Another broken Tesla (I'm not the frustrated owner) #AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMachinery #BoycottTesla #NoEpiCARicacy tho
A Model 3 Tesla parked with taillights and brake lights on full. Two signs are pasted over the numberplate. The first reads "Tesla lights not turning off" and the second mentions that a service is booked. Presume that many kind and concerned neighbours had been in touch!

A coastal scene with a beach covered in small shells, rocks of various sizes, and the ocean extending to the horizon under a partly cloudy sky.

There is no such thing as an overqualified woman. Especially when it comes to leadership. We’ve seen the same mistake over and over against where misogyny dictates electoral choices and diminishes not only our security and readiness but our democracy as well.

A yellow and brownish iris with a few blurred white flowers in the foreground. Some folk call these snowdrops - there's a bit of a resemblance but they're actually three-cornered garlic. The photo was taken in a park in a heavily treed area so it's quite dark.

Spring & summer have been unnerving in my wee garden - unseasonal plant behaviour, bulb & seed dormancy, tenacious insects, too much & too little rain, severe winds & atm relentless heat & humidity. This cosmos is from a year ago #flower #photography #climatechange #NZ 🇳🇿
Bright pink variegated cosmos, with a yellow centre surrounded by small spiked dark pink petals, backed by large flat petals with white and pale pink folds and darker pink rimming the serrated petal edges. Flower is on a black background - l accidentally clipped, it while scrolling on my phone, then liked the effect.
