'Das kann weg'/'This can go'
Eine Spezialfirma fällt eine über 100 Jahre alte #Atlaszeder in einem #Garten. Später stellt sich heraus, der #Baum war gesund, die Besitzerin hatte nur die Nase voll vom "Dreck", den so ein Stück Natur macht.
A specialised company fells an over 100-year-old Atlas #cedar tree in a #garden. It later turns out that the #tree was healthy, the owner was just fed up with the ‘dirt’ that such a piece of nature makes.
I planted this #Tulip poplar - our state tree in #Tennessee - when it was a free #ArborDay sapling about 25 years ago. Soon, it will be full of these always surprising blooms!
For many reasons, this week has been especially unpleasant for me; I'd like to recover some of the feeling of living in a universe that's capable of ✨Beauty✨ (the capital/emojis aren't necessary, but they help).
If you have a moment, please respond with your favorite X that gives you what you judge to be an analogous feeling, and an explanation of what's cool about it.
Suggestions that have worked for me before:
beautiful theorems, proofs, or visualizations/intuitions;
neuro-spicy special interests;
scientific discoveries (all fields: fundamental physics to animal behavior);
clever puzzle solutions;
a historical event that's happy for more than just bigots;
a difficult to translate word or phrase and some of the best ways it can be used;
an unusual grammatical feature of some language you know (of) or culture you're a part of that just makes sense.
Things you just think are neat and what you like about them.
Thanks to the people who responded plus a little searching through this bot's posts ( https://mastodon.social/@trendytoots ) I have extended the list. Please feel free to respond with any more you know and can comfortably share, maybe with a description of what it's for, and a suggestion for what to call this kind of practice (or maybe it has an official name?). I'd really love to see examples from a broader variety of languages!
Note: if I'm bothering the people who use these hashtags, please let me know! I can remove the "#" or the whole hashtag from the list
Aujourd'hui, à mon tour de fêter mon #mastonniversaire#mastoversaire. Un an que je suis revenue ici, après un essai non concluant en 2017 (comme beaucoup je pense).
🎂 (un tout petit #fil rétrospectif)
Mais je ne regrette pas le changement. J'ai retrouvé des gens avec lesquels j'aimais échanger "sur X" (anonymes ou non 😉)
J'en ai découvert d'autres.
J'ai découvert des fils que je ne connaissais pas, j'ai commencé à suivre #Mosstodon, #pouetradio, #fleuristonfil, #MonCielAujourdhui et autres #ThickTrunkThursday qui mettent du beau dans ma journée (#merci tellement aux gens qui prennent le temps de poster des jolies choses. Ça soigne tellement la tête 🙏 ).
As the old Scandinavian saying goes, there’s no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes. Remember to get outside even if it’s raining and soggy. There will be less people too. Nature is always beautiful. #ThickTrunkThursday#pnw#rainforest#oregon
