[People of Iceland]

Who knows people from Iceland publishing on Mastodon or somewhere similar in the Fediverse?

Thanks for participating and maybe sharing this Post.

Why do so many people still believe everything the super-rich say?

Especially when they say they know how the “normal” and “economically weak” are doing?

This expression alone....
Normal people?
Economically weak?

Oh....
Go fuck yourselves

Sorry, couldn't help myself...little shitposting

#Today I went out with my #cat Siiri and she sat on my lap. Siiri purred and was so happy that she got all the attention. My other cat Sanni wasn't out with us. I thought that #people probably think I'm a crazy #catlady, but the best thing at this age is that I don't care what others think of me!

Two bills in Congress would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from using hundreds of chemical assessments completed by its IRIS program in environmental regulations or enforcement.

Lots of names for this #celestial #spectacle: the #BloodMoon, the #FullMoon, even March's #WormMoon.

Most importantly, #MoonGazers, it's the #TotalLunarEclipse, and what we call the #Night of the #KrononautMoon, the Night when #TimeTravelers are invited to come visit, or send us a #quantum #signal from the #beyond!

The Krononaut Moon Project (@KronoMoon) is collecting Full Moon #photos from the far reaches of the #Fediverse, all Thursday Night & all Friday Night, 2025 Mar 13-14. We love a #MoonShot that includes #people in it (or Time Travelers!) — what we call a "#Moonsie". The Total Lunar Eclipse occurs around 07:00 UTC Friday.

Watch the Moon & #Stars this week, and please note any #anomalous #phenomena (#UFOs or #UAP). Share your #documentation with @KronoMoonPhotos & @KronoMoon, or contact: Photos@KronoMoon.org

Who here feels like they are subjectively too NICE? Or that it might be better for themselves to be less NICE?

(This question focuses on your personal feelings, not the impact on the world)

Did you know we're essentially all #STARS? That is to say, we’re actually the children of stars!

How does it feel to have stars for parents?

While I was cleaning at the church a chap walks in and stands just a bit too close to me and says:
"Hey, how you doing? What's up?"

"I am doing ok and I am cleaning. Who are you?"

"Oh I'm here to do some checks, just waiting for Ann."

"OK, Well, Anna shouldn't be long then."

"Cool, I'll just go to check something."
And he walks off into to the vestry.

I follow him and ask his what the 'checks' are. It turns out he is the electrician.

Don't people introduce themselves anymore?
His opening line suggests his last job was as a call centre cold call spammer!

#People!

The current ~~craziness~~ stupidity originating in D.C., resulting in the dumbest trade war in a century, does at least illustrate one thing that I think more people should reflect on.

Politics isn't a (meaningless...) team sport like football or hockey or whatever.

You shouldn't "pick a side" and then support everything that "side" does. You shouldn't automatically denigrate everything their opponents do.

You shouldn't assume that one side is "good", and the other(s) are "bad".

#Politics is #ideology to some extent, but it's also people, with all the messiness, squishiness, contradictions, and shades of grey that #people necessarily bring to the table.

You can generally agree with the #beliefs and actions of a political tribe, but be horrified by some of their positions or actions. Or just not be too enthusiastic about them.

The current situation shows this, to me, very clearly:

Justin #Trudeau, over the last few years, showed himself to be unprincipled in many respects, a hypocrite in others, and an aimless empty suit in yet more areas. I was disgusted with his performance, both as a political leader, and as our Prime Minister.

However... in this dumb dustup provoked by the USA's First Felon, he has obviously found something within himself that he has not shown us in a long time, if ever. He's showing resolve, #principle, the willingness to endure and suffer for the greater good, and an unwillingness to bow to evil.

It's okay to like him for this!
