Books, plants, cats, fiber arts, introvert, former homeschool mom. I saw a bio in which someone claimed to channel trees, and that's pretty much my dream job.

Okay folks it’s hot out there so we need to talk about #bees and #water.

Please #repost and #share for impact.
Thanks!

BEES NEED WATER!
BEES GET STUCK IN AND DIE IN WATER!

12 Reasons Why Reading Books Should Be Part of Your Life:

1. Knowledge Highway: Books offer a vast reservoir of knowledge on virtually any topic imaginable. Dive deep into history, science, philosophy, or explore new hobbies and interests.

2. Enhanced Vocabulary: Regular reading exposes you to a wider range of vocabulary, improving your communication skills and comprehension.

3. Memory Boost: Studies suggest that reading can help sharpen your memory and cognitive function, keeping your mind active and engaged.

4. Stress Reduction: Curling up with a good book can be a form of mental escape, offering a temporary reprieve from daily anxieties and a chance to unwind.

5. Improved Focus and Concentration: In today’s fast-paced world filled with distractions, reading strengthens your ability to focus and concentrate for extended periods.

6. Empathy and Perspective: Stepping into the shoes of fictional characters allows you to develop empathy and gain a deeper understanding of different perspectives.

7. Enhanced Creativity: Reading exposes you to new ideas and thought processes, potentially sparking your own creativity and problem-solving skills.

8. Stronger Writing Skills: Immersing yourself in well-written prose can improve your writing style, sentence structure, and overall communication clarity.

9. Improved Sleep Quality: Swap screen time for a book before bed. The calming nature of reading can help you relax and unwind, promoting better sleep quality.

10. A Portal to New Worlds: Books transport you to different times, places, and realities. Experience thrilling adventures, historical events, or fantastical journeys from the comfort of your armchair.

11. Lifelong Learning: Reading is a journey of continuous learning and self-discovery. There’s always something new to learn, regardless of your age or interests.

12. Conversation Starter: Books provide a treasure trove of topics for conversation, fostering connections and enriching discussions with others.

Hello! We are a small independent bookshop in Stow, in the Scottish Borders. We are no longer using Twitter, for obvious reasons, but could use some new followers on Mastodon and other social media channels - where our presence is smaller than on Twitter. Please help / share this is you can! Thank you.
This is the most amazing interactive map I have come across lately. The interface is simple. Put in a city and see what other place it will be most like in climate in 60 years, when today's children will be seniors, at current rates of carbon burning. The results are shocking - completely different biomes. Then you can compare that with what happens if we reduce emissions. https://fitzlab.shinyapps.io/cityapp

Just realised that on Mastodon, boosting *is* the algorithm.

There's no code trying to cleverly show me stuff it reckons I'd be into, based on what my contacts are into, instead my contacts are saying "I like this, I bet my contacts would like it too" and that is way smarter than any algorithm.

Thank you, boosters!

Just wondering if you start reading a book you don't like, do you stick with it or do you quit and move onto something new?

#Boosts appreciated. It's for an article I'm working on. 💪

I am blocking anyone that continues to fall for the GOP PSYOP...
I can't believe that people haven't figured out what they tried to do.
You cannot replace a candidate at this point , it would be beyond stupid to even consider it.
So anyone suggesting replacements... BYE
