Hi fedi travelers (or residents), a would appreciate a little advice; I'm going to a meeting in #Barcelona, lots of science but also enough free time that I want to wander around. Where should I go and where MUST I go?

I have tickets for a tour of Sagrada Familia, I want to see the Miro foundation and the Museu d'Arqueologia de #Catalunya so I guess I should have gotten a hotel closer to Montjuic mountain right?

What I really like is history; #Roman, #Islamic and actually ancient. Any ideas? I'm staying near the convention center and my knees suck. Also I don't speak #Catelan or Spanish really, I've been listening to coffee break #Espanol for a month but it's sticking well.

Thanks!

hey pocket friends!

A friend of mine had to leave her home due to #trans hate. She and her partner have made a fundraising bundle of zines and games to help them get safely housed. Pay what you want for 44 items!

If you can't give, please boost & spread the link! thank you 💕 !

But I do wish I could have known what she was like when she was young and healthy! She had six kids and took care of her elderly mother-in-law and intellectually disabled brother-in-law while also helping her husband to run a farm.

Her workload was enormous and lasted for nearly her entire adult life. I wish she could have had an easier time.

I had a relative who developed Alzheimer’s disease late in life. She lived with this disease for a long time, so my only memories of her are after she began having symptoms. I loved her very much, though. 💜

It’s amazing that we now have a tool to help us know in advance who might have this disease.

Good morning people of the interwebs

I wish you a good day today.

Let's tackle this Monday as best we can, shall we?

I like this. It’s playful and atmospheric.

(I will now go back to waiting until autumn is actually here to start celebrating Halloween. 👻)
