Good morning to readers. Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
Some career news: Iβm leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically reduced the companyβs workforce.
Iβve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting.
But this time, alone.
This is what I'm doing right now. Except I'm not a #squirrel. I guess that's obvious.

My husband gifted me this special paintbrush I can use on my I-pad. It works almost like one but does not give me the fine control I like when I paint. Yet I love how my stroke came out on this pink heart.

Valley of the Gwangi has a cowboy punching a pterodactyl. Repeat, A COWBOY PUNCHING a PTERODACTYL
Been working on animations a bit for third person view with metahoomans
Not bad for a few hours right!
I'm not a parent, and I'd be afraid to let my parrot learn science - she runs the house as it is, if she knew how to science, she'd run the world.
But boosted, for sure.
Be a rebel. Cyber on random days, whenever the mood strikes.
Back in my day, you could cyber on any day, not just Monday.
Hello out there!
During the #twittermigration five months ago I joined Mastodon and now with the #calckey surge going on, I'd thought Iβd check out what this side of the #Fediverse is all about.
Iβm a data #journalist with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. My work focuses on data visualization and storytelling, analysis and investigative journalism.
Iβm also a recent dad and an avid #skier, #cyclist and general lover of anything to do with #mountains.
I used to tweet a lot, mainly about news in #Calgary, #Alberta, #Canada, and especially about COVID-19 #data during the first two years of the pandemic. But I quit Twitter in December 2022 because it just became too much.
@ScottSoCal Well, we needed to know when Diaper stock was going to rise....
Our friends at @texastribune picked up the story from us: https://www.texastribune.org/2023/04/24/sid-miller-agriculture-department-texas-anti-trans-dress-code/

By contrast, every time TFG farted, it was on the front page of the NYT.
Good.
The administration actually speaks out all the time, it just doesn't get the coverage.

As of this #writing, it is unclear if Ramsey left over Twitterβs verification subscription service.

This feels like a pile-on by a bunch of people, and you (specifically you, Caroline) are stating facts not in evidence.
Where's the evidence anyone is profiting? Covering costs is NOT the same as profit.
And yeah, wouldn't it be great if everyone could benefit from free, open discussion in an uncontrolled environment? Not everyone can, some people need a controlled environment to cope and open up. That takes resources.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
