Health and Safety Executive
I am sharing this manually from LinkedIn as there is concern people are going to forget about this risk, in their rush to re-open. All the plumbing left unused since the lock down started poses a potential risk.

@freemo @globcoco Just listening to Faster, by George Harrison, (a song with video about motor racing) switch over to linkedin, scroll down and find a picture and that it is Jackie Stewarts birthday (he was a racing driver) probably equally spooky at the time the video was made, which I guess was the 70's as George was still in the Beatles during the 70s
Unity 2019 LTS is here!
Improved workflows and maximum stability - this is #Unity2019LTS.
All kicking off in London,protesters were meant to be out by 17:00 hrs
London protests: Demonstrators clash with police
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53031072
While they are all in London protesting, and people debate (or rather argue and shout in to the either) on Twitter and No doubt facebook,
Contrasting to here on the Fediverse.
Here on Mastodon, we are discussing how to add tags to posts and I am commenting on a Astronomy post suggesting people look for alternative images to illustrate Hubbles Tuning fork galaxy classification system. Oh we are discussion other intellectual stuff too.
I am writing a blog post to try and promote both qoto as a social media platform for STEM and the discourse forum
https://personaljournal.ca/y7bajnqheu
Hopefully this post can help to promote what we are doing here, but also not imply that I am in some way running the whole thing, People have this tendency to make assumptions and not ask, or even when you tell them, they fail to get things.
In the first instance the post will be just published, but I will share it and hopefully be able to include text with any share link to help explain further.
I have also added a blunt statement at the end about not asking about facebook,
Hope this helps. ;
Mastodon Apps
On the https://joinmastodon.org/ page there is a link to a page with info on Mastodon Apps could I suggest this link also appears on the qoto.org front page please,
Partly as people may not know how to find the other site if we are directing people here as a STEM focussed instance.
For Follow Friday I wanted to share a few great users, some of whom have newer accounts moved from other instances so they could really use some followers.
and some oldies but always been a good follow:
Interested in Technology, Science, Chemistry, Education, Fediverse, GNU/Linux and free software.
