I am trying to find my people on Mastodon. Can you please boost this if you:
-Believe that blueberries could be bigger and that farmers are simply not working hard enough to grow massive blueberries.
-Lie awake at night wondering if squirrels are sad when they forget where they buried their acorns.
-Think restaurants should legally be required to participate in Taco Tuesday.
-Find Tilda Swinton to be terrifying yet oddly attractive.
-Know that you could defeat 50 Smurfs in hand-to-hand combat.
@lowqualityfacts Since you follow then unfollow accounts like you're some big deal (this is the SECOND time you've done this to me!!), I suggest you take your shit back to the #BirdApp buh-bye!
Jaaaaysus
Anyone still on #birdapp should bail because it's about to become a terrifying hell scape.
(Alt text - Elon saying hes removing blocking on twitter since it makes no sense. You can still block in DMs)
For those of you grieving the communities you've lost on other platforms...
You're not starting from scratch, you're starting from experience.
You know who you are, and you know what you need. You already have a vision of what a healthy supportive community looks like, now you just have to cast about and draw those people together.
And you are doing that on a platform of people so excited to reach out and find YOU too.
@JulieB@vlrny Yes, I definitely feel like I am still foraging for my people! But TBH #birdapp had been hiding my people from me for so long, that I was just used to the toxic rantings as you so rightly put it!
In the meantime, I'm searching for #veterinary#farming#academicchatter#climatechange and #education people.....but many other things too, like #discworld 🤔
The loss of access to Twitter data under the new pricing plan was a dire blow to our research at the UW-CIP.
Now being forced to delete the data that dozens of people spent years collecting, curating, and studying—outrageous. It’s like burning lab notebooks, an attack on science for the sake of pure malice.
(UPDATE: it appears that the deletion mandates may not apply to us given our data use, but they are still devastating to the groups affected.)
I used to post these over on the now dead to me #BirdApp.
I'm gonna continue that tradition by encouraging everyone across the #Fediverse to vote, no matter if it's a local or national election, just vote!! #Oregon#VoteByMail
In my spare time I like to browse the vast #NASA image archives to create #3D models and #animations like this one.
Back on #birdapp I really enjoyed connecting with engineers and scientists from around the world. I hope we can build an even better community over here!
