Amazing seminar tonight at the People's Forum by Dr. Suzanne Pierre about her work with Critical Ecology. I'm particularly interested in how she's working to invite a a broad group of people to participate in scientific knowledge production.
Critical Ecology Lab
Critical Ecology Lab is a space to investigate and explain the ways that the natural world, from soils to the atmosphere, has been shaped by the ideas of racial and cultural supremacy, natural resource exploitation, and social exclusion.Critical Ecology Lab
NASA’s Aqua satellite took this image of the Antarctic peninsula in Dec. 2022 when sea ice around the continent was breaking up and melting—a seasonal occurrence that usually begins in September and continues into February. 🧊

Clear Days for Iceberg Spotting
The summer sky was unusually cloud-free when NASA’s Aqua satellite passed over the Antarctic Peninsula.go.nasa.gov
But the decline so far in the 2022-2023 season has been especially steep.
According to the @NSIDC, the extent of sea ice around Antarctica at the end of December 2022 was the lowest in 45 years of satellite records.

#FediBlock for pizzaf.art
Another Nazi shitposting instance. CWs in link text.
- admin “pizzog” has a profile bio that opens with “henchman and doxer”.
- Another user, “Sprate”, mains on ChudBuds and links their KF account.
- User “PodAwful” has a bio which is basically just a slur, and they mostly post death threat jokes: exhibit A, exhibit B. They were apparently banned from ChudBuds over this, which explains their presence on PizzaFart.
Instance appears related to PodAwful as per their homepage footer link and the presence of the aforementioned “PodAwful” user.

I arrived as a Senate staffer in 2006 with a Masters in policy, but academic training did not prepare me for the job.
I spent my 1st morning marveling at how interested my colleagues seemed to be in “R&D,” assuming it reflected a shared appreciation of research & development (a term that broadly encompasses science policy issues). Science touches everything after all.
An hour later, I sheepishly discovered they were simply referring to Republicans & Democrats. sheril.substack.com/p/the-fict… #politics

Who won’t shut up in meetings? Men say it’s women. It’s not.
Perspective by Adam Grant
Adam Grant is an organizational psychologist at the Wharton School.
'The Japanese Olympic Committee was discussing steps for bringing more women onto boards in sports. The male leader of the Tokyo Olympics organizing committee voiced a grave concern: “When you increase the number of female executive members, if their speaking time isn’t restricted to a certain extent, they have difficulty finishing, which is annoying.” The man was Yoshiro Mori, a former prime minister of Japan. He resigned from the Tokyo committee last Friday over the remarks, which he’d made at a virtual meeting Feb. 3.
'When people make claims about behavior in groups, my job as an organizational psychologist is to look at the evidence. The pattern is clear and consistent: It’s usually men who won’t shut up. Especially powerful men...'

The word “invasivore” is a portmanteau combining “invasive Species” with the Latin root “devorare” meaning to swallow (as in "herbivore" or “carnivore”). Thus, #invasivore = one who eats invasive species, those organisms that have been introduced around the world and cause massive environmental and economic damages.
Our website invasivore.org/ serves a buffet of knowledge about #invasivespecies. At the core of our approach are #recipes featuring invasive ingredients, but we also provide species profiles describing notorious invaders, harvesting tips, exposition and commentary on related topics, summaries of relevant #science and #research, and roundups (#InvasionBites!) of the latest #news and other media about invasive species.
We believe that #education and #awareness can decrease the impacts of invasions by controlling existing populations and preventing new introductions.

The word “invasivore” comes from combining “Invasive Species” with the latin for “devour” as in “carnivore”. Thus invasivore = one who eats invasive species and invasion science.invasivore.org

mailcow uses docker and other containers so it will use a lot of memory too. your best bet is vanilla postfix.
mailcow is easy to use because it got services together tied up and ready to use, your webmail, caldav, even antivirus to scan attachments (but you can disable it to save memory)
oh you need, mailcow is demanding. I'm lazy guy 😂
I use snikket instead of Prosody and mailcow instead of postfix. demanding but easy to setup

If you're interested in upcoming features on #Mastodon, there's an official public roadmap at:
The abbreviations before each feature tell you which part of Mastodon it concerns. "MAS" means the web interface and core functions, "AND" means the official Android app, "IOS" means the official iPhone/iPad app.
Third party apps and interfaces will have their own roadmaps which may be completely different, as they are made independently by third party teams.
