🚀✨ In a world where programmers can't simply write their own tree traversal functions, the desperate plea for a "tree traversal primitive" echoes throughout the digital wilderness. 🌳🤦‍♂️ Because clearly, the only thing stopping developers from untangling the spaghetti in their code is the lack of a native tree-hugging loop. 🥴🙌

This morning I walked down to a quiet area for qigong. I have been interested in learning about the practice for over a decade. At the end I give the tree a hug. For me its like hugging God. Does anyone here practice qigong? #qigong #practice #movement #meditation #treehugging

Guess what? Another day on the island, and it’s been a peaceful one! No mass shootings, murders, or any other gory stuff. Sure, my character is holding an axe in the screenshot, but the only violence that happened today was against trees.

The image depicts a serene night scene from the video game "Animal Crossing." A character with dark hair and wearing a blue knit hat adorned with snowflake patterns and a green coat is standing on a snowy terrain. They appear to be holding an axe. Above them, a crescent moon shines brightly in a deep blue sky, illuminating stunning green and purple auroras. In the foreground, there's a patch of red and white flowers, contrasting with the snow-covered ground. A large, dark rock is also visible, adding to the tranquil, wintry atmosphere.

@whknott True. The same in #SMStirling's books as well. And I even I saw a future where humanity (at least in the US) was divided between #TreeHugging #Pagan types and #ChristoFascists. And that was before #OctaviaButler -- in the 1980s! It was titled "State of the Art" because civilization comes to a grinding halt at a certain point of our 'development'. In "State of The Art" and my other semi-prescient book of the events leading up to it ("The Kosmos"), it was an extraterrestrial civilization that kept us in our place -- to prevent us from destroying the biosphere and spreading the disease of capitalism and colonialism to other worlds.

“Part of me now feels I need to step up my game for the world championships… I will have to bring out my fairy wings and my ukulele and go singing to the trees.”

A woman wearing flowing clothing in various shades of blue, a garland on her head, and a ukulele slung across her back, hugs a moss-covered tree in woodland.

The country that has brought us the World Championships of Air Guitar (in Oulu, Finland), the Swamp Soccer World Championships, and many more fun events also has a colorful history with tree hugging contests. In fact, in Levi, in the Arctic region of #Lapland you can join the annual #Treehugging World Championships, organized in August.

Last time I heard something along the lines of #KeirStarmer's "I hate #treehuggers" was in 2009 when I was thrown out of the London #Surfing club after bringing up that #flying London to Newquay (450km) wasn't quite in sync with the #aloha spirit. Resonse? Dixit: "#TREEHUGGING BANNED. ANY HUGGER WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST." If #Labour goes the same way, #VoteGreen💚 ! Here a reminder of the courageous origins of treehugging in #India & the Bishnoi people massacre. https://bylinetimes.com/2023/07/10/come-clean-keir-did-you-really-disparage-tree-huggers/

Anyone in the #PioneerValley want a young American Elm? We have like a dozen in our yard, and since they're pretty rare, we'd rather find them a home than just pull them.

UPDATE: it's a slipoery elm. Still native, but much more common.
