Both of these are Hampshire Gates.

*browsing image search results for "Hampshire gate"*
me: pppft that's not a Hampshire Gate, that's a Dorset Gate!

Get you and your gate snobbery.

"The term kissing gate appears in English from at least the 19th century. The most widely accepted explanation derives from the older meaning of the verb to kiss, meaning to touch lightly or closely"

some of the kissing gates I've enjoyed are definitely more smooching gates because those things are anything but gentle and quiet.

⚠️ Do not move your account to mastodon.cloud. If you know someone already on mastodon.cloud you might want to suggest they move to a different server.

-Mastodon.cloud's admin hasn't posted since Feb 2023
-There doesn't seem to be any moderation, really awful bigotry is still there months after being reported
-The server software is very outdated and full of unpatched security holes
-Because of all the above, many other servers have defederated mastodon.cloud

tumblewalk

whether the earth turns
or the sky above
moves for them
little matters to most

but at least the first
far star as our star fades
seen on our rocky walk
cuts the bright noise of day
with its own
little whole of light
in the great roll around us

@mirlo I am a trans artist on Mirlo! One may even have guessed that thanks to the album pair of “transitions” and “deadnames” https://mirlo.space/sockpuppet

There are so many people in this band! You wouldn't believe how many if we told you. That's why we always have so many different styles and genres of music. Try to figure out who is who!

Today I traced my finger across the lifetime of an old, sleepy tree. Year after year of colder temperatures ringed tightly together amidst bursts of plenty. Did it mind the leaner times, relish the fattening of gentle years? Were they felt as a whole, eventually evening out as the way of things?
