Are you finding Mastodon to be less vibrant/active?
I’m worried that we are not getting as much engagement on our Ukraine war reporting as we used to.
We’re trying to decide which social media platforms to continue posting on, given how much effort it takes to replicate across all of them.
If you want to send a signal to us that we should keep posting here, will you sign up for our newsletter? Counteroffensive.substack.com
I’m only asking Mastodon users today so we can gauge impact.

Ten Years of TIRS: Data for a Thirsty World | Landsat Science
Landsat 8 very nearly flew without a thermal infrared sensor. This is the backstory of how TIRS made it onto Landsat 8.https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/article/author/lrocchio/#author (Landsat Science)
Both Landsat 8 and 9 have optical sensors that collect beautiful images of Earth. 😍 🌏
Called the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and OLI-2, these sensors take measurements in the visible, near infrared, and shortwave infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

I don't want to talk about Aldean's "Small town" lyrics or video.
I do want to point out (again) that the homicide rate in GOP "small town" counties, is higher than that in Dem "big town" counties. 🤡

A white person in a red county has about as much chance of being shot as a Black person in a blue county.🤡
(I don't know how much you know about crime in the USA, but if you have as much risk of being a victim of anything as Black people? That's not good).

There's only 1 Southern city in the top 5 most segregated. Boston is famously segregated. San Francisco has almost no Black people left.

#Tecnoafecciones Pensamos las tecnologías como dispositivos relacionales que median nuestra relación con el mundo, que nos afectan y que afectan los territorios que habitamos.
👉 Eso nos permite otras formas de imaginar sobre las relaciones y los usos que tenemos con ellas.
Muchas veces, ese afectar suele entenderse de manera negativa.
📍 Aquí queremos recuperar la idea de que afectar es inevitable si nos pensamos de manera relacional y no necesariamente debe asociarse a la pérdida o el daño si nos asumimos co-responsables de ese afecto.
Afectar puede ser asumida como una acción política para transformarnos, ser conscientes y responsables de nuestro impacto en lo otro y en les otres.
Acciones para (re)conectar y transformar las tecnologías 🌿🤳
