@MichaelEMann QOTO is cool, it has all the toys. 65,535 character limit per Toot. LOL

I just realized that I can pin multiple posts on my profile!!!

I have three on there now. One each on #Science, #Cooking and #Academia

In short, exposure to politicians’ violent rhetoric increases support for political violence. Such rhetoric also makes political violence against the target community seem more legitimate.

So yes, we are now faced with more deaths. More trans and queer lives sacrificed to the righteousness of bathroom bills, sports bans, drag show criminalization, and "just asking questions."

I just got through the approval this morning! Took most of a week. Hello and I look forward to meeting everyone here. Seems really fresh.

Here’s one of my favorite paintings to begin. #acrylic on 2” cradled panel

I feel like it'd be a useful #fosstodon #mastodon feature to allow for some #markdown in toots. Including syntax highlighted code.

Almost 180k new users joined #mastodon yesterday, a new record. This third #twitterMigration wave happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum to #Twitter workers. Each wave is stronger than the previous one. Here is my updated plot showing the three consecutive waves.

#introduction Beloveds, I moved instances but I’m still in limbo. So there are two of me in this universe. I’m an #EarlyModern #LiteraryScholar. I specialize in #shakespeare #ShakeRace #RaceB4Race #PCRS. I’m #Arab and #FreePalestine is always on my mind.

Some thoughts on #Mastodon by Seth Godin:

"It’s a network in the real internet sense of the word: no one owns it.

It's been quite a while since I've written about the block editor in #WordPress ... Thinking of starting this blog back up https://getwithgutenberg.com and changing the name to http://theblockeditor.guide

Ripley has some questions….

"might the pandemic have the unwanted effect of suppressing immune systems generally resulting in greater vulnerability to other viral, bacterial or fungal infections — and as a result accelerating their spread?

Dr. David Joffe, an Australian physician, dubbed the idea the “Leonardi Effect.” He thought it explained “the widespread availability of previous quiescent diseases"
