We do things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy.

I've had this palm for over 20 years now. It was about 60cms high when I got it. I don't want it to get any bigger because it's hard to move as is! The 2nd photo gives a better sense of how it sits within the dining room. I love the lush feel it gives to the room.

TIL newton’s pendulum has way more „moves“ than I originally thought it has (never owned one myself and just always saw one in films etc.)

*Schizophyllum commune* has over 23,328 distinct, mostly inter-compatible mating sexes. It's growth is also influenced by gravity, so you can see that this fungus grew one way and then grew another way when flipped over. They can remain dry for a long time and revive quickly with the return of rain like a sponge.

I’ve wondered this same thing about photos of Japan for years, and he nailed it.

Can you trap a galaxy in a crystal ball? I tried! Back in 2018 I took this image of the Milky Way through a crystal ball from ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile.

Since we're all excited about the image of Sagittarius A*, here's a different view of the central regions of our galaxy.

In January the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa released a stunning radio dataset. In the image below I colorised it using what we call spectral index, which tells us what causes this radio emission, like electrons accelerated by magnetic fields.

Sgr A* would be an tiny spec at the center of this image.

To be my best self I had to be a bad child to my parents, and I'm proud and happy I had the courage to do so.

@RussSharek @GeoffWozniak The @plants group has been good for my timeline too.

Anyone know a Masto instance for gardeners? It might be the gateway for my wife to get off FB. #ask #garden

The couple of down the block on their new boat!

Most of the #peertube instances I've come across are desloate wastelands with like one obscure, Nepolese porn video; or like a series of personal vlogs, all by one unintelligable guy in a leather duster. I did find one fairly active one, but it turned out to be a "by racists, for racists" kind of deal and that's not really my scene, what with having a basic level of human decency and all.

Then there is @tilvids, which is stacked with quality edutainment content and has a great community. It's basically the gold standard for what Peertube was meant to be.

Does anyone know of any other good #instances out there besides #TILVids, or is it basically just dead ones and facists?
