All buses should have a deep bucket of water next to the driver's cab. Passengers should be empowered to drop the phones of users playing music or taking calls without headphones into the bucket.
Odin's grandhumans are in town today and brought him a squeaky rubber chicken. Fortunately for our sanity, he seems to consider squeaking a toy to be a failure state to be avoided, so he holds them gently. #dog #dogs #dogsofmastodon

The huge carpenter bees in the garden (genus Xylocopa) continue to fascinate me, & this is one of my favourite pictures to date 🙂👍

@ireneista @alexskunz hidden text: “In Connor's second thesis it is stated
'There is no fate but what we make for ourselves! Does the routine destroy our creativity or do we lose creativity and fall into the routine?
Anyway, who's up for a road trip!”
@ireneista @alexskunz
That's a nice dream. It would be a shame if cisheteropastriarchal expectations…oh, oh no
@alexskunz I wish Randall annoyed the crap out of me less. He did do a couple that are close to my heart, like "Engineering Hubris".
@alexskunz Ah yes, democracy, famously without censorship.
@alexskunz I am eloquently now PRO Democracy, PRO Trans, PRO LGBT, PRO Immigrantion, ANTI Fascist, Anti Orban, Anti LePen, Anti Wagenkneckt, Anti Hoecke, Anti Weidel, Anti Schwarzer, Anti Merz, Anti Poullievre, Anti Trump, most importantly Anti USA, I will write that proudly and not take care about fascist tears and feelings.

Okay, yes. But, hear me out: exhaustion....

@alexskunz brings to mind this old quote:

“The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living”—Buckminster Fuller

@alexskunz what's the date of it? The site doesn't tell.
@Bananaft it does. Go to https://xkcd.com/archive/ and hover your mouse over the title.
