#followfriday

If you are interested in #biodiversity #climateCrisis and their connections to #politics and #society, I recommend following @Grist - the "nonprofit news org providing vital reporting on our changing planet."

#FollowFriday #journalism #media #JournalismMatters #ecology #environment

If you send a #Follow request, and you don't have any posting history for me to vibe-check, please send a DM to introduce yourself, or have a chat in one of my threads. Just something so I know a bit about you.

I'm turning down around half of new follower requests now, because they have nearly blank profiles and I don't recognize them from any positive interactions.

I don't want to deny your follower request, but I also have started receiving some problematic attention and want to make sure I'm looking after my own enjoyment of Fedi as well as that of others.

#PSA #FollowFriday #VibeCheck

Just want to say it because it needs to be said

We all love @TheEddieShow

#EddieStans

Eddie is just one of the absolute sweetest, kindest humans I've ever met and so for my only ever #followfriday on a Sunday, no less, I would like to just acknowledge him as a wonderful human to be treasured.

P.S. I hate the whole concept of #followfriday because inevitably it ignores so many here that I truly adore, too, so now I'm full of regrets, but I did this because Eddie is trying to refind his people after losing them to an accidental whole instance block....

So follow Eddie if you are a decent human or a human who needs redemption because Eddie is that wonderful.

Thanks.

@SilverPhoenix Many will offer advice and suggestions. My own would be to follow @FediTips for starters, if you haven't already. They give good suggestions. Then maybe follow hashtag #FollowFriday for follow suggestions.

@jeffjarvis #TESCREAL is also a relevant hashtag here and one of the authors of the TESCREAL paper is active on Mastodon: @timnitGebru

It's a little late in the day for a #FollowFriday, but I'd like to introduce you to my friend, @friedoxygen.

He's one of first people who taught me about Mastodon which resulted in me ruining the high tech and high brow sanctity of this space.

Dakin is also one of the very first people I met when I moved to Oakland which immediately made me fall in love with the town. To top it off, he likes great music and he's a great person in every possible way.

If you're looking to balance your timeline full of my dumb boner jokes, I highly recommend following Dakin for solid posts and solid music recs. https://sfba.social/@friedoxygen/114282452563800026

It's #FollowFriday!

Friday is the day we recommend everyone to follow some specific accounts on Mastodon. And today, we're suggesting you follow these accounts from some open-source OS alternatives to Android:

@e_mydata
@GrapheneOS
@calyxos
@iode
@LineageOS
@ubports
@jolla

Even if you don't use all of these operating systems (yet?), it's always good to see the innovation being made by different companies or projects. Isn't it great to have so many alternatives these days?

It's nice to see them on the Fediverse!

Can anyone recommend #PeerTube accounts to follow? I'm specifically interested in science, tech, politics, and gaming content, but please feel free to mention other stuff as well. I currently follow

@thelinuxexperiment
@paige
@ohtheurbanity
@transit

Is this a good use of the #FollowFriday hashtag? Not entirely sure what it's for

Some #RedPanda based accounts for fans of the OG panda to follow.

@RedPandaEveryHr
@RandomHourlyRedPandaBot
@redpandazine

For #FollowFriday I want to tip my ridiculous hat to @Girl_a_whirl . I love her sense of humor and she always gets a laugh out of me.

And finally, the only information you need about tariffs, courtesy of our @CultureDesk.

Philadelphia’s roller-derby league turned 20 last month. For @TheConversationUS, Colleen English wrote about how roller derby became a revolutionary feminist sport.

British Nigerian artist Karl Ohiri was shocked to hear that many photographers in Lagos, Nigeria, burned their old negatives, so he embarked on a project to develop whatever he could find. Here, @thecontinent shares some of the photos that form the Lagos Studio Archives.

Ukraine has been damaged in so many ways by the Russian attack. Veronika Romanova, Mariana Lastovyria, and Artem Moskalenko explore another for @timkmak’s Counteroffensive: The contamination of the soil by metals from mass shelling. France still has “red zones” where toxic levels remain deadly 106 years after the end of WWI, and Ukraine is likely to face the same future, whenever the conflict finishes.

Earlier this week, all American eyes were on Wisconsin as two judges duked it out for a seat on the state’s supreme court — a race that Elon Musk poured millions into. @bolts’s Alex Burness wrote the definitive story on what happened and what it all means. “Today should be a breaking point for our state. Even if your preferred candidate wins, … every single Wisconsinite should be alarmed at this grotesque billionaire arms race,” Nick Ramos, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Center, told Bolts late Tuesday, before the result was announced. “The past two months have shown us a terrifying preview of what’s coming: an America where billionaires run the show, and the rest of us are just spectators.”
