“Night is the wonderful opportunity to take rest, to forgive, to smile, to get ready for all the battles that we have to fight tomorrow.”
Good night everyone!

#Wetlands are wet, they are happy. Our #dogs, #IdąPsięta, are wet, some are happy, some not. Our bedsheets will suffer from the canine vectored transfer of wetness. We're not happy about that, but generally we're happy. #DogsOfMastodon #Polesia
@JamesGleick Yes. I am literally looking at the chapter I'm working on in my upcoming book on germ theory when vaccination first gets figured out. I'm about to tell the TB microbe story, and segue into the cholera pandemic--and the public health idea that flowed from identifying V. cholerae.
It was all understood then as perhaps the greatest single advance in human flourishing ever. (It was and is).
And these vicious, power-hungry idiots are throwing it away.
@abraham_m Wild tooting should be called tooticking.
Horrendous story of how a scholar’s work was lifted from his blog and published by another scholar as her own. For context, the blogger is highly respected and has made numerous contributions to manuscropt studies via his blog, which is his main publication platform.

The secret Alberta’s government kept for 799 days
Information like this should never be kept secret. It’s a threat to democracy. It’s breaking the law. https://thenarwhal.ca/alberta-energy-capp-lobbying-foi/

To every person who’s posting some kind of 2022 year-in-review with any version of: oh I’m so happy 2022 was the year the pandemic ended / we got to travel again / things went back to normal…
Ok, listen. First, the pandemic is not over. It’s as bad as ever. People are NOT safe unmasked, indoors, in public — they are simply brainwashed into thinking it’s safe to get COVID over & over. (The science is clear it’s not. If you “disagree”, please go look at some recent statistical data.)

Dieses Foto (Netzfund) bringt für mich die Sache auf den Punkt:

I finished the font! You can download it on OpenGameArt for use in your own projects:

In addition to just looking cool (because Textura is always cool), it can optionally (and if your art program supports it) automatically apply a bunch of abbreviations and variants to make Latin text look more authentic.
At last, a positive use of golf courses. Turning them into natural spaces open to everyone to enjoy, and a buffer for nature.
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.

I check facts before I toot.
I sometimes toot in Polish.
