Hello Mastodon World

Hello world

The Three Marriages of Marilyn Monroe https://www.historydefined.net/the-three-marriages-of-marilyn-monroe/

A ✅ has appeared in my profile. Hurrah for that. I think we have to realise that the learning curve here is steepish, but rather than be anxious about it, shouldn’t we should celebrate the adventure of slowly finding out something that was puzzling at first? Like your first week at school or in a new office building. We’ll get there and soon laugh at how confused me were at first. I hope!

Another for the fungi lovers. Possibly to be enjoyed by #sporespondance and definitely one for #photography

Can I ask: would you rather I let you know when someone well known from the other place arrives here or would you rather I didn't? I'm trying to get the vibe right here and I've had requests asking me to do just this but also requests to not do it. OK or not OK? Wrap it?

Double bill, #fungi and supporting #slimemould

Now let's talk about moths. Nearly 100 years ago there was a major breakthrough in our understanding of #butterfly #wing patterns. The majority of #Lepidoptera aren't #butterflies, they're #moths. How do butterfly wings fit in with broader wing pattern #evolution in this order?

I found that the relationship between wing pattern & wing #venation in moths is so iron-clad that I was able to predict—and then find—a wing #vein in Lepidoptera that was previously known only from #caddisflies.

Monarchs and others are heading south #nature #butterflies #pollination #autumn

A #MonarchButterfly spotted over the weekend. Not sure what kind of flower it's hiding behind. #nature #insects #butterflies #SouthCoastBotanicGarden

I seem to have accidentally tended towards invertebrate keeping in recent years. I have raised death's dead hawkmoths, painted lady #butterflies , hatched out atlas and ceropia #moths .

New day, another #art I did. This one's a swallow, one of my favorites to watch. #birding #painting

@timnitGebru It has to be exhausting to be Black on fedi.

I wonder what the rest of us could do to help? One (long standing) critique I've heard by Black users is that blocking is unidirectional - I can block you and not see your content, but by default you could still see mine. Maybe we could campaign for that issue to be addressed, which would add friction to harassment?

Or, you know, we could all agree not to be awful to each other. 🙄
