Quick Question


Hey #fediverse, question for you. I recently made the mistake of going back onto #facebook to post on my neighborhood's community page to ask my neighbors to please keep their dogs on a leash so they don't keep wandering into my yard, breaking things, and scaring away the #cats that live in my yard.

It IMMEDIATELY devolved into two common sentiments:
1) If you don't want stuff to get broken, don't own stuff
2) Having cats is a moral failing and I should be euthanizing every cat that wanders into my yard.

I don't spend much time on facebook anymore, but I don't remember it being _that_ bad. So this is my question --

Is this a facebook problem, or just a sign-of-the-times / people problem? I haven't been on #friendica / #mastodon very long so I can't tell if my positive experience here is just a bubble or if people here are just more sane.

There are only a few hours left to bid on my latest painting, inspired by a set of playing cards from the Soviet underground that I found at my grandmotherโ€™s house

I will even give the auction winner a few of the playing cards that inspired me ๐Ÿ‘€

My weekly update on #COVID19 in the US:

- The spring lull has arrived!
- COVID fell to low or very low viral activity in all 4 regions.
- 2 states still have high viral activity; 7 more have moderate. More than half are at very low activity.
- The positive rate of testing is lower than its been in a year.
- Summer surges typically start in late May to early July. The West could expect a more powerful summer surge this year.

I heard we're doing #TrainTrackTuesday. I've got too many to cho cho choose from, but I don't want to derail things so here's a photo from 2018 at Ospizio Bernina โ€” the highest rail crossing through the alps, if I remember correctly.

Another one of my hobbies is woodcarving. I only started doing this a year ago. It takes a lot of time, so I do it a little less often than I paint. Iโ€™d like to share one of my latest pieces with you!๐Ÿฆ‹
