@lucifargundam True. Sadly, most of the wartime wrecks are ticking time bombs. On a brighter note, there are some successful habitat restoration projects involving artificial reefs made of wrecks. However, it’s yet to be established what impact these structures have on the larger ocean ecosystems.

Your #school #culture is made up of every single interaction that happens (or doesn't happen) between people throughout the day.

Your school #climate is made up of how people feel about those interactions (or lack of them).

Your words have Weight, they can bring people down.
Your words have Height, they can lift people up.
Most importantly:
Your words have Length, they last a lifetime!

Be #kind #thoughtful #intentional and #present.

@edutooters One idea that I’ve recommended to our #teachers who stress about weekends being over too quickly is to stop #planning Monday through Friday and instead make a small shift to planning Tuesdays through Mondays instead.

Sundays are a little less stressful when you're already prepped for Monday.

@DavidBflower good luck with your astro hunting tonight 🙋‍♀️✨

If you're ever frustrated with an experiment, consider the example of the Queensland Pitch Drop Experiment begun in 1927, the longest running experiment... and I want to really make this land for you... STILL HAS NOT technically yielded a single direct observation as of 2022.

From the article intro: “Alice Gorman is a space archaeologist working on space junk in Earth orbit, deep space probes, and planetary landing sites. She explores what we can learn from these items and places as material objects, and also their heritage significance – what they actually mean for people and communities on Earth.”

Evolution doesn’t look how it’s depicted in pop culture. We often picture the famous “March of Progress” illustration where a series of apes stand in line leading to a modern human.

But evolution is not linear. It branches and branches. Divides in some places and recombines in others. #science

I don’t understand why people think Mastodon is difficult. It seems pretty straightforward, and the separate servers are no biggie. I’m enjoying this fresh start here, like moving to a new apartment!

now that our server qoto.org is (temporarily) not listed in the main mastodon website joinmastodon.org, it seems convenient to promote our server directly in the birdsite. Therefore please follow the link below and like or retweet the post, so that it will be ranked higher in the search field of the

How freakin' cool. A #meteor was picked up by EarthCam's CN Tower webcam in #Toronto.

Several hours before it hit, David Rankin at NASA's Catalina Sky Survey spotted the object, and Michael Busch started a thread: mastodon.online/@michael_w_bus.

EarthCam archives about a day's worth of video, so you can still catch it here: earthcam.com/world/canada/toro. Tap Archive, select the 3-4AM clip and scroll to the 3:25:56 mark. #astronomy #space

The German word "bitte" means "please".

Combined with other words, it means more:

Bittebitte! (expandable by as many "bitte" as you want) = Prettyplease!
Wie bitte? = Say what?
Bitteschön (literally: pleasenice) = There you are.
Bittesehr (pleasevery) = There you are.
Na, bitte! = Told you so.
Also bitte! = Stop that!
Aber bitte doch! = Go ahead!
Bitte was? = That's impossible.
WIE BITTE?! = ARE YOU F*CKING SERIOUS?!

Enjoy our language!

So it seems joinmastodon removed QOTO from their directory without cause, without contacting us, and without any discussion or due diligence.

Since this is the only way to actually find QOTO for new users if it isnt reversed soon it could mean the end for our wonderful community.

If you care about this place remaining fair, respectful, and inclusive environment I highly suggest everyone reach out to them annd voice your objecttion and your disapointment and having no procedure to keep this fair and inclusive.

If you want to see QOTO stick around you can email your objecttion here:

hello@joinmastodon.org

Feel free to CC me here: jeffrey.freeman@qoto.org

Please be respectful, we want to show them we are the good guys and not give them any reason to object.
