"On 3 separate occasions during the fall and winter, reporters witnessed Norfolk Southern trains blocking intersections leading to an elementary, a middle and a high school for 4, 6 and 7 hours. @ProPublica and InvestigateTV showed footage of kids making the crossing, including an elementary student crawling under a train, to representatives of Norfolk Southern, lawmakers and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, whose remit includes rail safety.
He was shocked."

Here's some shots of an incoming thunderstorm over Lake Crabtree in Cary, #NorthCarolina about an hour ago. Living dangerously with a non-weatherproof camera... thankfully I got it into the bag in time. #Photography #Fujifilm
@est it's a thankless job, shitposting via CS degree buzzword bingo, but somebody's gotta do it

OK. I'm making a concerted effort to learn #ukulele chords *and* what they're called. So, I'm writing them down. ("If you don't write it down, you're just f*cking around.")
I'll not post my progress in real time -- the social accountability thing doesn't work for me because it just makes me feel demotivating shame when I don't keep it up -- but I'll reply here when I've got a few and have some stable transitions.

haven't seen much of the birds themselves these last few days, but I do see some dry grass and feathers below the nest indicating they've been tending to it.

I just migrated from mastodon.lol so let me introduce myself again:
I am a South American biologist, #rstats programmer, and member of several communities of practice in open and responsible research. I am currently a postdoc at UFABC in Brazil, working on the resilience of Brazilian Atlantic Forest ecosystems to climate change.
I am always learning about non-liberal, trans-inclusive feminisms, anti-racism, social and environmental justice, and responsible AI.
A capable software engineer and aspirating (sic) cook. Also posting about space stuff (mostly NASA) occasionally
