The earthworms in North America are invaders. There used to be native earthworms, but they were wiped out by glaciers around 10,000 years ago and all the current worms arrived accidentally (via humans) from Europe and Asia in the past few centuries.

And now global warming is causing “global worming”, as worms spread northwards into a warmer Arctic:

The consequences aren’t clear yet. But it’s a lot of change.

That thing where a community fork of a project, by most of the core contributors, makes you feel optimistic that the new fork is more sustainable

Most projects in the fedi are by people who do it in their spare time with little to no resources.

They still have jobs, families, and the anxiety of making a living in a very bigoted and often unfair labor market.

People get tired, frustrated, and make mistakes because the fedi is a grueling place with little to no recognition for their tools and contributions.

Yes, I believe in decent behavior, but if your morality cannot extend grace to people who are flawed but are trying, you need to ask yourself the point of your morality.

There has to be space for mistakes, sidesteps, and errors in the community. People don't stop being people when you close your browser.

And maintaining this shit is hard.

If you work in a corporate environment and you’ve had them bring in any sort of “mental health day” speaker or a person to talk about neurodivergence, what has been your experience of it? I’ve seen it done pretty badly. It was ill-informed and tokenistic and “oh well, that’s it for another year” I’m sure the HR team patted themselves on their own backs with. I just wonder if it’s any better across the world and in different companies….? Fill me in.

Allow me this bit of self-adulation, but I think this is the first (and likely the last and only 😅 ) time my name is explicitly listed on Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B6ntgen-Preis

J. J. Thomson died #OTD in 1940. He is credited with the discovery and identification of the electron, the discovery of the first subatomic particle, isotopes, and the invention of the mass spectrometer. via @wikipedia

It is 2023 and in the past 24 hours at least a dozen men have said to me some variation of "women just don't like computers."

I don't think this is even all trolling. I think they genuinely think this. And will cite "actual women I've talked to" as a source. Where are those actual women, are they in the room with us now?

Excuse me?
