This is the #SunshineWildlandFire outside of Boulder, CO. Only a few weeks away from the #MarshallFire anniversary these dry and windy winter days are terrifying.

On Twitter it took us almost 5 years to reach to 50,000 followers.

Here at Mastodon we may be able to do it within one month.

My #Arctic temperature graphics have all been updated for November 2022: https://zacklabe.com/arctic-temperatures/

You can go “goblin mode,” but I’m going to go “hobbit mode”: walking around barefoot in a comfortable home, eating more than three meals a day, splitting my time between tending my garden and writing, and occasionally getting pulled into an adventure by an old wizard.

As the @NASA_Orion spacecraft prepares for the journey back to Earth, we reflect on all the women who led the Artemis I mission to the Moon.

Through #Artemis, we will see the first woman and first person of color walk on the lunar surface.

Ein gutes Foto ist jede Anstrengung wert.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends. Love one another.

@subu_caps @theurv I’m inclined to agree with this distinction. I tend to use #AirPollution when referring to specific pollutants (eg NO2, PM2.5) and #AirQuality more generally for combined pollutants/sources.

Peek-a-boo, that’s us! 🫣 🌏

Disturbed by reports of Black Mastodon users—Black women in particular—having negative experiences on this app, including being randomly banned for discussions of racism. Some of these users will not come back. All will share their experiences. The answer is not to condescendingly lecture them on “how the fediverse works,” as if their experiences are inevitable, nor to swear to do better next time. (There may not be one.) It’s to do better now lest the reputation of this app be cemented.

The first black child ever allowed to attend a white school is only 68 years old now.
White parents pulled their children from school. White teachers refused to teach her.
Ruby Bridges now works as an activist & public speaker
This wasn’t a million years ago. /1

Republicans keep vilifying the lgbtq+ community..
But I don’t see any trans or gay people shooting up a bunch of people just for being straight.

They keep telling us the only solution is a good guy with a gun..
But 2 unarmed people stopped this shooter.

These dangerous lies must end.

Can't stop the signal, Mal

On a clear night in Kinlochleven in November, the Milky Way is visible down the loch. This shot took several attempts as the high road to the village runs to the left of this image. A 30 second exposure meant it took a bit of good timing to avoid light trails from the few cars which did venture down that night. This image was taken next to the slipway area in Kinlochleven.

With the Twitter reinstatement of the former US President who attempted to incite a fascist coup after losing an election, now would _really_ be a good time to stop cross-posting your Twitter RTs here.

If you feel that cross-posting is the only way to maintain a presence here, please consider limiting it to original posts without mentions or RTs, to avoid cluttering timelines with Twitter URLs. Thank you kindly for your consideration.
