Wow, Boston's fire boxes (which work) don't need power to run.

"The city's street fire-box system still uses the same basic mechanism as employed in the 1852 boxes: A spring-based system inside the box generates Morse Code-like signals to a central alarm station that indicate the box's number, and so its location, without the need for fancy electronics or even an external power supply. The fire-alarm office has been located in the Fenway since 1925."

I just went on a follow-fest for women with a PhD, but realized I'm already mutuals with almost everyone who shows up in the limited search results 😋

If you're a Dr. Gal or other female science communicator type, pop into the thread, say hi!

I'd love to learn about what you do 💜
(and I'm sure lots of others would too)

I did not know of the #asstodon tag, and when I learned of it I was surprised not to find this in it.

To teach kids about democracy, I let them vote on dinner.

They picked pizza.

So I made bangers and mash because they don’t live in a swing state.
