Goooooood morning all you wonderful people. I'm catching up on all the notifications. Hit me up if anyone needs something.

@commandelicious Do I gotta hack my instance for mathjax to get LaTeX expressions to render right :)

I use some Android apps to help me identify and document the life I see. The one I use most commonly is the Audubon app (audubon.org/app). The most impressive bird in this area is a brown-tailed hawk. I also hear owls occasionally, but have never seen them. My hummingbird feeder has attracted several ruby-throated hummingbirds. My most recent "discovery" was the Eastern Towhee.

Greetings ya'll. I'm a biologist living in Decatur GA. I sit in front of a computer all day, so I'm making a point of paying attention to all of the life around me. Some of it I try to nurture or attract (e.g. butterfly garden), but a lot of it shows up on it's own, or I just pass it by during my day. That's not why I'm here, just something I do (and the meaning of my handle).

Important things that you should know:
1. All cats are ten out of ten.
2. If you are a dog person 1. will be true for dogs
3. If a creature has their tongue out it's BLIIEEEP time.
4. You are awesome

Please show @elz1000@mastodon.social how awesome mastodon is and give some love.

@commandelicious I would like to point out a couple more of open source games in case you don't know them ❤️ which are 0ad (Age of empires like), openRA and FreeCiv (a maintained and upgraded version of Civilization I)

I'm about 1/3 of the way through reading N.K. Jemisin's The Fifth Season, and it's so good that I'm making myself slow down so that I have more time to enjoy it.

Ok, everyone QOTO: I expect from everyone a thread about your favourite hobby or profession like this, thank you ;)

Why tweet when you can toot 😍

Kerbal Space Program is great fun. Love that game, but I have to relearn it every half a year and this is what happens then.

Fiddling with traffic in Cities: Skylines is a lot of fun. Made a video about the traffic manager especially for this because sitting for six hours to improve a crossing is exactly my thing. Seriously.
This is a picture how to not do it.

I often play this one with the Kaiserreich mod, what might have been if Germany won WW1
