If i was to come back i definitely want to come back as a #bee in Australia   it's in the middle of winter and there's always flowers blooming somewhere 🌞🐝 #myfriendsgarden #bloomscrolling
@feather1952 And in beautiful surroundings too. I've been feeling so meh lately, it was great to get out in the sunshine and hang out together and feel positive about stuff 🥰

So often I don't go to the beach on the weekend, and there isn't really a reason? Like, it's not far and for the most part I could definitely go and spend and hour or two there, even when I'm busy.

Then today! Today I went and it was amazing – what was I expecting, though, really? It's the beach. Kid3 and Kid4 went swimming because young people do not care about their kidneys, and I sat in the sun and edited a manuscript. Then we bought chips and hot chocolate and said hello to dogs and walked along the beach.

10/10 would go again (and almost certainly will)

Beautiful show by nature this evening.

@evacide here is my delightful feline friend, who I'm taking care of for another month or so.

Thanks for doing jury duty on a horrible case.

@evacide “to keep your coffee warm, daddy!”
@evacide the doggos are always good #DogsOfMastodon

@evacide

Our NGO is stopping the cycle of domestic violence. We teach adolescents about healthy relationships through free prosocial video games. Over a million helped so far. It is making a difference.

@evacide Just found a new species of in insect in the yard we garden to support native insects. Had a great day with friends and neighbors and a fellow running for city council who I'm super excited about. The sunset is real pretty right now.

Be well. <3

@violetblue Got that one on my wall too... 🤩

@violetblue Actually, it was high time to let her know some people will remember her for this. 🤩

The relevant email address was of course not very hard to find:

@violetblue Very nice print and framing!
@violetblue I had been obsessed with the haka for the past two days and this one has been my favorite :)
@violetblue What is the content of the piece of paper being torn up?
Lawmakers use haka to protest in New Zealand's parliament

YouTube
Maori lawmakers suspended over protest haka performed in New Zealand Parliament

Three Māori lawmakers in New Zealand received record suspensions of up to three weeks Thursday over a protest haka they performed against a contentious bill in Parliament last year.

NBC News
@violetblue idk what the purpose of that haka is. Is it to scare people? How are people gonna be scared when they know you are all talk and no action?
Haka is in essence, people just screaming at the top of their lungs, nothing else.
Why would that terrify anyone?
