Hello, after lurking around more than a month here and seeing the birdsite falling apart, I guess it's finally time for a proper #introduction toot!
I am a 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 #EarlyCareer #scientist, specialised in #polar #climate #science, especially interactions between #ocean and #ice, both #Arctic and #Antarctic.
Next to "pure" research, I like to do fun stuff for #SciComm, like #blogging, #SeriousGames, #SciArt, ...
I am curious to meet and interact more with the #Mastodon community!

Once in a lifetime shot.

Call me a radical lefty, but I think it should be easier to get a life-saving abortion than a deadly assault rifle.

"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

To all Mastodon-admins: seems like there's an attack on all instances by troll accounts. Servers get slow because of it.
They use thousands of subdomains of activitypub-troll.cf. My 'pull' queues skyrocketed.
I now blocked the domain activitypub-troll.cf and all is back to normal. Please check if you're hit too.

Something quite serious now.
For the past 2 years on the birdsite, I've enjoyed being part of Sarah Millican's #JoinIn - there for anyone on their own over the festive season who would like to join in a group chat to help pass the day.
We've had some great times, and I'm planning to support it here too this year.
If you're lonely, just post #JoinIn so we can spot you, or search for the #JoinIn hashtag, and just join in!
Good idea? Give it a BOOST!
