Hey #VisibleMending people,any recommendations for manuals or tutorials how to mend a hole like this one in **linen** pants? Boundary conditions: it had to be done by hand without any special equipment (but I'm pretty good at hand stitches of all kind & don't own a sewing machine) and it has to hold a few washes, at least.For everyone else: please note I am asking people with experience in #mending or clothes #repair, not folks who point me towards something they found online or googled up.

I may loose my German citizenship for saying this, but here I am, for work in Spain right after a long vacation in Italy, and I'm reminded once again that I much prefer Spanish food to Italian food...

I need to do more art - and at least for me, challenges do work well. So: 52 art pieces in 52 weeks.Anyone else wants to play along?You can define what art & when your 52 weeks run. Mine are 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. And I want to focus on the watercolour paintings, not on the digital doodles.Boosts welcome.And since this needs a hashtag: #52ArtWeeks#VicisArt #mastoart #art

Did some art with two friends - everyone working on their own project, but sitting together at the same giant dining room table.Perfect way to spend a very hot Sunday.#VicisArt #aquarelle #watercolor #watercolour #InkAndWash #poppy #mohn #art

For the curious, some of the reference photos used for the above artwork.The loose watercolor style is roughly inspired by Anastasia SĂ€linger's "Florale Motive" (which is a lot more loose and abstract than most of her other works seem): https://www.emf-verlag.de/buecher/malen-zeichnen/aquarell/watercolor-florale-motive-aus-wiese-wald-garten-mit-aquarell-und-fineliner/978-3-7459-1735-2

When it's too hot to even cook inside (yes, even at 8 AM) but you still need to iron clothes for next week's conference...#AScientistsLife

@jonlord I actually enjoy ironing, one of the few household tasks I don't actually actively dislike. But too hot đ„”

Scales of the Universe:Out Sun is five billion years old and will live another five billion.A star with ten times the mass, lives some twenty million years, larger stars have an even shirter lifetime.A star with half the mass of the Sun will live hundred billion years. Our universe is 13.7 billion years old -- the oldest low mass stars are not even past their teenage years yet.#VicisAstro #astrodon #SciComm #astrophysics #astronomy

We are all stardust.The oxygen you breath? That comes from dying massive stars, ending their life in a supernova.The iron in your blood? Some from massive stars dying, but mainly fron white dwarfs, the leftovers of dwarf stars like our own Sun, exploding.Carbon, the basis of life? Mostly from dying low mass stars. The gold ring on your finger? Mostly from merging neutron stars, leftovers from supernovae.#VicisAstro #astrodon #astronomy #astrophysics

Btw., if you poop on the simple things (food, hobbies, fun experiences, photos of pets or flowers, that kind of stuff...) I or people I like enjoy and share here, it's an instant block. There is little enough happiness in this world (and in the #fediverse), so the only way to deal with folks who stomp it down even more is throwing them out of the conversation.
