This is actually my 2nd Mastodon acct. I was never able to regain access to it or figure out migration so I'm starting over w/ a new #introduction
I am a #Freshwater #Algae ecologist! I study algae and their macromolecules (mainly #FattyAcids) as a way to learn how human actions affect #Biodiversity and #FoodWebs. I work at a #PUI #SLAC where in between all the teaching, I mentor #Undergraduate #Research students on freshwater and other ecology projects!

You left out the most important part - your height has to be in angstroms. You can get that by using your height in millimeters, then multiplying by 10,000,000.
#thoughts about blue bird-
So I haven't posted anything on the bird site or done anything except randomly look at a few posts.
So today someone linked to a story. I clicked over and was reading some of the comments. This was a post about wearing masks, and one man said how he had cancer and that he was still wearing mask.
The hatred, ugliness and utter vitriol coming from his fellow tweeters? In just a few short days I had forgotten how revolting it is over there. Glad I left. #twitterhate
This is outrageous. Fuck theocracies everywhere. Fuck the patriarchy everywhere. h/g @SChenHayes@twitter.com #Afghanistan

BREAKING: The Taliban have banned women from universities.
This is a shameful decision that violates the right to education for women and girls in Afghanistan. The Taliban are making it clear every day that they don't respect the fundamental rights of Afghans, especially women.

Meanwhile over on the #birdsite, even the Oregon and Washington Bureau of Land Managementβs social media team is trolling Musk. π€£
@snowy Not before they received a sound thrashing, I trust?

I had a thought, but it got lonely and wandered off to find others of its kind.
For any trans people who need to hear this:
Your body is beautiful. You're worthy of being desired, if that's something you want.
Whether you choose to transition (and in whatever direction you want), and wherever you are in that process -- you're seen, you are believed, and I'm proud to be your sibling.
When you look in the mirror, you deserve to hear, "Hey, Beautiful." If you don't hear it in your voice, hear it in mine.
Your strength is incredible. You come from a long tradition of transgender people, stretching back to the earliest days of humanity.
Let the haters shout into the void. You don't need to. The Void already loves you. β¨β

I see there's chatter about creators being discouraged from posting their shop links and promoting their art for sale etc. on fedi.
Most of the pre-influx userbase of the fediverse chose to come here because they're tired of corporations and capitalism. They are very eager to support indie creators and very receptive to seeing shop links, Patreon/Ko-Fi links, commission sheets, etc.
I encourage our members to share their shop links liberally. People want to support you here. π
Female students have been banned from Universities in Afghanistan with immediate effect, the Taliban has said.
Womenβs rights being disregarded, yet again. Iβm incandescent with rage for Afghan women & girls, they deserve equal access to education π‘

@scrumble_eggs I thought God commanded a bris?
Oh, HU-bris. Never mind. I was thinking of something else.

One of his companies relies on the ability of vendors, to handle the practical aspects of what they're doing.
"Your contract says to send you data, but it doesn't say what data you want."
"Just, you know, whatever you'd normally put in. Just like, give us the regular stuff."
