This close-up shows a cornflower (Centaurea cyanus), also called cyane (from the Latin Cyanus[1]), against the background of a sunset. The flower can be seen as a dark silhouette, with the sun's rays focused by fine hairs at its centre and edges. 

The colours. The background is mostly dark orange to black.  The flower itself is a dark black silhouette. 

Diese Nahaufnahme zeigt eine Kornblume (Centaurea cyanus), auch Zyane (von lateinisch Cyanus[1]) genannt, vor dem Hintergrund eines Sonnenuntergangs. Die Blüte ist als dunkle Silhouette zu erkennen, in deren Mitte und an deren Rändern sich die Sonnenstrahlen durch feine Härchen bündeln. 

Die Farben. Der Hintergrund ist überwiegend dunkelorange bis schwarz.  Die Blüte selbst ist als dunkelschwarze Silhouette erkennbar.

Based on Chicago’s grid system, the streets create a perfect alignment between the sun and the urban canyons created by the skyscrapers of the Loop. In this photo, the sun is a fiery penny at the base of the horizon, filling the entire frame with orange light. I am behind people who are also photographing the sunset, so shoulders and backs of heads are also visible.

It is truly unfortunate that the cumulative effects of the bullshit accusations and complaints can add up to real-world consequences. Hopefully your employer and other complained-to parties are those rare stars that don't fold under that kind of pressure.

I don't think it's personal. Pretty much everyone with much of a platform gets these same deluded nuts complaining to their employer or school or family, or more.

#Research & #technology question - can you help me out, folks?
(Personal project, #health, #wellbeing and #wellness focused. Semi #scientific (but I am not a professional so n=1 with no advice given for others).

I am experiencing a stressful period in my life, and have a lot of work based stress to come. While I have various "coping" mechanisms, I am interested in the effects of various other changes I can make to move from "coping" to "thriving".

Part of this is monitoring my overall health more closely. #BloodPressure, #HeartRate, #skin condition (when I get stressed, dry skin flares up).

I can take #quantitative measurements using various devices already in my possession.

Part of this is #qualitative measurements, sense of satisfaction at the end of the day, pain.levels, sleep, general energy etc.

My question is this...

Is there some #middleware which could scrape data out of my #GoogleFit account (all devices are compatible with GF), and allow me to construct my own qual questionnaire in one platform?

I could use a spreadsheet and manually transfer #data - but that is Something Else To Do, so if I can avoid that, I would like to!

Hope that all makes sense. In essence, a connected health qual / quant personal research app.

Is it too much to hope for?

#ThankYou, in advance!

This is a really good look at how #mastodon has fared over the past six months or so, courtesy of @wilf via @TheGuardian_uk : https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/apr/18/mastodon-users-twitter-elon-musk-social-media

I completely agree with @jlogancarey about increased discovery here, compared with #birdsite. That's been my experience too - it's easier to find great content, and I have all sorts of different folk answering questions I post - and the discourse is definitely nicer as @jeffjarvis says.

I've only had one minor disagreement (in which I got called a #bigot because I was using the platform's #blocking feature to get rid of certain topics from my stream), but am genuinely super sorry to hear that @shengokai had such a rubbish experience. #SocialMedia is only as good as the people on it, and nowhere is going to be perfect (but it's up to us to support every space becoming open, welcoming & fabulous for everyone).

I'm also really grateful to the article for highlighting what @ntnsndr is up to. If I ever feel like I need a change from the most fabulous & excellent server I'm currently on, social.coop is worth checking out!

Final point, personally, I LOVE Mastodon. It's like the other platforms were back in the day before scale and algorithms got in the way.
Interactions are more frequent, content is more interesting, and I'm inspired by the opportunities to rebuild a #SocMed environment around me & what I want, not what others think I should have.
I genuinely can't imagine going back to #Birdsite and would like to say a huge #ThankYou to everyone who is part of the fediverse. xoxo

💀 It’s National Funeral Director & Mortician Appreciation Day!!! 🥳

Death care is strenuous, stressful, demanding, and low paying. It’s often a thankless job, as grieving families are understandably focused on other things.

Take a moment today to consider what morticians face on a daily basis. Death, unfathomable grief, gruesome bodies, tales of devastation, broken families, long unpredictable hours, and generally the worst things you can imagine. Many of us burn out or resort to unhealthy coping mechanisms. It’s a calling though, and we can’t resist the drive to help those in need.

Has a funeral director helped you navigate through a loss? Send them a note to let them know they made an impact on your life. Though we certainly appreciate tips, lunches, and mementos, we don’t expect them. Sometimes the best reward is hearing that our work mattered.

I have a box full of thank you cards that help remind me of my purpose when days are tough. 🖤

Absolutely mind blown at the traction that my poll from yesterday ended up getting, and yet there's still 2 hours left to vote!

https://androiddev.social/@cliffwade/109886759066153225

Nearly 3,600 people have voted on the poll and that number is steadily going up. Let's not forget to mention 475+ shares as well.

All I can say is THANK YOU for all the love and support on my posts at times! I truly appreciate each and every one of you!

@RitchieTorres John Fetterman is a true life superhero. To go through what he did and continue undaunted through a grueling campaign to fight for democracy, it’s astounding. (And to win on top of that!) Millions are rooting for you Senator and millions have your back and millions are wishing you healing and better days ahead! #Fetterman #Hero #ThankYou

#Thankyou

"The Scottish Government’s on-line identity is clearly defined by the .scot domain and marks us out in a crowded Internet. We led by example in adopting the domain as our primary web address and it is encouraging to see that so many thousands continue to follow.” (Nicola Sturgeon 2015)

“It is entirely right that Scotland should have its own distinctive and recognisable internet domain, in particular one that will resonate internationally" (Nicola Sturgeon on .scot launch 2014)

Who can blame #NicolaSturgeon for wanting to resign? She has been forced to endure so much in the past few weeks at the hands of #RightWingExtremists after Scotland passed (and has the UK block) new #SelfID laws that would make #trans people’s lives safer.

Nicola has been one of our best allies. We will not forget.

#ThankYou.

I should also note, however, that we trans people cannot just resign. If this much hate has taken its toll on one of Scotland’s most resolute and inspirational leaders…a cishet woman… imagine how #trans, #nonbinary and #intersex people feel every fucking day.

The hate must stop.

A foggy night in #Galway for this #SilentSunday - someone recently bought a print of this #ThankYou whoever you are so it came to mind to share today.

Sales from my shop literally put food on the table so thank you however you may choose to share or support what I do.

Digital art based on a photo from a foggy night in Galway Ireland. A lone figure is visible on the lower left side on a sidewalk. The rest of the image is a mixture of lights and dimly lit architecture in a low visibility fog.
