Hey Mastodon! 🐘 New server so just a quick #introduction

I’m a Data Engineer, currently doing my masters degree (or attempting to) in the same field. I’m also still trying to learn how to swing from vines and speak with apes. 🌿

🐸 Interests include but aren’t limited to: #scifi #fantasy #dnd #pokemon #gaming (#xbox #switch) #science #technology #trees #nature #reading #books #art #urbanism #plants #greenenergy #computing #opensource #software

Hope to discover new adventures here 🌍

ATLANTA!!! I am coming to you on April 18, in conversation with Aislinn Brophy 7 PM at Little Shop of Stories.

RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/charlie-jane-anders-with-aislinn-brophy-promises-stronger-than-darkness-tickets-576341050597

We are enjoying a weekend of well-earned downtime after one of the most rollercoaster weeks imaginable. We are so grateful to everyone who interacts with us here or helped in any way. No foolin! 🙂

All one needs to know about the higher gasoline prices we experienced in 2022 can be seen in ExxonMobil financial reports.

10-year average of yearly profits prior to 2022: $18.9B
2022 profits: $55.7B

This GOP nowhere stunt would not impact gas prices by one cent per gallon

It would slow our progress towards a clean energy portfolio at a point where there is no time to waste making that progress.

In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory.

It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don't shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren't damaged; they're strengthened, matured, humbled. The U.S. needs to do same with slavery.

Not that complicated.

@vyr Also if you use a Mac released this decade or an iPhone/iPad/Android device—basically anything except an old-school PC—you're using an ARM processor and that architecture was designed by Sophie Wilson, who is trans. It's the most widely used computer architecture. Computing this century is trans.

Back in the day, we didn’t have your fancy Altoids tins. If we wanted to pretend that no one knew we were hiding drugs, we had to hollow out a Bible.

The six feet rule was always bullshit with an airborne virus but it is not completely lacking in value. There are people who I still will not get within six feet of.

Look at all these people that revolve around me like I'm their sun. Talia_christine@mstdn.social

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility

My husband sent me a link to an adoptable Newfoundland puppy and then said we can’t handle another dog so I want to know what brand of cruelty this is.

I mean, he’s not wrong but also he’s very wrong.

Meanwhile... as I try to fold laundry, Casey parks himself.
