  3. Dear UN-Friends of #politics,
    As we may know rules and rulers, are fine in
    #maths and #measuring genitalia. Otherwise they are just a #waste of #misdirection:

    1.
    ​:anarchy:​
    2. power is self-determination
    3. all politicians are
    #redundant

    In other words, for most of us. It just does not work
    #adequately. What are the #alternatives?

    1.
    #Cooperatives of #equals
    2.
    #Local organizations, #shared #effort
    3.
    #Educated plebs

    In other words, if you know who
    #benefits. Sometimes called, 'follow the money', the #trail always leads to #exploitation instead of #sharing. ​:ablobcatcoffee:​

    ...meanwhile: I went for a great walk this
    #morning. About 04.30AM it is already light. #Tooting Common was mostly #deserted and I was able to enjoy the #pond, #wildlife and sounds of the #morning. 🎶

    I had a great
    #breakfast on return. Sat in the #garden before the urbanites emerged to moan about life, the #universe and politicians... ​:ablobcatpopcorn:​

  4. Dear Friends of seven swans, 🦞
    Yesterday the seven
    #signets on #Tooting Common were still #swimming with their parents. #Daddy swan was with the #toughest/largest and the other six were with their #Ma. Will they all make it? Well #nature is tough. Swans are #delicious, like crispy duck no doubt to quite a few felons/predators. As a #commoner and #pleb they are not on my shopping list. ​:ablobcatpopcorn:​

    A flock of swans flying sounds like a UFO or whatever they are called now. UAP? Crop Circus
    #Fakery? #Special #effects of the bird/third kind?

    In the UK, only Q (Queen
    #Camel and guests) are allowed to eat the Royal #Mail, White Swans etc and provide a franchised product #endorsement. Fortnum & #Mason is their #delivery #nub.

    Black swans are rarer and may be exempt from Regal
    #gnashers.

    Some farmers in the UK are
    #rearing #ostriches but that is a #specialty.

    Have a great day. Look around.
    #Sky, #Earth, #Nature. #Changes. ❤️

  5. The recording of the 2024-06-06 bhyve Production User Call is up:

    youtu.be/jCP9L8mBZ9c

    We discussed aarch64 and amd64 boot stages in great detail (and would love to see more highly-verbose system boot documentation), read-only VM boot, PXE VM booting, continued Broadcom NIC issues with and without SR-IOV, a '-f (fib number)' option for ping, FreeBSD build options, 9front as a VM, VM termination options, and more!

    I was on
    #Tooting #common this #morning. Not 'Commons' as the SUV #elites #delight in dividing for their #unthink-tanks to drive through. ​:gi:​

    A group of
    #Wombles from #Wimbledon have planted ye #olde sturdy #oaks from a golf course, also an invasion onto common land. I also noted two #trees broken in two by spoiled #children. In a sense we are all #spoiled and then grow under trees or #daisies. Or on the moon or Mars of the future, in some #extravagant ostentation of irrelevance and #irreverence. Dead is dead. 👻

    Half a tree may grow. Half a planet may
    #survive. Maybe. It is a question of #inevitability Mr Anderson, Nothing Neo under the Sol Matrix, stars or #multiverse... or is there? ​:ablobcatcoffee:​

    Always there is. More. More
    #incomprehensible, more to #wonder. More to do #better. What fun for the #unicorns and trans-rainbows and critters we save. ​:ablobcatbouncefast:​

  9. Dear Friends of Politicians in #hiding and #lurking, ​:ablobcatpopcorn:​

    Living in
    #London, I AM INTERESTED in local non-binary #candidature. Who will be announced by #Wandsworth and #Richmond mega-council sometime today (31 May 2024)?

    I will not be told who to vote for but expect information on them and their policies. I will not be voting for anyone who can not answer some simple
    #questions, for example:

    - Which wars do you support?
    - Who would be your second and third choice if your party was not elected?
    ✔️
    - Who do you feel a vote for is most wasted on (that option might tempt me... wonder where Count
    #Binface is standing) 😆

    Just for context. I do not support any wars. AND every weasel politician supports the 'war on poverty'.
    My party has never been invited to party.

  10. Dear Friends from all #universes, 🦞

    We had a long
    #stroll along the #River #Wandle near #Tooting. We stopped off to check out some #pestle and #mortars for grinding #spices. Also, to buy some #mint #plants and #sage. The #tangerine sage should be fun. It has red flowers. I wonder if it is a communist? The sage is #variegated. The mints are #chocolate #peppermint and another #vigerous grower.

    Loads of
    #butterflies on our #traversing and very pleased to see a #newt (also available as a character). 😮

    Also did some
    #sunbathing in the #morning. Will be #planting my new plants #tomorrow #inshallah (which means COD willing). 🦋

    Was
    #delighted to see the new #Food bus, which as part of #ground #roots #UBI gives free food, to the subjects of Princess Charley (also available as a fragrance). ​:ablobcatpopcorn:​

    #Nature can't live without it, and #living without it is a c#nt. You knew that, right? Most people seem to. 🕊️

    Welcome to
    #May (not Theresa) and her #warmth. ❤️

  11. Dear Friends of the Tooting #Popular #Front, :ablobdancer:

    As you may know, #Tooting has been a hotbed of #alternative politics, since the #Viking Invasion up the Wandle. At the time it was a Tote or lookout #post.

    We are twinned with the Tooting Crater on #Mars. Which will be part of our #interplanetary #future ...

    Here is one of my olde websites (slowly disintegrating into the cyber #cloud ...) 🦞

  12. Dear Friends of #Darkness (my #olde Friend), :_stars:
    There I was after #meditation and a quick #instant coffee, going for a #walk in the #dark. However I live in the former ‘#Brighter Borough’ of #London. Our side #street #LCD street #lighting is 30% #brighter than the rest of London. So it shines. :ablobsunglasses:

    I managed to #head into the darker #parts of #Tooting #Common, where the #path lights are non existent. We have a bit of #moonshine for the #ducks to quack at. I #adjusted to the darkness by #staring into the darkest parts I could #find [#lobster top tip for #developing cats #eyes] :lobster:

    It was wet and #muddy. Glad to report no #miracles happened. #Synchronicity always #attracts #atheist foxes, homeless #ravens and #mindful #mystics on a #vision #quest … :ablobdancer:

  15. Dear Friends of #Urban Ducks,
    This morning, lots of
    #tufted ducks (pic enclosed) on #Tooting Common. A parakeet on the island pond. Cormorants turning over #oak leaves in the pond. Maybe looking for food underneath, or perhaps thinking of becoming vegans? Very warm and #pleasant. Even saw a #bumblebee.

  16. Dear Friends of O and F,
    OFten I
    #wonder about #lives I have not #lived. Always I have #compassion, time and limited #understanding. OF all lives, the #misunderstood are the #hardiest.

    My
    #ease is #priceless, my #difficulties as nothing. It is why I #OFfer the #help I can, not what I can't 😇😈🫶

  17. dear changelings 🫂

    Changed my bio hashtags. Was tempted to include
    #TransQuility and add something to my imp personal interests such as #FreeWater

    Anyway … time for my breakfast:

    - verbal tea, which might end up being green, black or coffee
    🤪
    - raw garlic to suppress my vampire and wer-lobster tendencies
    🧛‍♀️
    - plumb fruity porridge
    🥣
    - stone soup
    🍵
    - left offers
    🤹

    I will not be having cigarettes or beer, because I don't smoke or drink. Might have that with superior smugness
    😌😎🤗

    Have a great day to all Kinds of kind

    J’aime bien #tooting.ch pour sa timeline locale, qui m’est proche par la géographie.

    Mais je ne crois pas trop au principe de la #culpabilité par contact qui est souvent appliqué par la gauche.

    Et c’est cela qui me semble être, en fin de compte, le problème principal de certaines #instance⁠s avec #qoto.org : Non pas ce qui est publié sur qoto.org, mais ce qui peut être lu sur qoto.org.

  19. @ij @ellby94 welcome, Lacey!
    IJ has excellent recs in #hashtags . Also - this page is super helpful : fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-
    It is a long post for sure, but you can scroll through to find the topics you may need. The topics about doing an #introduction and #pinning it, plus #AltText and how and when to use the #CW feature were very helpful for me because it it definitely different than the #Birdsite. I #Bookmarked the page to refer to whenever I have a question.
    Happy #Tooting!

  25. I believe an #introduction is in order.

    I do #publichealth and #research. Specifically #ruralhealth. More specifically #HIV and #HCV. I left the other place some time ago for a mental health break.

    I'm also a doctoral student and #skeptic, I love #running and #cooking and I have no time for #misinformation or #pseudoscience.

    #Tooting to you from southwest Virginia, United States.

  26. When you’ve had your social media accounts for over a decade and suddenly have to start from scratch but you’re an adult now so you eagerly and unabashedly toot your way into other peoples feeds, self-promote, and seek out those with aligning values and interests. Basically, we’re all about to learn how good (or bad) we are at networking.
