This feels appropriate for the second thing I've ever posted to mastodon.

BREAKING: Web browser Firefox can be used to access "sickening" illegal content online, prominent information security professionals demand its removal from app stores until Mozilla is willing to moderate "the WWW".

I enjoyed this far more than I probably should have.

Last night, it became apparent that Twitter’s automated copyright strike/takedown system was no longer functional. A user went viral for uploading the entirety of The Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift in two minute chunks over a 50 tweet thread.

I read somewhere just now that it's useful to post additional information about oneself. So, I'm:

the daughter of one of the early nuclear engineers. He specialized in materials research for shielding suitability;
70 years old;
retired from a healthcare system after 40 years of employment with them, the last 20 years were in IT;
The proud mother of a mathematics in a Denver university who is also invilved with the LGBTQ community;
fond of #sci fi;
also watch extended versions of #lotr every year;
former mother of a bushbaby, who passed in 1971;
definitely left of center;
a voter;
getting solar panels in February;
a fugitive from Texas currently in Albuquerque, NM;
fond of all animals, used to be the neighborhood snake wrangler;
the daughter of a natural history devotee;
a voracious reader;
the wife of a fine arts scholar, who has read me to sleep every night for 24 years - all of the major classics and many of the minor ones (I got the liberal arts education that I had missed as a science student);
a terrible housekeeper, with an even worse house husband;
glad to be alive even though that might change any day with the current political disaster.

Hello, Mastadon!

Thanks to @Romaq for inviting me to qoto. I hope to find a home here. Twitter is evil; Facebook is cluttered and confusing. So here I am.

This seems like an appropriate first comic for mastodon.

they put a christmas sweater on the t-rex at the national history museum in london and it's ridiculous and adorable

I haven't been able to get the mastodon app to work for the last couple days on the mas.to server, which is where I am. For some reason the Tusky app is able to access my account. Anyone know why this is?

The opening to Shine On You Crazy Diamond still gives me goosebumps to this day. Wonderful.
