What kindness have you seen in your local community lately?
“Local children have put chalk games all over a large tarmac area for other kids to play. It’s such a lovely kind act on the part of the kids, and presumably the parents. It seems like they put a lot of work into it.”
it's been quite a while, so lemme write a new #intro
i'm raven, a silly #transgirl on the internet who likes to write, and create free-to-use #photography (mostly landscapes). u can find me on mastodon, and see what an overview of what i’m up to on my now page. i have so many interests and try my best to experience new things in this short life. some sort of neurospicy, tend to be overly genuine, a bit corny, over-opinionated at times

“very direct and able to be vulnerable very easily (a good thing!) and the most ethically-minded and community-focused person ive met!”

When each season shifts, Sara Yahia clears out her home and passes on her old clothes, unused appliances, and furniture after cleaning them.
Some notable rehomed items are dishes and lamps to a college student, a stroller to a single mother left anonymously on her porch, and clothes for someone starting fresh.

Just recovered from the intensively fun #EuroPython last week, and every time it gave me warmth from the #Python #community and kept me motivated to contribute. Here is a short recap from my perspective: https://cheuk.dev/posts/2025-07-24-europython25-recap/

"Our deck of cards is stacked (in terms of history, resources, trends, and personalities) toward conflict. But we can minimize the bloodshed..."

"It’s not so easy to say, “Don’t fight,” when something apparently needs to be done to protect people you care about from an imminent threat...thanks to... religion, money, trade, and political ideologies...all provide justifications for organized mayhem."
Crawling in cold water in small spaces to study biodiversity. Yeah, it is pretty fun!
Earlier this week we helped some freshly graduated from college folk get footage underground for their film projects. Enjoying science and art, they are entering science communication by working in visual arts. Some were getting video for a project on salamanders of the region, and another was there for groundwater. Salamanders are charismatic, a wonderful choice. Groundwater is often ignored, but so important, showcasing it in a fun and engaging way will help people care about it.
The kids are okay.

Curating content isn't always simple.
Thankfully, we've already done it the hard way so now, you don't have to!
Using Channel.org, you can build your Channel around whatever you want whilst setting up parameters to ensure that only the content you care about is picked up.
That means 'Football' can mean whatever you want it to... 
Not social media, we need tools.
"In many ways, X is the mirror image of America — a capitalist empire felled by racism, white mediocrity and the hubris of its own infallibility. But unlike the billionaire capitalists who believe money can purchase presidents, influence and immortality, Black people are keenly aware of one great immutable truth:
Everything dies. Nothing is forever."

I was looking into rustfs as a potential replacement for our current Minio setup, but then I stumbled upon this. Criticizing other open-source solutions without valid arguments isn't helpful for the community.
And it doesn't inspire much trust in your project, even if it's great.
