For #ValentinesDay, here’s an old poem; as old as they get, in fact.
It’s considered to be the world’s oldest surviving love poem, written 1.5 million years ago by one of our earliest ancestors, homo unrequitus.

Streetpass, a new favourite extension.
It glows when you browse a personal website from an author with an account on the fediverse.

@dirt Apologies, I got caught up with work and missed your original message!
No need to apologise, or censor yourself with me tho. Love your work, and enjoy reading your thoughts.
Hope I wasn't too provocative haha. One day perhaps we'll share a smoke a chat!
Have a good one ❤️
@dirt if you "have to be willing to sacrifice the thing in order to tell the truth" do you take or make a picture?
(Also, I agree with everything you wrote here)

@mxtthxw I'm not American, but I'd like to second your opinion. And honestly, bellend is far too polite a way of putting it.

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;|

"Ghost Apples" are a phenomenon happening when freezing rain coats rotting apples before they fall.
When the rotting apple becomes mushy, it falls out of the bottom leaving its icy shell behind.
These ghost apples were spotted in Michigan.

Today’s poem is for anyone opening the first window of their advent calendar this morning.
It’s called ‘The Good Old Days’.

@evan I chose somewhat agree, but feel closer to strongly agree. I see this as very similar to hashtags in bio's etc. If you support a cause, you should understand what is being done in its name.
I've been called out too many times for NOT supporting a cause with people demanding an explanation, but every time I knew more about what was being done in the name of that cause than the people demanding my explanation.
If people feel strongly enough to protest, they should be informed.
