Morning all! Just dropping by to say I hope everyone has a great Saturday! I’ve a busy day ahead with my 6 year old son, starting off with a play date at the sticky chaotic horror known as “soft play”! Wish me (and my immune system) luck 😆😬 #saturday #weekend #kids

#OnThisDay, 11 Nov 1865, Dr Mary Edwards Walker receives the Medal of Honor from US President Andrew Johnson for her services as a field surgeon in the American Civil War.

The medal was revoked in 1917, but Walker refused to return it, and wore it until her death in 1919. It was restored to her in 1977.

There’s a refreshing air around #Mastodon. Some lovely introductions to read, new folk to follow. Like coming to a party alone & people saying hi. Hi there #introduction #FollowBackFriday #followfriday #twittermigration #medtwitter #medtooter

Hi, I'm JC! I am a poet who lives in Marietta, Georgia. I've published four books: La Petite Mort, What Magick May Not Alter, Daughter of the Wheel and Moon, and Amo e Canto, which won the Sow's Ear Poetry Prize.

I love #cats, #writing (especially #poetry, obvs), #tennis, #crochet, and learning #Italian.

I'm so excited to find new friends and get away from Tw*tter drama.

Morning! Are you ready for another day of searching for the sunlit uplands? Here’s a picture of Holt Ball on the Vale of Porlock at sunrise, Exmoor National Park. #exmoor #holtball #valeofporlock #exmoornationalpark #sunrise

Let’s have some #fun! What’s your favourite #music era ?

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.
