Saw this bumper sticker. If every human being obliged this sentiment, the world would level up to infinity.

#Kindness #DoBetter #BeGood

In a moment where machines churn out mediocrity, make something yourself. Make it imperfect. Make it rough. Just make it.

Can we please normalize hobbies NOT being all about racing to get the best gear possible like good, obedient consumers? Can we not just enjoy hobbies out of genuine interest and passion, trying to get the most out of the gear we already have or can reasonably afford?

Y. E. S.

I love being interested in a l o t of things, but I don’t need to be a slavish consumer fanatic.

I like reuse/recycle, come late to trends, benefit from depreciation.

Bark!

I pay for news both across mainstream media and on sites like ghost. I subscribe to two dozen magazines and nearly twice as many newsletters. With few exceptions (<cough> WaPo) I am happy to pay for content

That said, @GiftArticles is one of my favorite Mastodon accounts, and I'm surprised by how few followers it has

I follow it not for the free content, but rather because it serves as a curated newsfeed for what other people find worth sharing

Maybe you'd like it, too

@catsalad Honestly, I was looking around the picture for a pun of some sort.
@T2R @catsalad Me too. Because I actually thought it was bread for a sec
@hosford42 @catsalad son of a gun. Just zoomed in. Damnit.
@T2R @hosford42 @catsalad I learned it from the alt text, which I looked at because I wanted to know details about how to sunbake a baguette. 😹
@superball @hosford42 @catsalad this is how I know I need a new optical prescription.
@hosford42 @T2R @catsalad Consider the source. Always consider the source. (Meow.)
@dpnash @T2R @catsalad I did, but my eyes did not. lol

@catsalad Looks like a catguette.

No, wait, I can do better.

This would make a great fur-long sandwich.

@distrowatch @catsalad Looks more like a bacatte to me

@catsalad reminds me of the #CatBreadLoaf account before #Shitter went full shite.

Also #cats "#loafing" is a sign of #trust and #safety: they ain't in need to get up and running on a moments notice...

@catsalad Ha, I was fooled and clicked on the photo hoping for some food porn- I’m hungry. But cute cat pics beat food pics, even when hungry.
100R — cooking

@xyhhx Neat! I've made sun tea and cooked a fried egg on rock, but never bread. 🌞
@catsalad @xyhhx solar bread is nice! We'll shove anything we can think of in the solar stove and see what turns up, coffee came out really nice 🌻

That'd go well with a bit of marmalade!

@catsalad I thought it was bread at first!
