Red Squirrel.
I haven't failed to notice the popularity of red squirrel images, so here's one, jumping through a blizzard, in the Scottish Highlands.
Thanks for all the kind words, comments, boosts and likes, on my images. And I appreciate all my followers, new and existing. ☺️
I'll try to keep sharing images over the festive period, both from my archives and from days out.
Eat the grass, smell the flowers.

This is my introduction post. I don’t know how this thing works yet but hope it’s a life-raft to escape Twitter.
I’m a sociologist at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I specialize in disasters, environment, cities, and the sociology of science. Looking for people to follow in those areas.
The work of the January 6 committee drives home the significance of the disinformation campaign to sow doubt in the election — documenting how Trump and his close allies used that campaign to motivate and mobilize supporters, leading to the events of January 6 and disrupting our country's long history of the peaceful transfer of power.
I love that you can "verify" yourself on this platform and that it's not a status symbol but an actual verification that you are who you say you are. #twittermigration
There's a conspiracy theory circulating online that our research identifying repeat spreaders was some kind of "watch list" that we developed under direction from the government and/or as part of a social media platform censorship effort. None of that is true. This was an independent, student-driven project whose findings we published through blogs, tweets, presentations, and a peer-reviewed paper. We're extremely proud of that work. Here again is the link to our paper: https://journalqd.org/article/view/3137
Journalist & suffragette Ida B. Wells-Barnett was a founding member of the NAACP. She was known for her tireless crusade against lynching.
After the lynching of her friend, Tommie Moss, https://tinyl.io/7Zwg, Wells-Barnett investigated the causes of lynching.
Her writings on white mob violence resulted in her Memphis, TN newspaper being torched; she moved to Chicago afterward. https://tinyl.io/7Zwi

Well...this seems bad.
Meet Toka, an Israeli camera hacking firm set up by former PM Ehud Barak and the IDF’s ex-cyber chief. It sells only to intel bodies and law enforcement and allows them to “access” and “alter” camera feeds.
The California slumlord is a special kind of awful because they have rent control on their property taxes and use all the profit from that to make sure renters don’t get rent control

Most people are kind, I think. It's just that the hateful voices are often the loudest - not here though. Thank you for the reminder: #kindness matters x

@amywestervelt also people can do quote toots right now in exactly the way they started on twitter: make a post with a link to the other post. eventually the software implementations (there are more than one here!) will figure out ways to make it nicer and hopefully also add accordances for consent and better expression of intent/usage. but it’s possible to quote-post now so folks should just do it if they want and we’ll all figure it out as we go.
Happy Chanukah Merry Christmas Happy Kwanza!
