This morning at breakfast, I saw two horrific photos in my timeline where the victim's face had been insufficiently obscured. I don't know when I'll ever get these photos out of my head. I'm tough, and it was

🧵 horrifying.
The person who posted it achieved nothing except a few helplessly cynical comments. With CW, I would have been prepared to deal with it appropriately (but not during breakfast). And others, too.
Please show your social skills in social media. It doesn't cost you much.
Please CW child abuse!
🧵 I know, outrage wants to break out. You want to scream in disgust. Point the finger at the guilty parties.
First, take a deep breath. Remember that in a network like the Fediverse, lots of people are vulnerable themselves, they may have experienced traumata. It doesn't cost you much to make a CW: https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-content-warnings-cws-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/
Everybody can read your post - but decide before if one's strong enough.

Anyone who has ever eaten in France knows how a real garlic butter sauce smells. 🧄
🐌
And that's exactly how our village centre smelled today, and the scent crept through the ventilation system into the car. It has never been so difficult to cross the main intersection. By the time I reached my destination, my stomach was hanging at my knees growling with appetite.
Note to me: use a lot of garlic today.
🧵 Yes, yes, everyone comes out with this now ... but I wanted to mention that I have an account on ko-fi https://ko-fi.com/naturematchcuts and, like many other freelancers, I fuel my storytelling with #coffee! 
So I don't run on fossil fuels and I am purely human in the outer shell and brain.
which is a lie. These tiny little aliens in our body, named #microbiome, don't live only in our gut but also on our skin.

#GoodNews “Female #polarBears are really good moms and so they’re just primed for looking after and caring for their offspring,” said Evan Richardson, a research scientist with Environment and Climate Change Canada. “We think if there’s a little cub that’s bawling on the coast and has lost its mother, these females just can’t help themselves but to take them on and look after them." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/17/canada-polar-bear-adopts-new-cub

🧵 I wish you would show #FashionTrends more aggressively. Before you click away, you'll be surprised at what's coming. 😈
I often read and hear from people that they feel ashamed because they wear something that "isn't the latest fashion". Please forget this self-Instagramisation!
Fashion is whatever you like. In fashion, ancient stuff comes back or new, ridiculous stuff pops up. But fashion is about listening to yourself. You have to feel
#fashion #SlowFashion #wellbeing #bodyConfidence
🧵 comfortable. First and foremost, it's not about the pure external effect of a selfie. It's about how you feel about yourself when you're alone in front of the mirror, with no audience.
If you only listen to the #fastFashion industry (changing trends brings more profit) or #influencers à la #Instagram, your #happiness doesn't last long - the next #trend ist here before you got the money.
But in modern times fashion was also always developing your own style and #resisting industry dictates.
