I'm on a roll. I've added another article to my website. Recovering silver from scrap microfilm.

I did a thread on twitter last year as I was doing the experiments - here's it's all written up.

Here’s an interesting statement from Medium that I missed last month. Fairly stark contrast to that email newsletter platform a lot of folks are still inexplicably using. https://blog.medium.com/medium-stands-for-lgbtqia-rights-ee4d63e8052e

One of the biggest habits that humanity has to kick is that of seeing a human-free space and assuming it’s worthless/empty unless we fill it up with something. It’s happening with plans for the ocean, deforestation for “development”, talk of delivery drones filling the future sky, cube sats that will hide the stars. This “space” is the planetary engine, and it’s incredibly valuable NOW. doing all sorts of things that keep us alive & enrich our lives. We should protect it. #ocean #climate #Earth

Latest attempt to play down the ongoing global warming.
Truly desperate grasping at straws. (From the New York Post.)
As a paleoclimatologist, I don't find it reassuring that the dinosaurs lived in a hotter climate if it's not fit for homo sapiens.

Hey I'm Alicia, an artist who really hasn't been feeling social media lately (especially IG and FB) so I thought I'd try Mastodon out and see if I like the simplicity of it more. I think I picked the perfect server, since I'm much more likely to be in my sunny garden than anywhere else. 🌞

My interests include
#art #wool #dyeing #watercolor #flowarts #gardening #cats #dogs #reptiles #languagelearning #writing #reading and #mandala making.

I have a family business called Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of fibre, yarn, and fabric and I want to get into #upcycling clothes some more!

Hope I get to meet some cool people the algorithm would drown out on other apps.

#SCOTUS Justice Thomas has received benefits through his involvement with the Horatio Alger Association — “many of them previously unreported — from a broader cohort of wealthy and powerful friends,” reports NY Times. https://press.coop/@nytimes/110684171709305147

The existence of pronouns suggests the existence of an equal and parallel set of antinouns, implying that there is a large and so-far unexplored number of possible ways to express both an element of your identity and the fact that you'd rather people not talk to you at all.

I'm thinking about tribalism in social media a lot at the moment, how it ties into personal identity, and who benefits from the "us v. them" mentality that seems to be coagulating at the moment. I'm on several different social media instances at the moment and find that each scratches a particular itch others don't, whether on a personal or career level. It *can* be enervating navigating all of them, but also can offer opportunities. It's all weird and fluid now and I'm curious where it goes.

I'm 59. When I was born, segregation existed, interracial marriage was illegal and women were not allowed to have credit cars in their own names until I was 11 years old. CIVIL RIGHTS ARE A NEW THING.
