My Sunday Burial of Zombies & the Dead.

Today I checked my Followers & Following lists to see how many are long term inactive (nothing posted since 1-4-23) & saw there were some.
So I removed all of them!

I made no distinctions between who was a prominent commentator or not.
I'm not impressed by numbers on my profile any more, if you aren't 'alive & on Mastodon' then you are a z ombie or dead! So you are gone!

Because I only want to be with people who are active, here & now!

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits - the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum.

Fantastic neolithic underground burial complex. In use for over 1000 years, and excavated with bone and horn tools, the complex once housed 7000 bodies. For conservation reasons, visitor numbers are limited and there is no photography: the photos in my Flickr album were found on the web and uploaded for illustrative purposes.
