Sweet bird is an acrylic painting in contemporary square format painted by artist Karen Kaspar. A cute little bird is sitting on a branch and is looking to the right side. The bird seems to be smiling.
The inspiration for this bird portrait was a female house sparrow sitting in a bush in our garden. But I was in the mood for some soft candy pastel colors. So it became a fantasy bird in colorful shades of teal, yellow and pink. The abstract background echoes these colors.

I want to publicly thank @grunfink for creating the amazing snac2, which powers my instance.
They've read everything I noted, suggested changes, and adapted the code to make it work optimally even on my slow VM. If all open source developers were as kind and helpful as they have been with me, the world would be an idyllic place.
A shoutout to @stefano too - using snac2 was his idea, and he's responsible for the technical implementation of the instance.
And thanks to everyone who makes my timeline interesting and complete - without you, all of this would be utterly pointless.

moon viewing
mother and daughter
in total awe

Two cats and a full moon is a watercolor painting in landscape format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
Two cats sit on the roof of a house and look up into the dark night sky, which is illuminated by a bright yellow round full moon. The two cats can be seen as dark silhouettes from behind, standing out against the bright full moon.

This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art and artwork) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku).
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines.

Here the watercolor painting was supplemented with the haiku in English.

As @FreddieJ comes to the end of his time with the Newsmast Foundation team, we'd like to take a moment to celebrate all he's achieved.

Freddie has been with us since the start, from the original idea and through the many evolutions that have grown Newsmast.

Instrumental in building our relationships with others in this space, he has helped build the Foundation into what you see today.

We really hope that Freddie will stay involved in the Social Web, especially in areas of advocacy and policy where he excels.

But, for now, we just want to say a huge thank you 🧡

A small robin with bright orange breast feathers stands on a square wooden perch and looks around with interest. The bird was painted with loose brushstrokes and the background was left white.

OK... Last obnoxious post about this. Some pics from the Tuesday Awards Ceremony honoring Monterey-Salinas Transit.

I’ve always known this is a great Public Agency. But APTA recognizing that fact is a real boost for so many of the people who make it happen in our little organization every day.

Here is to all of them. The Drivers, Mechanics, Facilities & Operations folks, Customer Service, and Office Staff. It just would not be MST without you.

This Saturday, the 24th, will mark exactly three years since I ran away from home to join the Fediverse!

In the 1095 days betwixt, I have learned a ton from y'all, grown so much as a person, had a bunch of adventures, and changed most of my life

Some of the highlights were:
- ⚧️ discovering I'm nonbinary
- 💞 surviving a suicide attempt
- 🧠 writing a cool paper on autism diagnosis
- 🏃🏼‍♀️ leaving my abusive marriage
- ❤️‍🩹 doing suicide prevention check-ins with folx
- 🔞 becoming an adult content creator
- 😘 dating a few Fedi folx
- ❤️ meeting my two amazing partners
- 🔓 becoming RedTeamTools' brand ambassador
- making the TeslaFire emoji
- 💝 meeting like 100 Fedi folx IRL
- 🐈 saving a cat
- 🩸 paying a street medic's medical bills
- ❤️‍🔥 founding @AltAfterDark
- 🐟 saving a couple big fish from a net
- 🩹 helping multiple people recover from surgeries
- 🤯 being followed by over 7000 of you
- 🫠 getting fan art & music from y'all
- 🤘 learning electric guitar & bass

And *all*¹ of those were only possible because of you. Thank you. Thank you so, so much.

¹ I'm sure this list is missing a ton of things 😅²
² I'm running out of emoji 😋
