Snow is celebrating its victory by building triumphal arches over the only road that links us to the world. We'll see how long they'll last. #Polesia #EasternPoland
Each man kills the thing he loves—not the other way around, right?
Survived this attempt on my life back in 2008.
Cull or be killed. #Books #BookShelf.
I need help. I've been trying to find and follow Black People in the sciences, history, politics, education, and other specialties.
I've failed miserably.
Can Mastodonians point me to (for starters) Black People in epidemiology and virology? Thank you!

We didn't expect that #snowplough today, we thought we'd be stuck for at least two more days. Last night those brave guys worked till midnight to clear roads to houses where children live, so that they could go to school today. One of those rare cases when I'm not mad breathing in diesel exhaust. #Polesia #wetlands #forest #RuralLife #EasternPoland
A loss for Twitter, a win for Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@Popehat moved here.
Okay. Migrated from masthead.social to mastodon.social. Meanwhile, here's the Substack on my decision to leave Twitter.
Welcome @Popehat to Mastodonia. Ken's notes: https://popehat.substack.com/p/goodbye-twitter

In the Deepest Ocean Reaches, a Potent Pollutant Comes to Rest
“Surprising amounts of mercury settling into deep-sea trenches may provide a fuller picture of the metal’s path through the environment, but pulling it to the surface is no easy feat.”

Someone just mentioned the differences between #Twitter and #Google regarding user data. Yes, indeed.
I've worked inside #Google twice. Their explicit rules, approvals, logging and "need to know" requirements for access to user data are most impressive. Anyone even attempting to access user data inappropriately is fired and marched out the door by security. This is part of why I have a great deal of trust in Google, and consider Elon's #Twitter to be utterly untrustworthy and totally beneath contempt.
North Bend, Washington is very lushly mossy. If I were a damselfly, I would live here. #Mosstodon #Mossy #nature #wildlife #photography #wildlifephotography #MastoArt
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.
