We are asking our #dogs, #IdąPsięta, not do anything dangerous today. There's no way we could drive them to the vet.
Ej, laski, halp, potrzebuję feministycznej książki dla błyskotliwej siedemnastolatki. Trochę jestem w kropce, bo to już taki wiek, że raczej nie opowieści dla dziewczynek czy jakieś młodzieżowe rzeczy, a nie wiem, czy jak jej dam bell hooks, to nie umrze od tego z nudów. Są tu jakieś młodsze osoby, albo rodzice osób w takim krytycznym wieku, to może coś pomogą ciotce Adamczyk na prezent wybrać, co?
Short-Eared Owl
Late winter and into early spring sees some of the raptors that breed on Mull returning to their territories.
I had been watching hen harriers for much of the day, doing their sky-dancing courtship displays, when this short-eared owl burst out of the undergrowth, and firmly grabbed my attention.
As it flew past me, it turned its head to look right at me. What a stunning bird.

Wow... #ElonMusk is apparently very worried about #Mastodon taking his customers.
I merely replied to #EltonJohn's tweet that he was leaving #TheBirdSite with an invite to join us here, and my tweet got FLAGGED for "Sensitive Content."
I think the only people "sensitive" about this content are the folks worried about losing customers to the competition.
A couple of solar companies are pursuing this intriguing idea: just lay the solar panels on the ground. Eliminating all the racking & tracking hardware saves about 20% up front, which is enormous. Excited to see if this works long-term. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/solar/a-100mw-solar-farm-in-texas-will-mount-panels-directly-on-the-ground
#Baturday is for learning about bats! This time of year, our Canadian bats are hibernating. This short video gives insight on what that means for bats in #Alberta. The cluster of bats shown in the preview slide includes the banded Little Brown Myotis who was found to be 39 years old! #Hibernation is a critical time for bats.

Heavy snow can break branches, and we want to keep those trees, as they shield us from the road. It's good to have a supply of 6 m (20 ft) aluminium masts which we normally use for our #RuralBroadband installations – they're great for removing some of that snow. The dogs have no idea what's going on, but enjoy it.
Pines are covered with heavy snow, but the ground underneath them is still free of it. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon #Polesia #winter
That's how you start an abstract:
"In the beginning it was simple: we injected a protein antigen and studied the immune responses against the purified protein. This elegant toolbox uncovered thousands of mechanisms via which immune cells are activated. However, when we consider immune responses against real infectious threats, this elegant simplification misses half of the story: the infectious agents are typically evolving orders-of-magnitude faster than we are."
"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights."
Auschwitz stands as a symbol of rejection of human rights. On Human Rights Day we must remember about our moral responsibility for others.
Freedom, equality & human rights should be protected every single day.

The weird wolves of #Polesia – our #IdąPsięta pack of #DogsOfMastodon, warily exploring the strange new environment that fell on them during the night.
Living in the #wetlands of #Polesia (also spelled #Polesie) in #EasternPoland. Surrounded by #bogs and #forests, trying not to fuck up surrounding nature too much.
Taking care of a small pack of #dogs – #IdąPsięta.
Luddite working with hi-tech.
#RuralBroadband provider by accident. Starting a small LoRaWAN project to monitor our wetlands. Coding in #Python. Dealing with dirty data, cleaning them when time allows.
#Atheist. I don't *believe* in #science – science is the *only* thing that protects us from belief.
Fuck nazis.
My account on Twitter is still up, for good reasons. https://twitter.com/szescstopni
I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
Zdolny, ale leniwy.
