It's painful and stupid that in base 10 and more you are expected to use letters instead of inventing new numbers to make it easier to work with #xp
@donmelton Agreed. My personal policy is that I will favorite RTs, but never boost them.
If they go to the trouble of copy/pasting and add a link, then I will boost.
The point is to engage here on Mastodon, not just to lazily RT from the Twit
Combine prismatic window foil, a sunny spot on the sofa, lucky timing, and this fluffy bugger. Voilà - Rainbow Cat.

"In 2019, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 18 superbugs—both drug-resistant fungi and bacteria—cause at least 2.8 million drug-resistant infections every year in the United States, resulting in more than 35,000 deaths (2). Of the 18 microbes, three are fungi: Candida auris, according to the CDC, is an “urgent threat,” drug-resistant Candida species are “serious threats,” and azole-resistant Aspergillus fumigatus is on the “watch list.”"

"The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed.
You can’t write this off as “Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t.

It’s #FollowFriday so I hope folks utilize the hashtag to find my account here!
Give me a boost! Maybe if I can show some of the big accounts on Twitter that it’s possible to grow sizably and quickly here, too, they’ll migrate over!
@brendannyhan Hi Brendan. If you and other commentators support this ☝🏼view enough to RT here, why not do the decent thing and abandon the toxic #Twitter platform completely?
There's many on #Masto than will either refuse to follow you or at least refuse to boost your posts because of your cross-posting. (For the moment I fall into the latter category only, but - with Musk's recent antics, I may join the former sooner than later. )
Just a thought 🤷♂️
The devolution of Twitter into a cesspool of toxic garbage reminds me of this comic I drew a few years ago.
