Some of my neighbors bring me citrus and herbs they grow in their yards. I'm now able to return the favor since I started growing dill, cilantro, sage, rosemary. I might even have some figs, ginger and tomatoes to share. This sort of thing that makes a neighborhood better.

When I landed on Mastodon, I didn't share other people's messages so much. Coming from Twitter, I was used to curate my own content and be restrictive about sharing, to avoid flooding my followers.
The absence of algorithm here led me to revise this "editorial approach" - now I share a lot more. I do hope that a future Masto update will bring a way to isolate my own posts, but in the meantime, sharing is the most powerful tool I have to add visibility to messages and people.
Sharing is caring.

Oriental Pied-Hornbill
A small black-and-white hornbill with a whitish-yellow bill and “helmet.” Primarily black, but with a white belly, facial patch, and wing and tail edges. Sexes are similar, but males have a much larger “helmet” than the female. More tolerant of human habitation than other hornbills and can sometimes be found in large city parks as well as open forests and edges. Noisy and social, often giving loud yapping calls to flockmates.

On Halloween 2024, a beautiful cat appeared in my garden. She came every day, was unchipped, & was so very nice that I named her Mabel (from the Latin "amabilis" = lovable).
On 09.01. 2025, she gave birth to 2 boys & 2 girls.
I named them:
Lua - for a Roman war goddess to whom soldiers dedicated their captured weapons.
Artemis (Arti) - Greek goddess of the hunt.
Gylfi - an ancient King of Sweden in Norse Mythology.
Sophokles (Sopho) - my favourite Greek tragedian.
That's all.

Oh! Interesting. I actually have no idea (English isn't my first language either lol)
Do you dislike the name Gylfi? 
Oh man NOW I get it!
Mythological king Gylfi got betrayed... I've heard men have that issue with zippers sometimes too 😎

Jane Austen Used Pins to Edit Her Manuscripts: Before the Word Processor & White-Out
openculture.com/2025/02/jane-a…
Before the word processor, before White-Out, before Post-It Notes, there were straight pins. Or, at least that's what Jane Austen used to make edits in one of her rare manuscripts.OC (Openculture.com)

@Printdevil I'm filling in a bit here, but I'm imagining your mental processes were something like this:
Watching Miss Austen, the scene where she writes "Finis" at the end of her flawless manuscript that she has completed in one draft:
Thinks: *That's* not what happened.
To the Internet!
It's weird how the picture with pins has all those dates… but they are not sequential? And then when you go to the article showing the written manuscripts there's no pins and the edits are just done by writing in between the lines. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It was fun to look up “iron-gall ink" and that it still can be bought today!
