Dragon and Mouse โ Le Pont-de-Claix, France
By Braga Last1, this clever piece features a green dragon painted to fit perfectly into the hollowed-out holes of a brick wall, peeking out with curiosity at a small painted mouse nearby. Itโs a charming use of urban textures and playful narrative placement.
A tiny red dragon seems to have scorched the side of a building, cleverly incorporating real fire damage. This playful piece by Oakoak turns decay into storytelling, showing the dragon mid-roar.
Surprise Birthday Party (Introvert Style) โ Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
Drawn by David Zinn, this whimsical chalk art features a small dragon playfully lying on its back as a mouse approaches. Fallen orange leaves are used as part of the dragonโs breath or laughter.
In tribute to Akira Toriyama, this mural features Shenron the dragon alongside iconic Dragon Ball characters. Bold colors and anime-style linework make it pop against the street setting.
Falkor the Luckdragon โ Outside Barcelona, Spain
This mural by DavidL features a surreal, exaggerated depiction of Falkor from The NeverEnding Story. The creature bursts through a decaying wall with a toothy grin, oversized amber eyes, and flowing white facial hairโmelding fantasy nostalgia with the texture of urban decay.
French artist Scaf painted this striking 3D mural of Shenron, the wish-granting dragon from Dragon Ball, across the angular facade of a red brick building.

@ghim727 son d'accordo. Alessandro per le voci ha scritto cose che da cantarsi sono strepitose, emotivamente sempre forti, sempre piene di inventiva. I madrigali alla sua epoca erano molto fuori moda, me ne scrisse otto, a cinque voci, che valgono assolutamente come i mottetti di Bach.
Mi sveglio in quella che penso essere piena notte e faccio quelle tremila cose che ieri sera avevo deciso che avrei fatto se mi fossi alzato nel cuore della notte. Finito di fare tutto, mi accorgo che รจ appena l'una e mezzo. Quando ieri sera sono andato a dormire non so che ora fosse. Di sicuro le dieci erano passate. Il vicino aveva appena smesso di urlare improperi all'indirizzo del televisore, evidentemente era finita una partita di calcio, da @Ciubekka avevo scoperto essere stata una partita fra Inter e Bayern, al che mia moglie mi aveva chiesto se fosse una partita di Champions ma neanche sapevo bene che cosa questo termine significasse.
C'รจ uno strato di polvere sulla sella Nell'angolo dove il tempo รจ fermo e ordinato Lo sguardo scorre gli schermi giorno dopo giorno Mentre il suo vecchio amico se ne sta seduto tranquillo La cromatura non cattura piรน la luce Dal giorno in cui ha ricevuto la porta del medico
Alcune libertร cambiano ma non scompaiono Quando le strade si rimodellano, nuovi percorsi diventano chiari E ogni giovedรฌ sera ci incontriamo ancora Ruote diverse ma la stessa vecchia strada (Stessa vecchia strada, stessi vecchi amici)
Mi sta insegnando cose che non ho mai saputo Sui sistemi e sui codici che passano attraverso Le sue dita danzano sui tasti ora Invece di afferrare le maniglie in qualche modo Ma i suoi occhi hanno ancora quella scintilla dentro Quando mi mostra i mondi dove puรฒ cavalcare
Alcune libertร cambiano ma non scompaiono Quando le strade si rimodellano, nuovi percorsi diventano chiari E ogni giovedรฌ sera ci incontriamo ancora Ruote diverse ma la stessa vecchia strada (Stessa vecchia strada, stessi vecchi amici)
Fratello, ti vedo trovare la tua strada Attraverso le strade tortuose di un giorno diverso Il tuo spirito รจ forte come sempre Andando avanti, solo perchรฉ
Il garage puรฒ essere silenzioso, ma amico Il tuo cuore ruggisce ancora piรน forte che puรฒ
Alcune libertร cambiano, ma non scompaiono. Quando le strade si ridisegnano, nuovi percorsi diventano chiari E ogni giovedรฌ sera ci incontriamo ancora Ruote diverse ma la stessa vecchia strada (Stessa vecchia strada, stessi vecchi amici)
i pappi dei pioppi sono ovunque, tu chiudi la porta di casa e loro ti aspettano fuori per entrare appena la rapri, conoscono ingressi di casa tua che tu nemmeno immagini, si attaccano ai tuoi vestiti per ricomparire quando apri il frigo, tutti li odiano, ma sotto i pioppi nasceranno i tartufi, sicchรฉ pago pegno e sorrido ai pappi.
giร ? Ma sai che ho idea, leggendo i tuoi post, che qui siamo sempre un paio di settimane in ritardo su tutto? Saranno le zone climatiche... Oggi ho visto il primissimo pappo in avanscoperta! ๐
@Puck io sono in ritardo sui liguri, che sono piรน a nord di me... e i miei genitori che stanno a 9km da me, ma 8n collina, sono in anticipo su di me che sto nella valle buia dell'umido e del gelo ๐
con lษ amichett* da piccol* a volte ne bruciavamo i cumuli che si formavano ai piedi dei muri, facevano una vampatona di un attimo e bom, era divertente, comunque stavamo attent* che non ci fosse altra roba infiammabile vicino, lo giuro.
Da Wikipedia: ยซSecondo gli atti conservati presso l'Archivio Storico di Torino, il primo progetto per l'installazione di fontanelle in cittร risale al 23 aprile 1861 ad opera dell'allora ingegnere capo della cittร di Torino Edoardo Pecco; nel documento vengono individuati 81 punti d'erogazione d'acqua per usi vari (potabile, irriguo, antincendio, ecc.) e viene specificato che alcuni di essi faranno della decorazione il loro principale oggetto. In data 27 marzo 1862 la Giunta comunale delibera l'installazione di 21 fontanelle d'acqua potabile, la prima delle quali viene installata nel popolare Borgo San Donato; sono allegati all'atto i prospetti dei nuovi erogatori, che nei disegni presentano giร compiutamente la forma "a torรจt" ancora oggi in usoยป.

can someone explain to me why we need a separate image sharing site when mastodon already has this feature? I am confused, as I always have been about why insta needed to exist in the first place.
Something to learn about the Fediverse is that itโs not about โneedโ itโs about desire. No one needs to make anything but if devs desire to make it, then it will be madeโsimple as that.
Mastodon may have some elements of image-sharing but thatโs a secondary feature. Even then, its image-sharing abilities are limited and will always be subservient to being a Twitter-like microblog.
Pixelfedโs primary purpose is image-sharing, and text is secondary. In fact, you canโt just share text in Pixelfedโtext-only posts are filtered out.
Many people also prefer the UI/UX of Pixelfed over Mastodon, and their preference is simply their preference. They wonโt use Mastodon just because Mastodon can share images.
Nevertheless, Mastodon is made better when it can communicate with different ActivityPub-enabled platforms.
with all the folks lauding the move to #Pixelfed I'm gonna have to set a hard limit - the creator is transmisic and a gaslighter, and demonstrably gives zero shits about safety and ethics.
@bouncinglime @KristinHenry Multiple times, youโve tried to hijack my mentions by sending this exact same message. The last time I replied to you, you did not reply back.
I now regard you as a spammer, and I donโt tolerate spam.
@KristinHenry Yep, they sent me this exact message previously. They did not reply when I responded to them. And when someone behaves like that, itโs downright spammy.
@snrub Yeah, Iโve seen it. Itโs got a nice UI but Iโm paranoid about giving any web app my private key. So until thereโs a mobile app, Iโm not logging in.
No offense. But, the interaction on these services is next to none. Mastodon is limited enough. But, Pixelfed and so on is next to zero. Which shows me that even the people using Mastodon aren't using these other services. Noble cause? Perhaps. But, I would hate to be the one investing time and money.
@LScottSpencer Sorry, what do you mean interaction is next to none? So far today, I have over 1,600 interactions on this post alone. Hell, youโre talking to me right now.
@LScottSpencer Well, Pixelfed just released its mobile app last week. It takes time to build a community there, but it double in size over the last month โ so itโs coming along nicely.
Peertube is a different story because video is quite expensive, which means the bulk of server owners limit registrations on their servers โ which also limits the network effect.
All that said, you can build a bustling community on all those services but the skillset is quite different from a service like Threads. You cannot depend on figuring out with the algorithm likes, and thus scale your content for maximum engagement. Instead, you have to take the pre-algorithmic approach of building relationships with people instead of hoping a bunch of randos will just suddenly find your content in their feed.
Also, scrolling through your posts I can see that interaction on most is pretty low. When you post specifically about fediverse stuff, it's higher. That's a VERY specific interest group that makes sense on THIS very niche platform.
Itโs not about number of interactions. Itโs about talking to people who care.
You see, I know exactly what to say to get stuff to go viral on the Fediverse, but most of the time I choose not to. And actually, I often delete stuff because it goes viral.
The few people who comment on my posts about campy sci-fi and horror movies? Those comments mean something to me.
Less is less. And of course talking about the fediverse gets views on Mastodon. Give me a break dude. I've been around for a while. That nonsense ain't gonna ride with me. You know the difference between 300 million and 2 million. If you're happy, that's fine. Don't spin any yarn for me. Cause that's what you're doing.
Tech noob here - is Pixelfed a separate app, or somehow part of the basic mastodon view? I'd like to see some screenshots of how it looks in use. (^_^)*
I would also love to figure out how to be able to write longer posts in here.
Is there a way for me to connect all of my accounts for these (and other Fediverse services) under one user-account roof while the services and instances all remaining decentralized)?
Thanks for letting me know. I wish I could contribute to the effort. I'm not much of a programmer though. I'm more into user testing, GUI critiquing, visual composition critiquing, etc. Basically, if the people working on that effort need someone with a good eye for visual layouts and critiquing user experience, I'd be happy to help them out with that!

In the office, we adopted a cat and named him Connor. He's officially employed by the company to hunt mice and provide emotional support to the staff. We even provide him with a salary that we use to buy him food and toys.
But last month, we hired a new guy, also named Connor. And to avoid confusion, we started calling him "Human Connor."
Human Connor then suggested we rename the cat "Cat Connor" and let him be just Connor. But, of course, that was ridiculous. Connor was here first and, by seniority, he outranks him in the company's hierarchy. So no, he remains "Human Connor."](https://poliverso.org/photo/preview/640/42198391 ": Anonymous 03/29/25(Sat)23:17:40 No.80801575
