@Paulos_the_fog I’m pretty sure I knew that she named Polonium for her mother country. If it said it in the Ladybird book on Madame Curie I would have known it.

Today’s poem is called ‘Fixtures’. It was written for a previous men’s football World Cup.

As for this one - given the allegations of corruption, Qatar’s appalling human rights violations, and the deaths of 6500 migrant workers - I’m not sure I’ll be watching any of it.

Scanning the recent #WHO #policy brief on #MentalHealth at #work

Priority given to organizational interventions. Individual interventions listed, but good to see caveats outlined

In France, INRS advised NOT to use yoga for #psychosocialrisks #prevention.

IMO: individual interventions have NO place in a company policy (WHO acknowledges it places the onus on #workers rather than on organizations)

You want to do yoga, you do you but it should not be a business policy

@stevenlawson nice composition but I can’t help but see 11 men about to cause a head injury!

You have the seed of joy in your heart. Place the soil of willingness around it! Magic may happen.
Meanwhile, here in the north, the Yukon River is slowly freezing. From the mistful scenery of this delightful place in the cold, I am sending joy, hope and positivity.

Another flabbergasting Mastodon fact: if you're using your browser (not an app on your phone), you don't *have* to use the web-interface on your Mastodon instance. You can use another if you wish. Here's a screenshot of the Pinafore frontend, running directly on pinafore.social/ - a static website that simply does the API calls for you, and presents them to you. If you prefer, grab the source code on GitHub and host it yourself via Docker or running it directly with node.js ... amazing freedom of choice to suddenly have #mastodon #opensource #fediverse #pinafore

In a major plus for academic discourse, we can drop the word “tweetorial” and go back to calling it by its original name: tootorial.

Friendly #Mastodon tip of the Day 2

Filters are your best friend. If you don’t want content about Elon Musk , go to Preference > Filters and make one for "Musk".

Or #Twitter. Or anything you don't want to see.

Those posts will be hidden, and filters can be time-limited. So if you just want to filter out football chat during the world cup, you can do that.

🔃Reblog and follow me for more daily tips.

@qdm anyone else you know I should follow? I don’t seem able to see who you follow, maybe because you’re on a different server?

@syed @cpep yep I went through 3 apps on my first day on mastodon and so far settled on Metatext
