Question: is there something similar to Flo Mask available in the UK? Especially in terms of masks with a seal and room for glasses. I have a very high nose bridge + a very pointy nose so a good fit is important.

I have FFP3 masks with a rubber seals and they're fantastic, but they're huge for my face and I can't wear glasses at all with them on so it's not very suitable for every day life.

I appreciate any boosts for visibility!

California's endangered winter-run Chinook salmon just had their worst spawning season ever. Scientists suspect the decline was driven by heavy feeding on anchovies, leading to thiamine deficiency. Egg-to-fry survival was the lowest ever recorded.

It's two months since I joined up properly to Mastodon, and today I've just moved the icon for my preferred app to the home page on my phone. It must be serious.

If you’re at the right place at the right time, with the right equipment, this is possible.

Last night, with guidance from https://transit-finder.com/, I positioned myself along the narrow line where the International #SpaceStation would pass between me and the nearly full moon.

I used a Fujifilm X-T4 shooting 4K video through a Celestron 8” SCT to capture the pass. Then, back at the computer this morning, put together these views with PIPP, Registax, and GIMP.

Quite pleased. My best yet.

My wife told me to take the spider out instead of killing him.

Went out. Had a few drinks. Nice guy. He's a web designer.

I have become anecdotally aware of several (smaller) mastodon instances that are considering shutting down because they cannot afford their server bills.

If you are a #mastodonadmin of an instance that is 1000+ users and considering shutting down please reach out to me.

We may be willing to take over your instance and save your users if you are compliant with the Mastodon Server Covenenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant)

This is one of the people I miss from Twitter. Has she emigrated to Mastodon?

Yes, she has!

A warm welcome to you Rachel! 🥰
I do hope you settle on Masto. You have always been an inspiration to me. Thank you.
