Exactly 90 years ago today Hitler came to power. With the rise of fascism across the globe, that dark anniversary means much. It can happen anywhere. Preserving democracy is a never ending fight demanding constant vigilance from all of us.

I'm tooting this here as I can't see the original Springer Nature tweet on Mastodon.

The Inspiring Women in Science awards celebrate and support the achievements of women in science, and all those who work to encourage girls and young women to engage with STEM subjects. Springer Nature are now inviting applications for the 2023 awards: https://go.nature.com/3JmtOnJ

@zleap Very cool looking bird and that downturned beak is really stands out. We do have tons of snowy Egrets here in the Baylands as well

Someone wrote a Mastodon how-to guide for businesses.

I give this article an "A" because they give the most important advice: building a Mastodon server.

If your account is for business, you don't want to leave your business in someone else's hands. This is why it's imperative to run your own instance.

Yes, I'm also talking to the lady in the back who's selling her watercolour paintings 👩 🎨

Your livelihood is important -- don't sell yourself short!

Utah didn’t ban youth hormone therapy such as testosterone boosters for cis boys. It didn’t ban “gender affirming surgery” such as breast augmentation for cis girls.

Just for trans kids.

You know, in case you’re wondering if lawmakers are really out to “protect the children” like they claim.

Give me a break.

'Minimum service levels' will lead to maximum harm – overworked, underpaid staff seeing their rights, conditions & pay packets attacked by a draconian, anti-democratic, increasingly authoritarian Government. This #StrikesBill must fall.

Laugh in their uneducated face.

Stop fucking telling me that Trump won't be elected in 2024 so we shouldn't take him seriously. How'd that work out for us in 2016?

Hello Mastodon! 👋

Today let's do something a little different.

You might know someone who's facing something challenging and has been struggling. Maybe it's something at work, home, or just a personal goal.

A kind word from a friend or loved one can make all of the difference. It's easy to feel like we're all alone, but when someone lends encouragement it helps to lift that burden just a little

Give some encouragement to someone you care about.

You rock. Tell someone else they do too.
