I have said a lot about Romana but I never gave her "superhero origin story". An old QAnon scare that went around before the 2020 election was that the Chinese were stationed in Canada with New World Order troops preparing a tunnel attack on the United States.

People were actually claiming that the "white hats" were using tactical nukes to take out these Chinese tunnels.

Seriously, people believed this was happening.

Romana claims to have stopped the Chinese, somehow.

@tchambers @jameskoole Agreed, people on the Fediverse have different expectations of interaction and any organisation should be aware of that.

Crossposters to the Fediverse, however, already exist and have that unidirectional effect that is so jarring. Having tools such as full social media managers should solve that problem because they add listening and responding. It would be a definite improvement over crossposting.

The toughest thing about proving white collar crime, as I've learned from @Popehat is proving intent.

Folks, I'm an editor at #Conservation Biology and we are actively soliciting research papers that focus on "Diversifying Conservation" We want to create a special issue highlighting research from diverse voices, research that highlights #diversity (broadly defined) in conservation, and submissions that may be centered in non-western epistemologies. Abstracts due mid Feb, with research papers at the end of March. Hit me up for more details

I rattled out in my wheelchair across the ice to get some wintry morning pictures earlier. Felt dreadful 🤪. Always makes me sad to see what fit and well photographers can achieve. If I don’t admit to this I’d be one of this dreadful evergreen cheerful people on social media. The frosty countryside around Tavistock this morning, you can see the moor usually but it’s wreathed in fog here #Dartmoor #Devon

Prof. Adam Frank, Univ. of Rochester: "We’re taking a science fiction idea that has been very popular recently – in TV shows like Amazon’s #TheExpanse – and offering a new path for using an asteroid to build a city in space."
