Just a reminder to all those #BirdSite users: You are paying for Twitter like a serf pays their overlord for the tools to harvest the wheat from his fields.

Water connects us all – and that couldn't be more true than with the international SWOT mission, which was jointly developed by @nasa and @CNES with contributions from @csa_asc and @spacegovuk.
Follow along! SWOT is set to launch on Dec. 15. #TrackingWorldWater

I’ve shown a few photos of Liomaid here, but haven’t shared any of Nixie (other than my profile pic) since moving from Instagram. Here’s one of my all-time favourite Nixie pics.

I’m currently the only one left in the clinic, thumbing through outside paper records that could only be received by fax due to incompatible electronic medical record systems between hospitals, painstakingly reading through about 100 pages of outside records, and hand entering the relevant data into our electronic record system, in case anyone’s curious the state of the U.S. #healthcare system…

I think I'm resigned to switching instances when I start my holidays. I just don't see a path forward on my current instance where they keep things up to date (too many decisions made in the past preventing updates with their custom changes). Bummed to leave behind my history but curious to see how the process of moving works.
At this point the only thing that remains is deciding on a new server. Thinking with Hachyderm, IndieWeb or my alt act Jawns.
A suggestion (inspired by @meganmariehart): If an organization hosts a profile of you on their website and includes social share buttons, ask them to create a button to take people to your #Mastodon account. Also, even without such a button, have them include your mastodon feed in your contact information. #fediverse #twittermigration
The son of an Ethiopian academic is suing Meta, claiming that his father, a Tigrayan professor, was gunned down in November 2021 after he was targeted on Facebook with hateful and inaccurate posts. He said he tried to get Facebook to remove some of the problematic content — including a post with a photo of his father — but he didn’t receive a response until after his father was killed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/13/ethiopia-slain-professor-lawsuit-meta-kenya/
Viewing the death penalty as wrong -- so obviously wrong that I scarcely know how to articulate it -- was probably the first recognizably "political" opinion I ever had.
Hell yes.

Justice is not advanced by taking a life, and the state should not be in the business of executing people— even if a terrible crime placed them in prison. Today I am commuting all death sentences in Oregon to life without parole, so we no longer have anyone facing execution here.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
