th century.
Since 1436, the estate has been owned by the Lords (later: Counts) of Nesselrode.

At #SundayBrunch:

Me:...and then we saw a peacock!

Bestie: Oh, you met George!

Me: What.

Bestie: George. He lives in the neighborhood now -- by Trader Joe's. The neighborhood news is that he used to live in Emeryville.

Me: Uh huh...

Bestie: But the fireworks on the 4th of July must have freaked him out. Because right after that he showed up here.

Me: What??

Bestie: Oh, yes. So he lives here now, and he roosts in a tree on that street. Around 8 pm every night, he climbs into a tree and all the neighbors watch him.

Me: He just...ascends.

Bestie: [eating her bagel] That's what they do.

It is so weird to be in your 30s and still be staring at sentences to figure out if the conjunction you want is "and" or "but".

You would think this would be straightforward, and/but it happens all the time.

Years ago some little punk thought it was a sick burn to say to me ‘You probably hang out with your friends making PUNS all weekend!’ Why yes, Dino, that’s exactly what I do lol

they keep telling us that we just need to understand the fascists.

the bad news is

we do understand them. Oh yes we do.

Quarterly global solar installations appear to be growing at 50% per annum over the past three years." Also, China's first half 2023 solar build jumped 154% compared to H1 2022! World may add about 390 GW of solar in 2023.

The #ClimateProgress the U.S. has made because enough Americans voted for Biden will be causing our 8% share of this graph to soon increase thankfully too!

We can't (and shouldn't) bring back the old, good internet.

We can (and must!) make a NEW, good internet.

That's about it. Allows for the saving of old comments, pictures, data etc. I use it as a timeline reference that I can reflect on for writing or artwork.

I have this same fear of loss. So much amazing content on #mastodon

Allow me to suggest using favorites and bookmarks as a way to "follow up" on things during holiday or other downtime.

I tend to carry thousands of favorites.

Thank you, Kristen Clarke. Good to have the DOJ taking action against racist school systems, again

A preoccupation with the next world clearly shows an inability to cope credibly with this one.
