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.

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:

@Sarahw @quay @indri This seems like concern trolling. I should hide any discussions of racism because a hypothetical Black woman might not want to read that? I’m sure Black women follow me on here and I’m pretty sure they are aware that I discuss racism. If this hypothetical Black woman didn’t want to read about racism I’m pretty sure she would just skip social media because BW are one of the most targeted groups around. Highlighting racism is a public good.

POLL: If you've been on #Mastodon for over a week and used it each day, how likely are you to go back to using Twitter on a regular basis?

Boost for a larger sample size please.

maybe printer doesn't work cause you only show up when you need something and then do nothing but talk shit behind its back. do better.

Finally figured out how to get feeds from other instances. Yay. Now I have so many things to look at.

Insect, but weirder than most 

Friday Flyday!

Here’s a Richardia hammerhead fly from an Ecuadorian cloud forest.
