Here are three persimmons. They're gone now, however.

One of the world’s longest-running experiments has been going for 143 years!

In 1879, botanist William Beal wanted to find out how long seeds could remain viable underground. So he buried bottles with different kinds of seeds in a secret spot somewhere on the Michigan State University campus, knowing the experiment might outlive him.

It did! Every 20 yrs, a small group scientists still dig up the bottles and seeds continue to germinate 🌱 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/21/science/beal-seeds-experiment.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare #science

Last week the global population hit 8 billion people. Yes, that’s a lot BUT there are about 1.4 billion insects for every human on Earth. Combined, they weigh about 70x more than all of us.

And insects have been around for over 350 million years. That's longer than the dinosaurs. Modern humans only showed up between 200-300,000 years ago.

We need insects to survive. They don't need us. This is their world.

Please keep wearing masks, the pandemic isn't over, holidays make it worse, and a lot of us disabled people feel completely abandoned.

There's a LOT of people doing that. You will find it. Do not stop searching.

Check in https://mastodon.art for example.

7 things all kids need to hear

Just a big Thank You to all those using image descriptions here and a reminder to those who haven't started doing this yet to please do so.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of people who are blind or visually impaired here, and we really appreciate you describing your images.

For me, this is important because I can't recognize faces or facial expressions well, and sometimes I can't tell what's going on in a photo with too much chaos or too much detail. Please feel free to ask quetions about that.

This is the binary black hole animation I made for Black Hole Week 2021 and the reason I joined twitter at the time. So I guess it is fitting to start with it here.

Well, #Photomonday I guess. It’s not that old photo, but now it’s a little snowy already. Also, I should take more photos again. I used to spam photos.

WHY CAN I PRINT TO MY ROOMMATE'S CPAP MACHINE?

Mastodon is kinda like stumbling into a shelter after a major natural disaster destroyed your town and running into people from your neighbourhood, isn’t it?
Hey! It’s you! You’re here!! You made it!!

@jscholes I appreciate the number of people who are willing to discuss #accessibility on #Mastodon. On other platforms, I would be ignored, except for other #disabled users. On Mastodon, I feel like people are genuinely interested in #learning and #accommodating others to the best of their ability. I hope we don’t lose that part of #MastodonCulture as more and more people #migrate over.

There's a lot of layers with passkeys, and already more cheerleaders than before which is great.

However, if you've not actually fully explored how magical they can be, now is a good time.

Even though ProPublica has never been a print news organization, sometimes our investigations make their way into the newspapers.

This weekend, we had the pleasure of seeing two massive ProPublica reports printed by our partners on those stories.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel dedicated a full section to "The Landlord & the Tenant," our co-investigation into the history and fallout of a devastating Milwaukee house fire:
