The #fediverse is my happy place. I post and boost #science, #animals, #photography, #poetry and #art. I may add a little about politics and the real world, but I want to keep my happy place happy and will use #ContentWarnings if possible. I’m one of many #WomenInSTEM who love #myco and #astronomy and #coding and #philosophy and #comics and #books and #MetalMusic I #bike, play #bassguitar, and care for my #dogsandcatsofmastodon models when not working. Ich lese Deutsch. Schreiben ist schwieriger. Manchmal werde ich es versuchen.

Sunset across the glacier.
A sunbeam falls onto the rumpled ice like a spotlight, emphasising its fragility.

@gabituto1 thank you!
Blind Cat
This is Radar at the top of a 5-foot tall cat tree. He likes high places, even though he can’t see they are high. He still doesn’t want to fall! He climbs down the cat tree backwards because he can’t see where to jump.
Someday I will get a good pic or video, it is amazing and should be shared. Not having eyes doesn’t slow him down a bit!

@snarkysteff fridge clean stew is one of my favorites!
I like the addition of a cheese rind, I don’t think I’ve done that, but my soups tend toward the clear broth veggie variety, sometimes with soy sauce, curry paste and coconut milk. I’ll need to try one in this direction for variety!
It is soup season for sure!

Novice #cooks get too anxious about making #soup. Chill, Winston.
Soup is about clearing out the fridge or freezer. If you know the process & you have the basics, you can always make a great soup.
Mirepoix is the onion/celery/carrot base — & you can chop extra to freeze for future soup-making simplicity.
Today, I used onions, carrots, leeks, garlic, a can each of diced tomatoes & white beans, pesto, a cheese rind, & stock for this.

Babe, wake up, a new #JWST image just dropped.
Light from the protostar L1527 escapes above and below an edge-on protoplanetary disk (the dark line at the center of the image), creating an hourglass shape. This illuminates the cavities carved as ejected material from the star collides with the surrounding, dusty nebula.
Dust scatters shorter wavelengths of light, so blue areas are where the dust is thinner and orange areas are where the dust is more dense.

The Downy Woodpecker is the smallest and cutest of the #woodpeckers. It also has the most effective tunnel vision. If you are between it and a bug, it will fly directly at your face and trust you to get out of the way.

How to Catch a Mountain Lion
an illustrative guide
1. Place a cardboard box where the animal frequently visits.
2. Sit back and wait.
3. A cat is a cat is a cat.

I just can’t wrap my head around that. I know, we’re trying to talk about how strong we are and how good we can be to each other, but I keep thinking of the #climatecrisis and #wealthgap and #biodiversityloss and yet we keep making more people. I want to be proud and strong but I think I’m mostly just worried.
@ivanvector hmm, hadn’t thought about eye contact. I’ll take that into consideration in the future.

Is #MineralMonday a thing on here? If not can we make it a thing please 😅 here’s some gorgeous Mexican crazy lace agate to brighten your day! Agate is a type of fibrous microcrystalline silica (quartz) known as chalcedony 🖤 #geology

The beauty of cloud inversions in the mountains - when colder air is trapped beneath a warmer layer - is that it feels like you're dialing back time to an earlier season as you rise, climbing from a frigid winter day of fog and rain to the sunlit spread of autumn you'd almost forgotten about.

I was going to grumble about mastadon’s excellent filter system, but you are right.
I’m not on board with putting a CW in front of every cat or dog photo or science article… but I want people to mostly follow me for the cute/pretty/interesting things and not the politics.
Easy enough to repost with a CW and a citation, until the capability to CW boosts happens.
