Today's blog post is a little odd. If we wanted to change the common name of a species, could we? I looked at data from three real attempts! https://scientistseessquirrel.wordpress.com/2022/11/22/can-you-change-a-species-common-name/

Looking over the parapets of #Carisbooke #Castle we can see the #boneyard beyond. This castle was once the living heart of the Island, but now it is but a broken one. Windswept and grey, a hulk that has stood in one shape or another for over a millennia. How many have died on these walls and how many #shades stand here looking at the #graves? The #shadows of the past clinging thick with the restless dead. #Ghost #GhostStories #Folklore #Cemetery #Folklore #MythicMonday #TombTuesday

@Ged LeGuin is one of my favorites too. It's nice to meet another fan!
I recently found a talk in which she reads a portion of the first chapter. I loved hearing her pronounce the goat spell! This should start there (14:00 min.):
If you're accessing Mastodon from a Mac and you're willing to use apps in beta, I recommend trying Mammoth. Some features are still in development but I've been trying it alongside Metatext. I like them both but Mammoth is pulling ahead due to a very nice UI!

THIS is what the NRA posted yesterday - a meme mocking people with they/them pronouns.
Gun manufacturers foment bigotry, racism and misogyny, and then watch the money roll in when Americans buy guns after every mass shooting.
The hate is a feature, not a bug. https://twitter.com/nra/status/1593772334032248832

@Ged That’s gorgeous! Thank you. Orkney is high on my travel list…hope I can get there someday. The historic sites look wonderful.
(Btw I noticed your username. Is it from A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. LeGuin?)
@monsterlander Wow, beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

@richieholland I came here to create a "parachute" dependant on how things go on Twitter but despite a largish following there, I much prefer it here and hope I can make this my primary place and help to grow it within, what seems so far, to be a more mature community.

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.
