That’s it now. This is the bit I love; the rush stops, the city-sounds quieten to a murmur, feet up & fire on…

Wishing you all a Happy Christmas!

#Dublin #Ireland #MerryChristmas

I have just learned that I have been laid off, three days before Christmas.

I have a lot of emotions right now, but instead of airing those out I'm focusing in a more positive direction. I am looking for a full-stack engineer or back-end/front-end developer position in the information security space. I am proficient in Python, JavaScript (React, Node, Express mainly) and am getting proficient in Rust. I have my GIAC Reverse Engineering Malware (GREM) certification and am comfortable in a systems engineering role with Rust or C/C++ as well.

Contract work welcome, full-time employment preferred. Appreciate the support and hope your holidays are off to a better start than mine!

Dew laced cobweb, Camden Harbor, Maine (Oct., 2015).

This year, scientists at RBG Kew described a new species of flower, Victoria boliviana, or the giant Bolivian water lily. Its leaves can grow to a staggering length of 3.3 meters across (over 10 feet). Kew researchers observed it in the wild & confirmed its status with DNA. But a dried specimen turned up in Kew's collection, where it had been sitting over 170 years. More here: https://www.kew.org/read-and-watch/top-10-species-2022

Things that you accidentally teach your dog. This is Gibbs and his towel. He would like to trade it for a treat. This is always successful.

@WeirdoCatLover This graphic makes me cry every time I see it. I've only ever had black cats and I think they're hands down the very best.

Today I picked up my foster black cat that the shelter named Kathy. Kathy is sadly FelV+. It makes me cry that nobody wanted her. She's a cuddlebug and an absolute sweetheart. The shelter is going to take care of her medical needs and I am going to take care of her dietary needs. She was so happy to be leaving the shelter that she scampered into her carrier and she made herself right at home on my bed and was fast asleep and her paws were twitching within minutes. Poor loveable Kathy.

💜 hi, I’m Kk (they/them). I’m 28 #queer , #mixed , #neurodivergent , and I love #nature . I work in the realm of connecting folks of all backgrounds to outdoor recreation, and redefining what it means to be outdoorsy.

Picture description: Kk stands in the middle of a field wearing a black shirt and black shorts. They have a black bucket hat on, and a full backpacking pack on their back, which is teal in color. They are holding up peace signs with their fingers.

Decided to join in on today's #SillyCuratorPrompts

I wasn't sure how one celebrates the solstice, but I figure it involves light somehow. So here's a little hedgehog (no reference!) enjoying the light of a candle. 🕯️🦔

Draw a hedgehog celebrating solstice!

For extra silliness, if you don't have aphantasia, don't use reference images :D

No drawing skill necessary, do your worst. The point is to have fun and do something creative ^.^ Participate from any instance!

Please include alt-text in your images, it's important for accessibility - https://mastodon.art/@Curator/109279035107793247 - or if you're low on spoons, ask people to describe for you in the replies ^.^

I really love working with them. It's mainly what I do when I'm not working on Pepper&Carrot.

Their yearly funding campaign (at 78% while I'm writing this) ends in less than 10 days, please help them if you can 💜 https://soutenir.framasoft.org (the page is translated)

Comrades, if you’re able, please help our unhoused neighbors in #Minneapolis. We are in a deep cold patch (air temp & windchills below 0F) w/blizzard forecast for next 2-3 days. Our soul-less smug piece of shit mayor has destroyed encampments, displacing many during this time the NWS has called life-threatening conditions. Here’s a link where you can help. 🙏🏻

Wishing a happy #Solstice to you all.

To those in the North, where the dark of the year is at its deepest, and its time celebrate the returning of the light (in a couple of hours time, as the sun won't rise til after 9am today). #WinterSolstice

And a happy #Midsummer to those in the South. Enjoy the longest light-filled day as our world tilts around its axis.
