@benroyce And as a German, I would like to add: Even in Nazi Germany we had resisting people when Hitler was already in power. The fact that some assassination attempts unfortunately failed does not mean that they were not attempted. The fact that people hid those who were being persecuted at the risk of their own lives does not mean that they did not do so. But the fact that at some point the Nazis gained the upper hand and the majority and murdered people in the

Over the weekend, 17,000 people canceled their #WorldCup tickets@benroyce As I get it here in France and in our neighbourhood in Germany, even tourists are warned that they could get detained at the entry to the USA (it happened already too often). Tourist numbers to the USA already fell quite low - the only people doing the flight are the ones with family in the USA or working or not afraid of dangers ... and the ones who would pay for sport tickets in every dictatorship of the world.

I have a basket called "my mobile embroidery studio" and an old bag containing my #crochet material for joining our real-life "Needle Club".
But I have a problem: I don't show it in social media to get thousands of followers, I keep it real-life! It's funny how these influencers go screen with screen-detox. 🤪

"Death and taxes are supposed to be the things we can depend on in this life.""Death and taxes are supposed to be the things we can depend on in this life." This article intro is brillant. Because the article shows that all that hype about #ColossalBiosciences and it's "de-extinction" is gambling for money and personal fame, not for nature: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/dec/31/colossal-ben-lamm-deextinction-dire-wolf-dodo-tasmanian-tiger-aoe

Witchcraft.😮@LateNite I once had my favourite sweater eaten by moths. After cleaning, I closed the holes by #VisibleMending which is easier because everybody can do it without knowing techniques. I used coloured silk patches and "wild" #embroidery ... and even embroidered some #moths flying between the holes. 😁

Stolen from @futurebird - "To create utopias you must first imagine them."@futurebird oh yes. In Europe, especially the Italian and French cartoonists of Donald Duck are legendary ... (I have no idea, if the American version of these books changed like this, we have nearly no American stories included).

Stolen from @futurebird - "To create utopias you must first imagine them."@EricLawton would ruin the world and that he has to act differently. Best teachers: his nephews.
In the title story above e.g., Scrooge dreams to change every tree into a dollar-growing tree. Only Donald and the nephews see that would destroy nature. They fight, and when the trees of greed nearly destroy Scrooge, he has to learn ...

Stolen from @futurebird - "To create utopias you must first imagine them."@EricLawton I'm sitting in the picture above (only with central heating), reading the stories about Donald Duck (since my childhood).
In Europe, they are published under licence by different publishers and have changed very much. Donald is still the role model of kindness, love, and curiosity, of course still clumsy.
But the topics have much to do with greed, climate, and environment. Even Scrooge has changed: he has to learn that his behaviour -
Art projects don't always go as planned--especially PRINTMAKING projects.@kenSwinson I am stunned how much you can tell by images and words in only one minute! Great.
And I like your way of showing that art means working with failures, learning from imperfections, and also joy (and happy piggies). BTW, they are so cute! 😍 -
@Edent what's so bad about <div> ... or: Why do you want to avoid them?@Edent Long ago that I read it - but as every great work of SciFi his story was influenced by problems of his time and even history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(novel)#Origins

Oh we have the same wish!@leanderlindahl Did it: "I expect all EU institutions to become independent of US platforms controlled by fascists, which constantly violate European rules. That's why I find it painful when X is still being advertised here under social media! Instead, you have a Mastodon account (a decentralised, algorithm-free, democracy-promoting alternative) and are keeping it secret here! So that no one discovers you there?

Anyone who has ever eaten in France knows how a real garlic butter sauce smells.Anyone who has ever eaten in France knows how a real garlic butter sauce smells. 🧄 🐌
And that's exactly how our village centre smelled today, and the scent crept through the ventilation system into the car. It has never been so difficult to cross the main intersection. By the time I reached my destination, my stomach was hanging at my knees growling with appetite.
Note to me: use a lot of garlic today. -

#FindTheColour for @louisa_1. #Pink and #Purple come from nurseries now: pansies, horn violets, or cyclamen can bloom in winter.
2. #VisibleMending isn't only for #repair: you can embellish boring fabrics daring with #colours. If that's too much, a scarf with lots of colourful patches adds a great fresh accent to black or white.

I just received the photos from the space station and edited them. Now it's time to start working on the reportage about the distant planet and its fascinating ecosystem. There are even artefacts from living beings to be seen! 🤩
