There is a new CPBBD up. He mentions ant seed dispersal and there is a shot with a bunch of butterflies. No ant cameos sadly.

There is a turtle shell. But the best part are the baby cactus.

As always he's way too excited by drought tolerant agave family plants.

"Religion does not act in a vacuum; nor need it dominate other facets of identity. In the early Christian persecutions, inter-religious competition proves much more important to later (Christian) writings that sought to make the everyday more providential than it ever was on the ground. "

The oligarchs want us to be disgusted with politics.

They love that Tr*mp makes it so nasty.

They love that people say "plague on both your houses" and tune out.

They don't have to suppress votes that aren't cast.

One thing I’ve lost in moving away from Twitter are all those people I followed in #Africa.

*Who should I be following on here who currently lives in a country in Africa? If they are doing tech, even better!*

I’m not interested those who now live in US/EU, to be clear.

Please do #repost so I can reach the answers

👋 Hello, new followers! We stopped posting on our fairly active Twitter account more than a year ago and moved here. We're the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia, both a university museum and the official state art museum. We celebrated our 75th birthday this year, and we have a collection of over 18,000 objects: American paintings, decorative arts, works on paper, much more. Mastodon feels like a good place for us given our academic and public focus. ❤️

Due to the rightward shift in US state level policies on #LGBTQIA rights and abortion, #Canada issued a travel advisory to its citizens. Deplorables' feelings are hurt. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/24/canada-us-travel-advisory-00132936

A Harvard study says that hospitals purchased by private equity firms are less safe. I can see that. There was a local nursing home owned by a New York City hedge fund that abruptly closed its doors. Luckily, a group of local investors bought it and reopened it as an assisted living facility. But many such facilities are left to rot. https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2023/12/26/healthcare-private-equity-hospital-harvard/9221703618874/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

“You got the stuff?”
“You got my money?”
“I wanna see them first.”
“Here you go, 50 squeaky toys.”
“How’s the quality?”
“100% pure, unchewed.”
“Santa won’t notice them missing?”
“You let me worry about that.”
