I don’t know who is on this Twitter platform any more but tomorrow on @inthebubblepod is the episode I’ve been dying to hear and finally made myself on what needs to be known about crypto.

Crypto hucksters can feel free to comment cause I ain’t reading them.

“If you choose not to find joy in the snow, you will have less joy in your life but still the same amount of snow”

I’m not sure who said it, but it seems relevant with the coming storm. #photography #LandscapePhotography #minnesota

Finally joining to flee the sinking Twitter ship...

I study and teach about the history and archaeology of early medieval Europe and digital arts and humanities from Carleton College in the upper midwest US.

Maybe we should stop using the past tense for COVID and the future tense for climate change.

@StevenBeschloss -- It Has been a Long Slog, yes. If the news out of #Utah is true, things may be changing.
Deseret-Hinkley Poll of utah voters has tr*mp in 3rd of possible contenders for GOP nomination, more favor DeSantis, and Cheney than tr*mp. And according to The Hill the GOP Senators are mostly waiting to see if prosecutions will happen before they pick their horse.

My first posting on mastodon but as I have no followers nobody is likely to see it.
I am a pencil artist based in the West Midlands and this is one I did recently just for a bit of fun and called it Emmy Emu..

Welcome to the future!

Every GOP official, especially party leaders like Kevin McCarthy, should be asked, wherever they go, whenever they appear, whether they condemn Trump’s call for termination of “all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution” so that Trump can now be declared the winner.
They must utterly reject and walk away from this seditious, authoritarian madman. Now.

I’ve started making my own cottage cheese & whey freaks me right out. It freakin’ glows!

Isn’t it depressing that “Hunter Biden’s laptop” is still somehow a thing? Apparently some people hear those words and get agitated, or excited, or angry. In a Pavlovian way? It’s mystifying.

Here’s David Corn, for perspective: https://mastodon.social/@DavidCorn/109446259828710023

Inspired by a lawyer friend posting something similar: is there a community of Mastodon users who are #sociolinguists (or otherwise use #sociolinguistics in their work)? I never really talked about my work over on the birdsite but I might want to here.

I'm a prof at the University of Alberta (currently in my 26th year, oof). I was trained as a variationist back in the day but these days am interested mostly in language and identity and language ideologies, and use primarily qualitative methods.

There are Oath Keepers and Proud Boys who could testify truthfully, if they were so inclined, about their coordination before January 6 with Donald Trump by way of Roger Stone and others. Maybe it’s time. https://www.rawstory.com/merrick-garland-trump-2658803899/

All right #Mastodon, show this #twitterexodus refugee what you can do.

Walked away from 6700 followers because I won't provide content (not directly, at least) or be in the same space as a destructive & dangerous narcissist. This new (for me) place is cool but I do miss being able to post a special #nature #photograph & know it will get seen thousands of times.

I guess that's my #introduction. I rant about #covid #CovidIsNotOver & #LongCovid & I live in a beautiful place. With a foot of snow.
