50 WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR TWITTER

You just pin your last tweet, Pete,
Request your archive, Clive,
You don’t need a blue tick, Vic,
Just get yourself free.

Hop on the tusk, Gus,
You don’t need to delete much,
Except your DMs, Jen,
And get yourself free.

Use Debirdify, Di,
Provide some alt tags, Mags,
Add a content warning, Tim,
To post sensitively.

Remember to boost, Ruth
You don't need to deny truth,
Just drop off the perch, Dirk,
And get yourself free.

Woohoo! New data on the bivalent booster. Cliff note: reduction of risk of symptomatic COVID by 56% in those aged 18-49 yrs, 48% in 50-64 yrs, and 43% in those 65 or older.

I've been using mastodon long enough that I don't feel like my shoelaces are tied together anymore. Now it's more like they're untied and I step on one of the loose ends every so often. I'm sure in another week it'll be like running barefoot through the flowers.

Frost is pretty amazing to really look at and study, especially at different scales. Zoomed out, it's a dusting. But close up, it's made up of all these little ice sculptures. Each leaf is a little different, like snowflakes that never even had to fall.

Coast range, Oregon, yesterday.
