The visiting #Avocet finally woke and had a stretch.
Don’t get me wrong - it’s great to see one in #Belfast - but it does seem to spend a lot of time asleep

Happy Self Care Saturday! Take care of yourself, whether that’s going full spa day like Rarity, or just relaxing in bed with a show you love, all self care is important <3
I watched My Little Pony Crystal Princess The Runaway Rainbow. That name is a mouthful.
First off, I have to say...
G3 Rarity -> G4 Rarity was such a horrible downgrade! My poor girl! What did they do to you... They stripped her of her entire personality. G3 Rarity is silly, she likes to play with bugs, she doesn't like school, she can be rude without realizing it, she eats too fast and burps, and she is absent-minded. But in the end she acknowledges her mistakes and becomes a responsible adult... but even though she takes the title of princess, she still likes to play with bugs!
As for the plot, it was good. A coming of age story with an adventure quest and an almost all-girl cast. All the ponies are girls, which I like. The only boy character in this is Spike the dragon.
I love the breezies. Their habitat is super beautiful.
One thing I don't get: this movie is all about rainbows, right? But the "rainbow" only has four colors. Fail.
Besides the terrible "rainbows," this was an unexpectantly good movie. Love it! I want to watch more of these girly cartoons...
The #MonkeyTree is the #hardiest species in the #conifer genus #Araucaria. Because of the prevalence of similar species in ancient #prehistory, it is sometimes called an #AnimateFossil.
Its #seeds are #edible, similar to large pine nuts, & are harvested by #Indigenous peoples in #Argentina & #Chile.
The tree has potential to be a #FoodCrop in other areas in the future, thriving in climates with cool oceanic summers. Like, #VancouverIsland & several coastal areas of the #PacificNorthwest.
The tree doesn't yield seeds until it is around 30-40 yrs old though.
Once valued because of its long, straight trunk, its current #rarity & #vulnerable status mean its wood is now rarely used; it is also #sacred to some #Indigenous #Mapuche.
The species is #protected under Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) meaning international trade is regulated by the CITES permitting system & commercial trade in wild sourced specimens is prohibited.
#Trump’s #Trial Could Bring a #Rarity: #Consequences for His #Words
The former president has spent decades spewing thousands and thousands of words, sometimes #contradicting himself. That tendency is now working against him in his Manhattan criminal #case.

Another photo of yet another WIP that will probably not get finished anytime soon...or ever.
(I serious need to try and stick with a consistent style though)
The legs could still use some touching up and I may want to add some more designs onto this
Alternate-universe nerd #Rarity where she's a programmer with strong opinions on UI and UX design (me).
You know what's ironic about me is I have a #Rarity avatar and my username and display name are both based off her, but I'm like not girly. The most girly things about me is I have long hair, like long socks, and like #MLP (obviously). That's it. Sometimes I pretend to be girly online though because it's fun, but I refuse to use #makeup or paint my nails. Although, does #computer stuff like #programming count since that was considered a woman's job a long time ago?
