I have just uploaded a birthday card in Thortful for anyone who has that special someone who spends a lot of time in terminal…

@NoelleCook thanks for such a great thread. I remember listening to Imran Ahmed at a Stop the Steal gathering saying you can hear the past trauma and other issues that lead them to these places. Also, the article about Amy Carlson. She mentions that there is only one Mother God, but several Father Gods because his power is too much for one body? I still find it mind blowing that patriarchy is so deeply routed in even these cults.

I thought I’d kick the year off by reintroducing myself to you all. I’m a 48 year old biology undergraduate and planning a career in marine biology. For the last two years I’ve been obsessed with my local #rockpools but I’ve now switched my main focus to marine #plankton.

I’m married to an amazing web developer @jamesbeston and we #homeeducate our two kids. I’m #nonbinary, probably #neurodivergent, an #atheist, and have 3 kitties.

@Sleestak @jperlow @ChrisPirillo what the hell did they do for Windows 98?!? 😳

When someone has no explanation other than the group they hate is “evil,” you know they’ve reached the end of their cognitive capabilities.

People who lack the ability to reason are dangerous.

I was _supposed_ to be getting back to building out S3 calls today after a week of gratuitous overindulgence. Instead, I’m in bed with what feels like a throat full of razor blades.

@duck@queer.af more importantly: how is yours still full of Lindt balls?!? I swear ours is a Schrödinger ball but with one state... Empty

Merry Christmas everyone!! 🎄

I could post a million favourite photos of the plumose anemones (Metridium senile) I saw dock fouling in Plymouth this autumn. This was one of my top finds because it was so chonky!

@jen I love Sanity! So much so that I bought the t-shirt... And the hoodie. Sanity 3 is a huge step forward, as is Next 13

I finally got around to playing with Playwright for testing. I think combining it with GitHub Actions is going to pay off. I don't mind admitting that this is the first time I've built a site with proper testing of ANY kind 😱

One of the best things about Christmas has to be the Literary Review BUMPER EDITION 🥰📚

Any second now...

@jamesbeston I think first resort before reporting, #mute or #block them. There is not a staff of hundreds or thousands here. Only report if it is extremely toxic and deserving a #ban

It’s so annoying to see the rancid puddle of twitter trolls are leaking over into Mastodon.
It shows they are not interested in “free speech” or an “anti-woke” agenda. Elon is providing the exact, warped version they claim they wanted on Twitter.
Instead they just want to harass, bait and intimidate. Please report them when you see them. They’ve got their playground. I’d like to see this remain a safer space.

Finally, it’s the weekend! I am now starting to explore Mastodon a bit more. Got me a seat at the Fosstodon.org table for one. Trying out Mastonaut for two 👨‍🚀
