The Dutch supermarket chain Jumbo has introduced approx 200 special checkout lanes called "chat checkouts," across its stores in the Netherlands. Designed for customers, particularly elderly, who appreciate a slower-paced checkout that allows time for friendly conversation with cashiers.
The initiative aims to combat loneliness among seniors & foster social interaction within the community. ->

Art for the Creatively Terrified (ACT) is a fun, informal art session for adults. With guidance and tuition from Suzie Simmons, you will create a unique, genuinely one of a kind series of artwork.

If you're feeling lonely tonight or on Xmas day, feel free to join my Matrix chat. I'll be monitoring it, and there are almost always a few people to chat with.
Just say hi when you come in and you'll have people to waste your time with. Just as if you were with your family and friends.
I recommend using the Element interface.
Please BOOST for reach.

#VicePresident #KamalaHarris and #Runningmate #TimWalz talk #LGBTQ+ #rights at first rally in #Philadelphia
One #mom from the #suburbs waited with her #daughter, who is #transgender. This year will be the first time the #daughter is #eligible to #vote. Although both #voters were planning to vote for the #reelection of #President #JoeBiden, they prefer seeing Harris at the top of the ticket. And they’re even more excited to vote for a #trans-#friendly #veep in #TimWalz.
Just a #Friendly reminder that on like #Shitter or #Facecrook you need to use #Hashtags to drive #Engagement on the #Fediverse. I realize I need to up my game in this regard too. But I'm seeing a huge wash of posts lately without any hashtags.
Also please take the time to #caption your #pictures, #memes and #videos. There is a large #community of #Blind and/or #Disabled people here who rely on those captions.
Please #Boost
I send thanks to the buyer from Oregon who purchased several 10-packs of greeting cards of
The Broughton House -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/the-broughton-house-steve-henderson.html?product=greeting-card
May the artwork take both you and the people to whom you send the cards to a place of welcoming, warmth, and home, and may you feel as if you could run about the yard of this house and play with the joy and freedom of a child.
#silvopasture protects farms against the two words often not spoken on farms:
"If you mention '#climate #change,'" Payne said, "it stops the conversation."
On Payne's 300 acres are the seeds of what will become 10,000 #trees.
There are also #sheep: 800 ewes and 1,000 lambs grazing on grass.
It's part of a method of farming called silvopasture. Payne and others see it as a solution for #sustainable, #climate-#friendly #farming.
"Silvopasture is not new," said Ashley Conway-Anderson, who teaches at the University of Missouri's Center for Agroforestry.
Silvopasture refers to
intentionally integrating livestock with forages and trees.
It creates an ecosystem vastly different from the rows and rows of typical farms.
"I think it's our responsibility, being in the position that we're in, to be as responsible as we can with the land that we have," Conway- Anderson said. "It still provides a lot of really high-nutrient density food. It manages landscape in a more ecologically friendly way. But it is productive."
It's also built for more extreme weather. On this day on Payne Farms, it's 35 degrees with 30-mph winds. The sheep use the trees as a windbreak. In the increasing and intensifying heat of summer, they'll use the trees for shade.
#DeutscheWelle @dw_innovation, the #German public, state-owned #broadcaster funded via taxes, shares their #Mastodon experience after half a year:
»Even though some users tend to be cheeky, sarcastic, and very critical, the general atmosphere is #civilized, #relaxed, and very #friendly. There seem to be very few trolls, which is why even admins of #ARD flagship accounts told me they were able to turn off automatic blockers.«

#Walking for my #health has become a #nightmare. Off #leash #dogs may be #friendly, #jumping & #barking at me. #Owners seem to think I shouldn't be #outdoors unless I'm be happy to #risk being knocked over & wash out #muddypaw marks. I've walked in the #woods for 20 yrs but now some #dogwalkers tell me I shouldn't if I'm not happy to meet their untrained #dogs. 
Thank you to all responsible #dogowners, you are a joy to see. If only every #dogwalker were like you.

"So what changed?
In 2021, #Univision merged with Televisa, a Mexican media company. #Televisa is known for its #friendly coverage of Mexican #political leaders, who have rewarded the company with favorable regulatory treatment and other #benefits. The co-CEO of #TelevisaUnivisio Mexico is Bernardo Gómez, a close associate of Trump's son-in-law, #JaredKushner."
