A gentle reminder to folks who are new to Mastodon. In solidarity with those in the disabled community who rely on screen readers, we ask that you:
* Add alt text/image descriptions when you post media
* Capitalize the first letter of every word in a hashtag #LikeThis

#CowsOfMastodon is great. Excellent cows, no notes on the cows. But, #Moostodon was right there.

Rivers meander over their course as they continuously erode and deposit sediment. Harold Fisk, a geologist and cartographer working for the US Army Corps of Engineers, mapped the meanders of the mighty Mississippi in 1944 and the results are mesmerizing. They also beautifully illustrate geology’s Law of Superposition: newer and younger sediments are deposited on top of older sediments. We see thousand of years of course changes. You can unravel the layers by eye by noting which layer cuts others

Hi everyone! If you are interested in anything related to the atmosphere/air quality and you want more people to follow, please check out the list we have going!
This is opt-in only and it is also being compiled into a GitHub list by @jorge (see the note on the page). Please boost to help reach new folks!

If you're new to #Mastodon, two tips: first, do an #Introduction post, it will help some people find you. Second, make sure your profile is complete (avatar, bio, a few links), you're more likely to get follow backs if you do that.

Feels like we're starting to near critical mass with #weather folks moving on over.
Created a form to fill out your #wxtwitter to #wxmastodon matchup. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfALCNv2I0WRmGpoNDn34PPDH0aHrqIdbWUGCkoFMmgQCbKzw/viewform
Can see the growing list here:

While we're on the topic of hashtags, #CowsOfMastodon will brighten your day.

Shoutout to all the Mastodon servers bouta get slammed. Don’t forget to tip your admins, Mastodon doesn’t have ads
Welcome to the fediverse, #wxtwitter! Or #wxtooter, #wxmastodon, or whatever we are calling ourselves now. Hashtags seem to be the optimal way to find people here, so there you go!
@thelinuxcast I started the Eagles defense on my fantasy team thinking they were a sure thing. 😭

RT @WhySharksMatter
There is no scientist whose science is so uniquely, irreplaceable brilliant that it is worth putting up with their abuse, harassment, toxic work environment, and/or racism.
The scientific output of all the people they push out of science would have been greater.
@kittenloaf Ha, this is true! I have already had to stop my work to google a couple of songs and artists today.
@Mgellis Mine are kind of all over the place too, but there are definitely certain genres that help me concentrate. Usually it has to be without vocals or else I get distracted by listening to the lyrics.
I see there is a #MusicMonday hashtag which is perfect because I was going to ask about music anyway.
What music helps you focus on work tasks like #programming, #reading, or #writing? I've tried a lot of different things but I think my favorites so far are the Coding Mode playlist on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX5trt9i14X7j?si=d753e5c4bd5c49c7) and Brain.fm (https://www.brain.fm/).
@mentor Thank you! I am thinking I might have to sign up for #AdventOfCode this year to give these tools a test drive.
@mattkram @brandonb_phy This might be what I'm looking for! Thank you!
@brandonb_phy Thanks! I've heard of Django but never spent a ton of time trying to use it. Is it mainly built for support web applications or can it be used for python projects that are for non-web purposes?
In the interest of learning new (new-ish I guess since it's not really a new language?) things, I've been working through some introductory #rubyonrails guides. It really makes me wish #python had a built-in template project like "rails new" that creates all the default config settings and files rather than having to build all that from scratch. Unless it has that and I just missed it along the way?

We are extremely excited to share with the climate community (and beyond) the new and improved "Climate Data Guide" (by NCAR).
Explore the background behind 100s of different #weather and #climate datasets, along with the statistical tools to analyze them.
➡️ Check it out at https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/, and do share with your networks! #OpenScience #Data
Also, feel free to reach out to the board of advisors if you have any suggests or data inputs! 🥰

Sat in my hotel room reading up on the #NASA #JPL SPOC (https://github.com/nasa-jpl/SPOC) Machine Learning model for #Mars Rovers and their ability to classify Soil and Objects using their onboard computers. Very cool stuff.
