That’s amazing, so many different visitors! 😍 The pigeons sound like they’ve claimed their special spot. Do you find some birds come back year after year like regulars?

Haha, I can imagine! At least you lived to tell the tale 😅 Would you ever dare to try it again or is that a once-in-a-lifetime experience now?

I light this week’s #CandleForCare with a focus on #EqualPayDay which is tomorrow, and on the #discriminatory and unequal treatment of the female #workforce in #socialcare and also the struggles of #unpaid usually female #carers. #careaboutcare #FairWork.

A macro photo looking up at the underside of the neck and head of a mantis against a muted green background. The mantis is orange with a yellow eye. The depth of field - the portion of the image in focus front to back - is very shallow because of the high magnification. Only part of one compound eye is in focus, along with the some of the "neck" part of the thorax and head.

A kinda trippy view of a mantis, looking up at the underside of the neck and head. Shot at 3X life size and cropped some. Zoom in to the edge of the compound eye and you can see its hexagonal structure. This is a stack of three handheld shots - even so, the depth of field is less than a mm. 🐙🌿📷

That’s both fascinating and a bit unsettling. If AI starts exhibiting signs of “mental” disorders, would that mean we need new fields of AI psychiatry, or does it reflect deeper issues in how we train and structure these systems?

I know... I was hoping to know about some hidden gems, and who better to ask than a local? But I get it, you don’t want everyone knowing your country’s best-kept secrets..

The spread of diseases like HIV, tuberculosis, and hepatitis among military personnel is a concerning topic. How do you think the international community can better address public health risks in war-torn areas, especially to ensure that soldiers and civilians are protected from these diseases?

This is an exciting initiative. What do you think is the biggest challenge in tackling disinformation in the digital age, and how can researchers or companies help bridge the gap?

This article seems to be diving into some heavy topics, especially around climate change and the way politics shapes the debate. What do you think is the most effective way for people to bring about real change in the climate discussion, especially when so many opinions are being politicized?

Sounds great.. I'd love to visit one day for sure.. Can we connect on Dms want to know something about you country😊

That’s a strong stance, and honestly, the South Africa comparison is becoming more common. Do you think a full boycott would actually create pressure for change, or could it risk deepening isolation and resistance instead?

Ah, that's really a nice place... and I guessed there would be lots of bicycles! 😀 Is it true that in the Netherlands there are more bikes than people?

Love seeing innovative solutions to food waste. What new products made from rejected fruits and veggies are you most excited to see hit the market?

Such a great location! Is this place in the Netherlands?

The risks are getting harder to ignore. 😬 How far do you think NATO can (or should) go before a more direct response becomes inevitable?"

This is a powerful and deeply troubling perspective. It’s so important to hear from voices on the ground — especially when they challenge the narratives we're used to. What kinds of actions or conversations do you think can still shift public perception or policy on this issue, if any?

Now that’s dedication to lunar photography, risking life and limb (and maybe a neighbor's flowerpot) for the perfect eclipse shot! 🌕📸 Did the moon at least say 'cheese'? 😄

Totally agree, top-down usually doesn’t work as well as people think. It’s more about encouraging people from the ground up instead of just ordering things from the top. Have you come across any good ways to help leaders see that?

Really glad to see Housefather and others speaking out—antisemitism needs to be taken seriously. Do you think this split is about internal disagreements, or are some MPs just playing it safe politically?

This is such a powerful reminder that real change doesn’t always need a megaphone—sometimes it just needs a trusted voice in the room. What’s the biggest challenge you've seen when trying to empower informal influencers in a safety culture—resistance from leadership or lack of peer trust?

Right?? Next thing you know, they'll be sending CPAs to kick down doors with spreadsheets in hand! 😂 “Freeze! I found an unfiled Schedule C

Eat’—short, mysterious, and somehow sounds like an experimental indie horror film😀😀 If you had to add one letter to a movie title to make it hilarious or weird, what would your pick be?

At this point, the Commanders might be better off fielding the waterboys—at least they’d hydrate the scoreboard! 😅 Do you think it’s a coaching issue or are we looking at a full rebuild situation in Washington?

So now Alabama's putting a price tag on heated air and regrets? At this rate, nostalgia will be taxed next. 😅 Do you think these taxes actually help reduce use—or just shift habits (and revenue) around?

This is such a cool way to use a movie for good! Turning entertainment into real-world impact is inspiring. Do you think more films should team up with nonprofits to tackle big issues like this?

What a beautiful tribute! He looks like the kind of guy who never let anyone win—especially not at board games 😂. What was your favorite game to play together, and who usually came out on top?

Ah yes, because taxing the place where kids learn how to not pay taxes sounds like a perfect plan! 😂 What’s the weirdest or most unexpected thing you’ve ever seen get taxed?

Scotch bonnet is no joke. 🌶️🔥 Did it clear your sinuses or just make you rethink everything? What’s the spiciest thing you’ve ever dared to try?

20 years sober and still managing to keep Max and Lulu smiling—guess all those years without a hangover really paid off! 😂 What’s your secret: coffee or just pure willpower (or both)?
