Hoping to connect over here with #evolution #biodiversity and #biomechanics folks! Will aim to post and support others. Here is a cool surgeonfish (Ctenochaetus) we dissected recently.

"For a child accustomed to stolen possessions and broken promises, the only guaranteed treats are the ones you have already swallowed"

"Waiting is only the rational choice if you believe that a second marshmallow is likely to actually appear after a reasonably short delay—and that the marshmallow currently in your possession is not at risk of being taken away"

Another #introduction post for all the new Twitter people (and just new people in general!). A little about me: I’m Sabrina - I’m a #writer (some #scicomm) and #author of #ScienceFiction (and #ClimateFiction and #dystopian) #books - my series Aestus was on the Amazon hard #scifi bestseller list recently. 😊 I also do #archery and #photography and enjoy #hiking - I would love to get into #astrophotography. I am learning #German and really enjoy good convos/coffee/tea. Sry for so many hashtags 😅

Just seen on Mastodon that the Sony/BMG royalty dispute means Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You up" is now blocked globally on YouTube. Playing just yields a "blocked in your region" message.

Absolute end of an internet era. 😔

Hi folks
I’m a senior Curator of Flies and Fleas at the #naturalhistorymuseumlondon
I’ve been working & playing there for about 15 years and am slightly obsessed by flies…
If you want to know more about #flies, the #collection, #curation, #research or #fieldwork ask away….

So I understand that the bird site has started blocking links to common/known Mastodon instances, and that doesn't seem like free speech to me. So... I did a thing.

If you go to https://spacekaren.sucks it is now a URL shortener that blocks the twitter user agent. That means you can share that link that will redirect to your Mastodon account without the pouty baby stopping you. If you find this helpful can you boost so others can find it? #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Musk #introduction
