Hallo deutsche Mastodon! Ich spreche ein bisschen deutsch (sehr bisschen!). Ich wurde gern manchmal um deutch zu sprechen hier. Hier sind meine fotos zum Berlin :)

(sorry that German isn't very good, it will help me to practice)

New: one of my favourite ruins, 'The Murder House' as I call it. I will write this up into a blog for you at some stage. This is the building from the back. New to this visit was a perfect sheep's skull and a headless doll...(!)

Good morning from a very foggy NE England. As a nod to the weather, here are some misty pictures!

It's perfect Petrol Stations at Night weather - or will be if this mist continues. No clue what I'm talking about? I don't blame you. I like taking pictures of petrol stations... here are a few.

More about this project on my blog: http://mariegardiner.co.uk/blog/2022/01/04/the-curious-allure-of-petrol-stations/

When did Twitter just become posts asking stupid questions about who could care less?

Anyway, what's your favourite word?

The #Fediverse killer feature, the single feature no other centralized, corporate competitor could ever dream of offering is collective decision-making.

Collective decision-making is a skill that modern life denies most of us. These instances suddenly create a non-trivial space where this skill can be acquired and developed (if your admin allows it, of course).

I don't even think it matters if people choose to make decisions through consensus or adopt parliamentary procedures or whatever. Just exposing people to a process and the tension and release could be educational.

I think this is what could make the #Fediverse transformational.

Hello y’all People of the Fediverse old and new! ​✨

I have tooted a lot lately, YET,
I have neglected tooting an #introduction all this time, so here it is:

Hi! I’m Em! ​

I’m an Accidental Tooter Tutor, but very happy to be 🐘✨

When I don’t give Mastodon tips to newcomers moving away from a Twittertatastrophy, I give tiny #privacy tips, big privacy tips, and big privacy opinions 🔒

I talk about code, security, and human rights 💻​

I like encryption, but end-to-end encryption even more. If I write crypto here, I mean cryptography.

I make bad puns and laugh a lot at them in secret. I laugh a lot at your puns too!

I like weird electronic with flashy LED lights. Right to Repair on everything. DIY anything. Big fan of all #FOSS

I boost photos of mosstodon, cause we all need it 🌱✨

Rainbows, cats, and cute emojis make me happy. I also like kind humans, and open software ​

Diversity is key. Representation matters. Cooperation over competition. Listening is vital. Kindness is essential ​

Despite all the bad going on, I still believe together we can change the World and make it much better and fairer for everyone ✊​​

Most people that I meet on my photography adventures don't know that "taking pictures for Wikipedia" is a thing. So, when I'm out shooting, I often engage in conversations about how Wikipedia needs more photos. That's what happened this morning, when I took this image for the article "Greater white-fronted goose":

Please consider sharing your photos with a global audience through #Wikipedia !

The Celtic Interconnector is a key part of EirGrid’s strategic goal to transform Ireland’s power system and increase the use of renewable electricity. Interconnection with France makes the power system more resilient." 🇮🇪🤝🇫🇷 #energy #EnergySecurity
