  Sometimes I just need to take my mind off things. And what better way to do that than making chilli sauce with a dear friend? 🌶️ A little cooking and a lot of chilli later… somehow things feel a bit lighter. 🌕 Yellow chilli sauce: Lemon Drop or other yellow chillies, carrots, onion, garlic & oil. ❤️ Red chilli sauce: Siberian House Pepper, UFO chilli or other red chillies, red pepper, garlic & oil. #chillisauce #food #chilli #chili #chillipeppers #chilipepers #chillisaison #P...

  Begroetingskus 💋 Afgelopen weekend was ik op bezoek bij twee oudere, oer-Brabantse mensen. En ja hoor: hop, drie zoenen bij binnenkomst. 😘 Ik schrok me kapot. 😂 Was ik dat helemaal niet meer gewend. Sinds corona is dit ritueel blijkbaar volledig uit mijn systeem verdwenen. Nu ben ik een beetje benieuwd: kussen jullie nog bij een begroeting? Of hebben jullie een ander leuk begroetingsritueel? #begroetingskus #driezoenen

  History is repeating itself. Today is the day of the government elections in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, and the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) is predicted to win 44.5% of the votes. This makes them the strongest party in parliament. I am crying and furious at the same time. 'No tomorrow for fascists' (slogan of the today's demonstration in Magdeburg, the capital of Saxony-Anhalt). #NoAfd #election #Germany #NoFacism

  Net een erg leuke en vermakelijke film gezien: "Pride" (2014) een film over 'Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners' in Wales en Engeland. https://www.vrt.be/vrtmax/a-z/pride/ (Nog 3 dagen via VRT, als je niet in België bent dan even VPN aanzetten) #Pride #film #LGSM

  I almost didn’t dare, but I did it: harvesting the chillies! 🌶️ It’s a small harvest because I really want to leave the chillies on the plants for as long as possible and only pick the ones that are truly ripe. Curious to see how they’ll taste! 😊 @gardening #ChilliGrowing #chilli #chili #chillipeppers #chilipepers #chillisaison #Plantjournal #gardening

  A year ago, I tried to walk this mountain lake trail but couldn’t finish due to LongCOVID. Last weekend, with a dear friend, I finally completed the whole route. 🥾🏔️ So happy, and very grateful to my wonderfully patient friend for organising everything, including plenty of breaks at beautiful spots, good food and enough water. ❤️ @longcovid #LongCovid #PostCovid #NietHersteld #PAIS #MentalHealth #WellBeing #HealthCare #Health

  Okay, ich wusste, dass Palantir schlimm ist, aber der Umfang wurde mir erst nach dieser fünfteiligen Audio-Doku "Inside Palantir" klar. Absolute Hörempfehlung! https://www.ardsounds.de/sendung/wild-wild-web-geschichten-aus-dem-internet/urn:ard:show:58fb576ce81ae653/ Trigger Warning: Dieser Podcast verursacht Wut und nimmt dir auch noch das letzte bisschen Vertrauen in diese Gesellschaft und die Technik. @podcasts_DE #Palantir #AI #Data #Krieg #Podcasts

  Fake references. While peer-reviewing an academic paper, I checked the reference list and found that around 80% of the cited sources simply do not exist. It seems highly likely that they were fabricated by GenAI. This isn't a mistake. It's academic misconduct. Brazen, lazy, and profoundly unethical. This is an abuse of the peer-review process and a waste of reviewers' time. #NoGenAI #FakeReferences #Spookreferenties

  Over the next 24 hours, thousands of people are expected to take to the streets in Erfurt, Germany, to protest against the extreme-right AfD party. The AfD is due to hold its conference in the city, while anti-fascist groups have organised demonstrations across Erfurt and make their voices heard. Map including the different groups: https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/online-aktionskarte_1428416#10/50.921216/10.972595 More info about one of the protesting groups: https://widersetzen.com #Ac...

  While I wasn't paying attention, my chilli plants are doing odd things! 🌶️ One fruit is green and finger-sized, but all the others are tiny and black. Any idea why they're growing so differently? I got these seeds in a swap from a friend in Germany. The envelope was labelled “Buschpfeffer”. @gardening@fedigroups.social #ChilliGrowing #chilli #chili #chilies #Plantjournal #plants #growing #gardening #SeedExchange

  Heute habe ich einen bad-hair-day und habe mir das Hörspiel „Gaslicht – Ein mörderisches Spiel“ angehört. Leider wurde mein Tag dadurch nicht besser, aber immerhin weiß ich jetzt, woher das Wort „Gaslighting” (psychische Manipulation einer Person) stammt. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:61174a3de84d797b #Hörspiel #Hörspiele #Podcast #Hörtipp #Luistertip #AudioDrama @audiobooks @podcasts@fedigroups.social @podcasts@slrpnk.net @podcasts@feddit.org @audiofiction@fedigroups...

  Good morning ☀️ Time to let the sun in and open the shutters. The chillies are already a bit grumpy that I’m still in bed and haven’t opened the bedroom window yet… alright, alright—here we go 🌶️ @gardening #ChilliGrowing #chilli #chili #chilies #chillipeppers #chilipepers #chillisaison #Plantjournal #plants #growing

  Yes, yes, I finally made it to my favourite graphic novel shop to pick up the book "Spent" by the fantastic Alison Bechdel. Now just a cup of tea, and it’s time to start reading… @bookstodon #Books #Bookstodon #IAmReading #boeken #GraphicNovel #reading #LGBTQ #Queerbrarians

  Isn’t she gorgeous?! This Buschpfeffer chili plant is absolutely loving the sunshine, and watching her grow makes me so happy. 🌱 @gardening@fedigroups.social @gardening@tagpush.app #ChilliGrowing #chilli #chili #chilies #chillipeppers #chilipepers #chillisaison #Plantjournal #plants #growing

  Awww, I just can’t stop watching them. This little chili plant — a Lemon Drop — is only a few days old, and she’s already looking so pretty. 🌱 @gardening #ChilliGrowing #chilli #chili #chilies #chillipeppers #chilipepers #chillisaison #Plantjournal #plants #growing

  Een mooie manier van escapisme: weekendje Schiermonninkoog, het grijze monnikeneiland. Straks meedoen aan de Nationale Schelpenteldag. https://www.schelpenteldag.nl/ Al haalt de realiteit me snel al in. Maar hé, ik heb het in elk geval geprobeerd om te ontsnappen aan deze gekke tijden. Voor iedereen die vandaag vol de realiteit in gaat: een strijdbare dag gewenst! #GoodVibes #GoodThings #Schelpenteldag

  Zaagjes, nonnetjes en strandgapers… Tot gisteren had ik er nog nooit van gehoord – en nu spotte ik ze gewoon zelf! Naast kokkels en Amerikaanse zwaardschedes vond ik deze schelpen tijdens de Schelpenteldag op Schiermonnikoog. Wat een leuke én verrassende ervaring! Samen met veel andere vrijwilligers hielpen we mee aan een mooi stukje citizen science: het tellen van schelpen langs de Noordzee. #GoodVibes #GoodThings #Schelpenteldag #Schelpen #Noordzee #Schiermonnikoog #CitizenScience #nature
