The qoto webpage for Mastodon has some real 00s vibes, in the good way.

💡This idea and template is from @cosullivan

One of the nicest things about Mastodon so far is not having a horrible little sidebar constantly reminding me that who I am as a person is up for debate by angry, hateful and bigoted older men and women who really just want to call me a pervert.

Oh. And!

Casually building on work that I did around 10 years ago before, and during, my PhD.

I'm quite amazed that things are still being published as a result of calculations that I did so long ago.

Happily, this is one of the projects where I actually properly structured my directories and input / output file names! Even the .cub files had informative names!

Hello Mastodon, this is my cat.

Her name is Scone.

Last night, she decided to start attacking a storage drawer viciously because she wanted to sit on top of a very specific old side bag that I own.

She has four random cardboard boxes in our home, all in varying states of being eaten. Her preferences are unique.

Scone is a wonderful hunter. The other day, we located in her trophy zone beneath a large chair in the study, the kitchen sponge that she had valiantly slain, thrown to the ground and brought to one of her hiding spots.

Even on LinkedIn, following professional only accounts, you seem to be two clicks away from an account with a rather masculine avatar opining about cancel culture, the necessity of a rather conservative variant of free speech and also very loudly stating that "the left" are evil.

🫠

Putting the left over sweets for trick or treaters in the emergency noodle box and then up high in the utility cupboard otherwise I WILL eat all of them

First proper post/ toot - I am an editor with the Royal Society of Chemistry currently.

Interested in #chemistry, #compchem, #publishing, #education and #lgbt.

Most happy to make contacts and also diversify the types of science and research that I see!

Let's hope that we can get something of a chemistry community here, without the distractions that are present on quite some other social media sites.

The character limit being 65535 is a good sign already.
