The green part of this oak leaf didn’t get the “autumn memo” because of the activity of Ectoedemia heringi leaf miners.
The miner blocks off the chlorophyll return valves in the leaf with the help of some bacteria, extending the growing season for the larva 🐛

I'm a totally blind software tester with previous testing experience. I know there are many of you in the #Fedivers working on many cool projects, I'd love to test them for accessibility if you're looking for an accessibility tester or any accessibility consultancy please get in touch :-) if everyone could repost this, that would be great thanks very much :-) #a11y #Blind #Accessibility

✨️ Yesterday I've posted a story about the Gallo-roman city of Arlon, ancient Orolaunum. When I was visiting Arlon's Archaeological museum, I was surprised by these colourful spherical balsamarii 🏮- they were found at the local necropolis of Hochgericht. 📸 I am sharing here some more pics of them. 🙂

So, this very cool!

Just in time for the 2024 election cycle, Indivisible @indivisibleteam, has shuttered their Twitter account and relocated their social media presence to Mastodon.

With the goal of building a broad coalition of voters that support Democratic candidates to eliminate the filibuster, codify Roe, pass democracy reform and unrig the courts, Indivisible aligns well with Mastodon values.

Indivisible had more than 250K followers on Twitter. Let's welcome them here!

This is the 4th in a series of one lovely cluster of wild cyclamens. The ivy-like leaves are now fully developed like the flower potted versions we see in nurseries. It’s been almost 2 months since I first spotted the blooms without any leaves in my favorite garden and it’s been a lot of fun watching this plant grow.

Reading this book and finding it raises important issues about who grows vegetables and fruit in Britain, what the status of horticulture is as a career, and how everyday racism is so devastating. It’s a good book - give it a go #bookstodon

#Mastodon interaction lessons-learned:

— Be authentic.

— Like life, everyone is on their own journey and timeframe. Don’t compare yourself to others in posting frequency or content.

— Follower counts don’t define your/others’ value.

— When deciding between engaging and withdrawing, err on the side of engaging.

— Sometimes, threads you’re mentioned on just conclude. Your presence didn’t cause it to die.

— An ongoing conversation among mutuals isn’t purposefully excluding you. Most likely, they’d be happy to have you join in.

— Sometimes, people will stop interacting with you. As long as you weren’t being a jerk, it’s probably not about you, and you need to just let it go.

— Likes are unlimited. Go ahead and like that post; it’ll make the author’s day a bit brighter.

— If your post doesn’t receive likes, it’s okay. Your awesome post just got lost in the shuffle.

— Lifting up others feels really f$*cking good. Whether on Masto or elsewhere, aim to find yourself in a community where this is the norm.

"In a day of evidence that placed increasing focus on Sunak’s role, the inquiry also heard that his flagship “eat out to help out” hospitality scheme was imposed without consulting the government’s Covid taskforce, leaving officials “blindsided” by the Treasury."
