Hi, I’m Kaeli Swift, your friendly neighborhood corvid expert. I love talking about crows and fielding questions so feel free to shoot me your queries!

Ok, professional intro out of the way… WTF is this platform, how does it work, why can’t I find my scicomm peeps, IDK what’s going onnnnnn truly this feels like I came to class late and am joining and in-progress group assignment

Tomorrow will be my 1 week anniversary on mastodon. In honor of that, here's Liza doing a sploot for #caturday

Them: #Andor is the least merchandisable #StarWars; no one wants a lego set about trudging to work every day under oppressive conditions.

Me: *spends weeks delightedly building a lego diorama of Ferrix*

To help better track and understand the use of targeted political ads:

1) Install our browser extension via: whotargets.me

2) If you see an interesting ad, grab a screenshot and the ‘why am I seeing this?’ text most networks provide (then send it to us)

3) If you're running a project monitoring ads, get in touch - we're trying to coordinate common infrastructure for these.

There was just an ad on YouTube where was promoting Gathering as something to do with your friends on a Friday night while you and hang out. With your cool homies. Like. I'm confused. Can anything just stay unpopularly geeky? :blobcatghostdead:

So someone wrote a whole-ass thesis about #fandom #antishippers. It's a compelling read, describes a first-person experience of the birth of the movement, debunks current antishipper claims about #proshippers, and proves that they've always just made shit up to justify harassment over ships.

@bloodwrites The original instance I was on (that I had an account on since 2018) turned out to be owned by an anti (of a kind). I yoinked my account to a new instance. None of that shit. No watering down actual crimes. Yay incest shipping (Boondock Saints here).

@grantbogle You can but it doesn't seem like there's much action on many of them. At least on my instance under Follows and Subscriptions there's an option to follow hashtags and feeds from other instances.

I give up. There's thousands of pieces involving my faves from . Nearly ten thousand. That's not including the weird side trends of Bane and John Blake, etc.

If you look at everything has done? It's not even half that. I'm seriously confused. I adore Hardy and (faves!) but this is a very weird quirk.

Never thought Elon Musk would do so much for the adoption of a decentralised infrastructure…

Please Elon, can you buy Elsevier ?

McMaster University Medical Centre is diverting many urgent surgical pediatric patients to adult sites due to PICU, ED, and inpatient pressures on staff. Kids >16 and over 50 kg will be affected.

This is malpractice waiting to happen. Kids are not small adults. Peds surgery is a specialty for a reason. This is in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Ugh why does Zofran have to have such a miserable bitter aftertaste. It lasts forever. The strawberry mixes great (sarcasm) with the mint of my Nurtec ODT, too. :blobcatgrimacing:

@drupad I miss trends because I learn a lot about different parts of the world and things I'd never have learned about without them.
