What do owners do for their lonely and bored parrots, which are social animals? Give them tech to video call other parrots, of course.
Parrots were taught how to make video calls to other parrots. During free call time over a period of two months, they "came alive". Some showed each other their toys. Some developed best friends.
A bottle of water can be $1 at the grocery store, $3 at a restaurant, $4 at the movies, and $6 at an airport. The only thing that changed its value is the place, so the next time you feel like you have no value, maybe you're in the wrong place.
If you're having trouble having hope, watch some social media videos from the early pandemic - people were opening their hearts, pitching in for the greater good, supporting one another, making big organizational changes...until they were propagandized NOT to.
We have the power to form positive community. Remind yourself of what we're capable of at our best. Do not allow the rich to convince you that we have no power even over ourselves. #COVID#Pandemic#MutualAid#Positivity
Redoing an #introduction after a couple of months:
Hello, I'm Franz from Germany. I'm here to share my outdoor adventures: #hiking, #mountainbiking, and the enchanting beauty of #nature through my #photography. The essence of my journey is about capturing the #positivity and inspiration nature offers to me. Together, let's traverse trails, conquer #mountains, and find serenity in the wild. Let's embark on this adventure of exploration and appreciation for the great #outdoors!
Good morning Fediverse, I'm starting today off with some Lapsang Souchong, a delicious pine-smoky black tea. How about you? It's gonna be a good day today!
Today is Leap Day, a fake day is you will. Let's celebrate by sharing something positive that has happened and/or a win you've had recently. #LeapDay#Positivity
Embrace self-expression and creativity to harness the day's positive energies. Engaging in artistic activities boosts mood, fosters growth, and enhances problem-solving skills. Elevate your spirit through art.

As my father is fond of saying, "every day you spend on the right side of the grass is a good day." In that spirit, #FediFam, let's try to let go of our sadness, frustration, and fear and think of THREE GOOD THINGS™️!

🧘🏻♂️ Tried a new #yoga routine for my back and it felt great.
🧍🏻♂️🧍🏼🧍🏼♂️Housework goes fast now that our little family has grown to 3!
“My life has changed profoundly since transitioning. I now enjoy life, have better relationships with my family, have increased my social circle, have returned to education and am well on my way to a new career, live in a brilliant town, quit drinking and no longer suffer chronic anxiety and depression.” Charlotte F

"Through my own identity as a trans man, and one of a race other than white, I really wanted to share my own experiences to show that everyone's on a different path. It's not an easy journey and I don't think it's ever really over. It can be emotionally draining, but it can also be really rewarding." Leo Sheng
