What dos inclusive weirdness look like?

For the science-lover and nature-ecstatic in your life, botanical, astronomical, and natural history illustrations from centuries-old books turned into backpacks and pillows, prints and puzzles, notebooks and fanny packs, benefitting The Nature Conservancy https://mailchi.mp/themarginalian/vintage-science-gift-guide

And now for a close up.

One of the Machrie Moor Standing Stones looming magnificently in front a blue sky and fluffy clouds.

What a beauty.

“In 2020, as car travel plummeted around the world, traffic fatalities broadly fell as well. But in the U.S., the opposite happened. Travel declined, and deaths still went up.” https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/27/upshot/road-deaths-pedestrians-cyclists.html?unlocked_article_code=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEIPuonUktbfqYhlSVUZBCbIRcMnqQHBn__GzPkwi3biLDPQUTtOwv8JGYmJ_VyIbrtoY9oowy_dRMNENPVnYs1O-dJlHh4nTRi08NzDkY4ZIi4xpMXrDzpn08-TB_VgqWa6KzTgdro6lefl51fcYTbtC6PZgSEkcwp1sNAyIwHRrH8Dx6nPG_ckmYUtmKd8We0pAGsIdyKIvPL3Cx1hO9vgbh7U6gA-Wu4xSiiE1JfHqOpGKFMOfAqAGHBv4m8868dfO8cUPMv8KB0jecn8htYBGwgIloTqyaHtcso3n_qyQKw&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Have you ever seen an oak tree dance?

Britain is full of 'lost' rainforests, predominantly in the southwest and northwest of England, west Wales and the west coast of Scotland. There are other areas where the conditions are perfect too, like this one in the Peak District National Park.

When the rain starts and the cloud base drops into the rainforest, the trees come alive. Everywhere you look, there is magic and mystery.

On the question of quitting Twitter, I side with Sarah Kendzior over @Jelaniya: She says one must not cede territory in an information war. He says, "To the extent that people remain active on Twitter, they preserve the fragile viability of Musk’s gambit." I think Musk will sink his own ship (to further mangle his "leaden pun") and I stay to resist and to maintain relationships in hopes of reestablishing them here and perchance to outlast Musk's cash. https://apple.news/AvbRKXLn2TxWcg2KAq6p-gQ

I finally got around to reading @timbray 's "Bye, Twitter" blog post that everyone's rightfully sharing, and the last paragraph of this section resonated.

I have learned that new Mastodon users should do an #introduction.

I’m a hyperoverprivileged straight cis white greybearded neurotypical male. Living in Vancouver, Canada with loved ones.

I’m old.

I can’t not write, as evidenced by the 2+ million words on my blog at https://www.tbray.org/ongoing and also “timbray” on Twitter.

Tl;dr: Geek and environmentalist. For details, type my name into your favorite Web search, I’m overly public.

Generalization of the law of sines for a cyclic quadrilateral:

MASTODON TIP OF THE DAY: You can turn on a submenu on the Notifications column in the advanced web interface to Mastodon! (see first image).

This submenu lets you filter your notifications feed in seven different ways (all, mentions, favourites, boosts, poll results, updates from people you follow with the bell, and follows).

To turn it on, click on the little slidey-bars icon in the upper-right hand corner of the Notifications column, then turn on "Display all categories" (see second image).

What would you like to see in an OS that is specifically for people with learning difficulties?

Mastadon, is that you? I’m Kara, a wine writer based in Charlotte, NC. My fascinations are French and Eastern European wine at the moment. I make educational content on IG and write a monthly newsletter about myths and misconceptions in wine. I haven’t figured this space out but appreciate the folks who are already here building community!

So, the European Union has set up its own Mastodon instance, EU Voice, as an official channel/platform for all its many institutions - what a great initiative https://social.network.europa.eu/about

Dear #Mastotribe

I will not be online [at all] from tomorrow until Jan 2023. [Scheduled posts will go on if youre on Fb]. The website will be down for 10 days or so in mid Dec. If you check back by end of year, it will be restored. Will not be available on email either.

So I wish you all a good end of 2022 and a start to the new year that is in the best interests of your mind

You've each been lovely.
May you attain the full luminosity of your minds

Thread: 2.1/x

Some of the biggest questions we humans like to ask are, “Is there life out there in the universe?” and “Are there other solar systems out there with planets just like ours?” To answer these questions, astronomers have built larger & more advanced telescopes to try to find #Planets outside of our own neighborhood, specifically those similar to our own world.
