While I love the #BloomScrolling and #CatsOfFediverse / #CatsOfMastodon tags, they are too high-traffic for my linking. I set up a gaggle of robots at https://digest.xvello.net that each boost one post at random every hour. This allows me to get a taste of these tags without overwhelming my timeline.
The posts are sourced from #FediBuzz, filtered by a simple daemon that ensures that alt-text is present and filters out sensitive contents. The bots are hosted on a #snac instance.
I'd love your feedback on it, and suggestion of tags to add next.

Recent mixed-media painting by me, called The Blue Pitcher.
Image appears a little degraded here, so you can also view it on my Pixelfed site, if you like.
Two beautiful bright golden sunflowers delight the gardener and flower lover.

"A just society is not one built on fear or repression or vengeance or exclusion, but one built on love. Love for our families. Love for our neighbors. Love for the least among us. Love for those who look different or worship differently. Love for those we don't even know." ~ John Legend
My stinky starfish flower opened! This is the most disgusting flower I've ever grown. There are flies crawling all over it and it's also covered in hair like it's made out of animal flesh.

Almost exactly a year ago, I was worried about losing her as medical stuff cropped up. And now she is having medical issues again. Appointment next week. Hopefully new meds will fix it. I took a photo of her by these same flowers last year before her vet appointment too! Ahhh cycles of life, eh? This time I'm not worried about losing her, just, general old dog problems.
I wish I could find a light purple harness I liked for her the same color as these flowers...she'd look so good in it!
Nature abhors a vacuum. But sometimes She fills it with flowers. Honesty, I could not have done this on purpose if I tried.
Happy New Year FediFriends! Keep sharing the beauty of the world around you in 2026!!

From my collection of sunflower paintings for you!
For this blue vase with yellow sunflower painting I combined colorful watercolor with black charcoal.
