I am a caregiver in East Texas living a rather isolated life, so for now the fediverse is my window to humanity. If you want someone to chat with, feel free to reach out to me because I do enjoy spontaneous conversations. I love technology and making things by hand. I care deeply about humanity and the environment. I especially love learning about different cultures and cuisines, so I tend to follow accounts from all over the world that I come across just so I can learn more about people everywhere.

@ClimateJenny @w7voa The National Weather service has been doing upgrades that require taking their radios temporarily offline recently. I looked it up and the DC area is scheduled to be out June 10-June 12. partnerservices.nws.noaa.gov/products/a34da5f6895d4a435e86162e3e33840a

Important question for Sharkey Admins

Hi all! If you own or administrate a Sharkey instance, then I've got an important question for you. Over the last two weeks, have you experienced any unexpected crashes or restarts accompanied by a log message reading: [core] The process is going to exit with code 0?

If so, then please reach out! We're investigating a possible bug that none of our development team can reproduce. It would help us greatly if you could answer the poll below, even/especially if you haven't experienced a crash!

Boosts would be greatly appreciated, and thanks so much in advance! ​​

@sarajw He does the craziest piano modifications, but I definitely never expected one like this. I love the accent too.

Hey Mastodon let’s have a shot at this #introduction thing

My name is Dale, I’m a landscape #photographer from the East Coast of Australia

I mainly capture #nature & #landscape images from the Aussie Alps (yep it's a thing) & New Zealand - I love a good adventure & half the fun of what I do is working out how to get to & survive being in the middle of nowhere

Here are a few of my fav pics taken over the last couple of years...

Cheers!

@dalegphoto I had no idea Australia has its own alps. Your photographs are mesmerizing, they look like a fantasy.

Every once in a while the planets align, the cell phone cooperates, and the colors show pretty true to life.... voila... a goodnight #sunset from the #Arizona high desert! 😎

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore I once found myself in a Wikipedia rabbit hole that passed through the Wild Hunt and led on to Perchta who I was unfamiliar with. The punishments around spinning can be quite severe! Kids would have their bellies cut open by Perchta and stuffed with straw and rocks if they didn’t spin all their flax and wool which is way more harsh than Santa bringing a lump of coal instead of a toy if you’ve been bad. It’s such a fascinating peek at an aspect of life before fast fashion existed, you had to make your own thread and finish the work in time or risk major consequences! I’ve been intrigued by stories about spinning ever since learning about Perchta, it was fun to read about the Devil taking over the work here.
