Rupert 🇪🇺🏴‍☠️😾🔭📷🍺🍪🌍🔥<borrowed>Hello there...every day that I use Mastodon, I like to list three things that I like as a contribution towards a positive online space, as well as my own headspace. If you did this today, what would feature on your list?</borrowed>1. The day spent at a local 'fun day' with a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Lifeboat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lifeboat</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/RNLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RNLI</a> stall, a bit of money raised, more importantly the word spread and some beach safety advice given.2. Back home, tired, but welcomed by good aromas from the slow cooker.3. Relaxing in bed, thinking through the day, writing <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/3GoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3GoodThings</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Today</a>, some deep breaths and soon to sleep...

NormanDunbarGood morning fellow Mastos and hello Monday. After a nice weekend, the weather has gone cold and windy overnight. Never mind. Yesterday's trip out was fun. We visited Anstruther, Pittenweem and Elie on "MrsD's birthday journey of discovery" in Fife. We managed an ice cream on the beach too! MrsD enjoyed her birthday. More exploring today.Whatever you are doing today, have fun and laughs. Take care.Today's photo is from Anstruther, it looks like a brand new lifeboat for the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/RNLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RNLI</a>.

Rupert 🇪🇺🏴‍☠️😾🔭📷🍺🍪🌍🔥Well I've been here for two years so time for a little review.Have totally abandoned and actively avoid the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/xitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xitter</a> site. Confess a modest time spent on <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#facebook</a> almost entirely to promote/follow a couple of charities that are close to my heart, especially <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/RNLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RNLI</a> Have no desire to join any algorithm based system however blue the sky.Kinda like the way the toots fly off into the ether and sometimes folk react, and sometimes not. Hoping I manage to spread a little happiness and bring a few smiles to people's faces.I really should do more than boost, especially in relation to the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ClimateEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateEmergency</a>, after all I do have a Masters in Sustainability and Adaptation.So today's thought for the day: we've probably lost <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/1point5c" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#1point5c</a>, <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/COP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#COP</a> needs some urgent reform, <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/bigoil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bigoil</a> is relentless in it's lobbying, but we mustn't give up hope.

RNLI: Out On A ShoutThis is an automatic account, which checks every 10 minutes or so to see if there has been a lifeboat launch by the RNLI, and if there has, posts the location and time of the launch.<a href="https://rnli.org/what-we-do/lifeboats-and-stations/latest-lifeboat-launches" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rnli.org/what-we-do/lifeboats-and-stations/latest-lifeboat-launches</a>I know a lot of people were very fond of the equivalent bot on twitter/X, so I made this one for you to follow and not miss out.Please boost to spread the word!

Jon HancockI've been following this bot account for a little while. It's interesting to see how often the boats are called out, but over the past 48 hours or so, with two dramatic and powerful storms battering the country, it's been humbling to watch. Lifeboat crews are mainly unpaid volunteers.<a href="https://botsin.space/@OutOnAShout/111510230254015301" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://botsin.space/@OutOnAShout/111510230254015301</a><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/RNLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RNLI</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Lifeboats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lifeboats</a>

SomersetWhovian 🇺🇦💙<a href="https://mstdn.social/@hollybrigstocke" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@hollybrigstocke</a> The <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RNLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RNLI</a> do vital work. I agree with you, to some extent: given the current Tory rhetoric over asylum-seekers I fear that government funding could cause them to be pressured not to rescue people from small boats. It's the logical extension of their hateful policies.
