In case there's any doubt about my commitment to biking, my errand today would have been 6 miles round trip by car but was 12.5 miles by bike bc the most direct route was not safe for cyclists.

BTW plastic milk crates & bungee cords are a great combination for hauling stuff when on 2 wheels.

Hokusai’s Iconic Print, “The Great Wave off Kanagawa,” Recreated with 50,000 LEGO Bricks

For those with the time, skill, and drive, LEGO is the perfect medium for wildly impressive recreations of iconic structures, like the Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, the Titanic and now the Roman Colosseum. But water? A wave?

Wow! Once in a lifetime shot!

This amazing image of a meteor was captured by Jonathan Eggleston in West Virgina, USA, during the recent lunar eclipse.

Tip for newbies: filling in the text description for pics posted is, I have learned, really appreciated. There’s a sizeable community of the visually impaired over here and doing it means they’re not excluded. Also, it’s fun to do. If you’re on your phone, tap on the pic and start typing. (I didn’t realise I could go that) On the desktop app you’re given a prompt. It’s super easy.
honestly Jupiter same

I’m going to be in Porto, Portugal this January for 6 weeks of immersive language study. I’ve visited a few times, but never for this long.
What do I need to know? Thanks for all comments, suggestions, warnings & words of wisdom.

It's much cheaper and easier than you think to start your own server on here.

If you use "managed hosting", it means the hosting company does all the techy stuff like installation, upgrades and maintenance.

The cheapest Mastodon server through managed hosting costs around 8 US dollars a month.

I've done a website all about using managed hosting at:

...and here's a long article about making your own Mastodon server:
