For the next few evenings seven of the Solar System#s planets will be visible stretching across the sky. In order left to right: Mars, Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune, Venus, and Mercury. Binoculars/Telescope/Camera needed to see Uranus and Neptune. Look from 4.20pm, south east to southwest. #AstroDon #Astronomy #Astro #Space #Astrophotography

Anyone on Mastadon a freelance sound designer/musician? I have a very small job for the podcast and would rather work with someone here than fiverr

#RSS seems to be a natural friend of the #fediverse and @danielmiessler's sentiment about it echoes my own:

"I see RSS curation like the practice of cooking one’s own meals. There’s something magical about picking specific ingredients, using custom tools to prepare them, and then consuming the output."

Definitely worth reading his entire article about this:

@kirschner My daughter, Ada (7y/o), read the first half of the hardcover edition tonight and she is absolutely loving it! She is excited to write a review of the book when she is done. :)

Looking for a workspace in London for three of us working on etextile and live codey stuff, 18-20 Jan. Any ideas/leads?

Hive mind! Can you help us with a question about books and science?

My partner is an English teacher interested in representation in young adult books. Can anyone suggest to us examples of YA/children's books with women who are scientists? Could be something you read as a child, or something you've read to your own child, or anything else...!

Please share widely! We'd really appreciate as many responses as possible.

Dear friends! I am looking for some leads for helping a couple of #juniordevs that have a non-traditional career path to get into the industry. This seems like a real challenge!

Does anyone know who is #hiring #junior #webdevs without experience, or has an #internship / #apprenticeship that doesn't require a college enrollment?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please retoot to spread the word! 😺

"#Natural" doesn't mean it's safe. Strychnine is natural too.

"No #chemicals" is impossible. Everything in nature is made out of chemical compounds.

"No #poisons". Nearly everything in nature is poisonous. It's the dose that matters. You can be poisoned by water.

"Essential oils" are not essential. It's a pretty bad misnomer.

All these words above and more, are abused by people who reject #science and try to part you from your money by using scare tactics.

Two homeless people were found frozen to death after the winter freeze we had here in Arkansas. This is one of the wealthiest countries the world has ever seen. You will never convince me that universal health care, college education, safe housing, monetary reparations for descendants of enslaved Africans, and a living wage no matter what job you hold is not possible. Yet the U.S. Congress just passed a $858 BILLION budget for military spending. https://inthesetimes.com/article/military-budget-hike-for-2023-is-3-200-times-the-nlrb-increase

The journey of galaxy clusters in billions of years

We can now see the movement of the many galaxies living in nearby superclusters - Check out this article by Paula Ferreira writing for

We started the year with fewer than 5,000 confirmed exoplanets. We end with 5,235 known worlds. About 4% are rocky planets like Earth or Mars. What will the new bring? More planets! http://exoplanets.nasa.gov

Useful reporting on TikTok:

There's disagreement among US officials on whether to force ByteDance to sell TikTok (which courts might overturn) or a negotiated plan B to restrict TikTok.

I'm finally ready for an #introduction after a few weeks exploring Mastodon.

I live on the shores of #LakeSuperior on the #Keweenaw Peninsula in the #UpperPeninsula of #Michigan. This region is within Ojibwe Gichigami (“Ojibwa’s Great Sea”) homelands and ceded-territory, established by the TREATY OF 1842

I'm an #environmental #chemist with an interest in everything related to #climate, including molecular to global aspects of the carbon cycle, energy and social transitions, new and old technologies for sustainability, forests and biodiversity, local to international climate policy, and the systems thinking approaches we need to make progress.

Too much of a news and politics junkie than is healthy.

I share my domain with a partner, a dog, several felines, two donkeys, plants, and occasional uninvited critters.

An fascinating interview with #Mastodon creator Eugen Rochko. The platform's current success isn't just the result of Elon Musk's purchase, but it's also down to years of hard work on the business and the app itself. Looking forward to seeing Mastodon's growth.
