Hey everyone, I'm building a list of congressional offices on Mastodon -- members of the House and Senate, committees, leadership offices, and non-partisan offices.

If you know of a member of congress that is on mastodon, please add them to the list, here: bit.ly/CongMastoForm

If you want to see who we have found so far, check out bit.ly/CongMasto

Thank you! Please help amplify to crowdsource the list.

50 years ago today, Count von Count made his first appearance on Sesame Street. The Vampire Muppet, who never seems to bite anyone and can be out in the sun, is obsessed with numbers and counting.
More than just a play on words, Vampire lore from several cultures includes compulsive counting and organization as a trait in such creatures- it's said you can escape one by scattering grain, which they'd then have to stop and count.

When people ask you if you watched that new show yet and you’re like, no I’ve been rewatching shows I’ve seen a million times because they’re like a warm, comforting hug, and I’m not emotionally equipped to take on new info at this time.

Hello #Mastodon my first toot, a wee #Autumn photo from the Ullapool to Stornoway ferry #photography #scotland

There’s no blue checkmark in the world worth giving your credit card info to a company that just fired the bulk of its devs responsible for digital security.

Moonrise over Aghabullogue, Co Cork. A personal happy place to offer up for #StandingStoneSunday.

I posted a message to mastodon via ham radio! iPhone via Bluetooth to a Mobilinkd TNC3 modem to BaoFeng UB5R. The signal went about 4 miles to the UT Austin Amateur Radio Club's antenna on top of Physics building (KA5D) where their iGate send it to 4X5MG whose bot posted it. Pretty neat! https://botsin.space/@aprs/109316550326136608

There’s a #StandingStoneSunday hashtag?! 😍 Here are a few from my phone. These are the “fingers” at Gurranes Stone Row, Cork, Ireland.

My 6 year old has wanted to be a tattoo artist since she was 3.

Most people she tells laugh.

I guess because they’re expecting her to say doctor, firefighter or ballerina?

All I know is any job that can pay the bills and make her feel happy/fulfilled, I am 💯 in support of.

I study #Paleoseismology, and #EarthquakeGeology. To study the faults and earthquakes that happened decades, centuries, or thousands of years back, we generally do excavations. These will expose the sediments and rocks deformed allowing us to infer how much deformation a given earthquake caused, its likely magnitude, and when did it happen. Thus, telling us how BIG and FREQUENT earthquakes can be on that fault (at that location). This is much needed to help understand hazards and mitigate risk.

They stole the electron? IS HE POSITIVE?

A reminder to all the folks coming over from #Twitter. A favorite here is basically telling the poster you liked what they said. But since there is not an algorithm feeding you content based on what you favorite, that's all they do. They just "bla-doop" in the poster's notifications. If you want to get that post out to other people, you have to boost it. Then everyone who follows you will see it too.

(Give it a try on this post if you like)

Let’s try this again. Where you at #fediverse? Boosts welcome so we can get the best sample size.

Intro post: I'm a professor of #Biology at the #UniversityOfWashington. My training is in #EvolutionaryBiology, #BehavioralEcology, #PopulationGenetics, and #Epidemiology. I did lots of work in #Bibliometrics and #NetworkTheory. I teach #DataLiteracy. These days I spend a lot of time thinking about the spread of #Misinformation, the #ScienceOfScience, and #PhilosophyOfScience. I do a lot of #BirdPhotography and love #ravens, #crows, and all #corvids.

For your trouble, here's a perfect crow.

This was the first release for my solo music project, Transits of Mars: "The Voices of Machines".

Still one of my faves.
