@haubleshannah aubry To get inspired by interesting people from all over the world, to talk with them, to learn new things. To follow for more info e.g. writers/journalists/scientists etc. (Unfortunately not enough on Mastodon, therefore I'm on Bsky, too).

And professionally, to find new readers/listeners for my texts/podcast - and show them knowledge and fascinating facts about nature and cultural heritage.

And just for joy seeing a sunset from Australia or someone seeing an insect in Indonesia.

Using the "spiders georg" meme format I realize I have no idea how familiar that is to people on fedi. It's one of the foundational texts of tumblr and I assume it's spread extensively on other sites, but I can never be sure.

Trump has now set a deadline for Thursday next week, where he demands Ukraine signs an agreement to meet Putin’s demands:

— No NATO membership
— A reduction of its military to just 600,000 troops
— Accepting the loss of Donetsk, Luhansk, Crimea, and most of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia
— Forcing Ukrainian elections within 100 days

While Russia will
— Reenter the G8
— Have all sanctions lifted

This is not a peace agreement. This is capitulation.

Red Cross to cut 2026 budget by 17%, shed 2,900 jobs

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says it’s cutting its 2026 budget by 17 percent because of declining donor contributions and will slash 2,900 staff positions.

“As defence budgets surge, states must also put more effort and resources into preventing conflicts, defending the rules of war, and providing humanitarian relief. Failure to do so risks a world of ever more and greater suffering.”

Firefox 145.0.1 added Perplexity to my list of search engines, which I keep very small (only google ddg and wikipedia), without asking, despite my having set browser.ml.enable and browser.ml.chat.enabled false. They clearly have not spared a moment's thought for inferring user preferences on this, and we now know they have an incentive to ignore user preferences on this to goose their newly chosen success metrics.
A couple more changes like this and I'm out. After 22.5 years.

Seeing this Xmas decorations at St Pan gave me an overwhelming nostalgia in the old times I missed...I did not have a mobile phone until 2002, I did not have my own laptop until 2007 and not owned a smart phone until 2014, I have not yet used any LLM bot for my work for private life. I am one of those people who are quite slow on tech . I miss old tech: reading paper newspaper and magazine and liner TV.

I want this fast moving world to just stop! stop!

How would equitable access to heritage change life for future generations in your region? Patricia Diaz Rubio, the Executive Director of Wikimedia Chile explains the lasting effects of open heritage.

"In short, it's about giving the next generation the ability to see, study, and re-use our own heritage as something that belongs to us, not hidden behind barriers or licenses, but open to everyone, everywhere."

Trump’s Dept of Education saw the US nursing shortage and said “How can we help make this worse”, and then they did.

Dept of Ed has reclassified nursing degrees so they are no longer considered professional degrees. This functionally means that the loan caps for nursing students are much lower.

You know what the US needs? Barriers to people going into nursing. /S

Something happened to me recently, and I don't mean to be dramatic, but it's truly a shameful thing.
Two days ago, I joined the writing platform & even though @aralAral Balkan & @fabioFabio Manganiello told me it wasn't a good platform for me, being Palestinian, I decided to interact on it and post my poems there.
I was subjected to awful abuse in all verbal forms by Zionists there.
But I preferred to remain silent instead of arguing with any fools.
Today, the platform’s banned me!
