Test toot.

Mastodon never disappoints. I search superbowl and find posts filled with owls, as it should be.
Here's my contribution to Superb Owl day. I felted this fellow from lamb and alpaca wool. #SuperbOwl #felting #HandMade #nature #fibet #wool #alpaca
Happy Superb Owl Day!

A felted owl sculpture standing on the rail of a deck outdoors. It is tan, brown and white.

I've seen the fox in my back yard on three separate occasions this morning. Each time, it caught sight of me and vanished.

For the record, I do not have a problem with its presence there. The decision for the fox to run away is the fox's decision alone.

@MyView Yeah, ultimately, the number that counts is the one you get on the day. And regardless of how much we finish today with, I am very glad to get it.

I hope you get what you need - watching the landscape dehydrate is not nice.

@treleanor @jonlawrence @MostlyTato That's what I have here, too, in West Belco.

@jonlawrence Huh. Maybe last night's storm cell was more contained than I thought.

A cover of the AC/DC track ‘Thunderstruck’ by artist 2CELLOS.

This is a very well done video clip IMO.

@jonlawrence @juliew2010 I suspect that quite a few of them are dodging the heat and will go to the Multicultural festival tomorrow. But it's as well organised and polite as ever.

I have never seen that many people at the book fair.

A photo of an open instruction booklet for the game Tetris on a wooden surface. The page displays a diagram of the seven Tetris blocks with their official names listed next to them. The names are: "Orange Ricky" (L-shape), "Blue Ricky" (reverse L-shape), "Cleveland Z" (Z-shape), "Rhode Island Z" (S-shape), "Hero" (straight line), "Teewee" (T-shape), and "Smashboy" (square). Below the image is a caption that reads: "Someone out there on the internet found the original booklet that came with the original Nintendo system version of 'Tetris' and, hold on to your hats people, the blocks have names. THE BLOCKS HAVE NAMES!"

Four panel comic.

A giant octopus rests at the bottom of the ocean. Slowly watching, as a sailing ship passes atop.

Its tentacles reach up, stretching all the way from the bottom of the ocean, until two of them breach the surface either side of the ship.

Up aboard the ship, destruction everywhere as the octopuses tentacles rip the ship to pieces, crushing all people aboard.

Back to the octopus on the ocean floor. As the remains of the ship and bodyparts of the crew slowly sink around it. Its large central eye looking deep in thought at an open book, titled “How to hug”.

@mativity I got the same email today, and I feel exactly the same.

@treleanor Okay, so they've managed to get the correct data in. But they've left the wrong data in there as well. Sigh.

Festering Ferret boosted:

The message from the stars was very long and complex, but contained instructions how to decode and parse it incrementally.

There was an image, of a very cute furry creature. And a text, which loosely translated said:

"Send cat pics please!'

@cheryanne @treleanor or the cold.

This week I learned, from a blind acquaintance here, that when we write in ALL CAPS in alt text, their screenreader* reads it all out, *one letter at a time*.

Totally defeating the point of alt text making things accessible, right?
Needless to say, I've stopped.

Well, LOL remains LOL, of course!

* apparently, not all screenreaders.
