Well done to the Carpentries for not only leaving Twitter (see hachyderm.io/@thecarpentries/1…) but also for developing jointly with rOpenSci a Mastodon Quick Start Guide to support everyone willing to move to Mastodon: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1001985…
Mastodon Quick Start Guide
This guide was developed by rOpenSci and The Carpentries to help break down barriers for our community members interested in adopting Mastodon as a social media platform.Zenodo
Last year we released a statement in which we said we will continue “to monitor changes at Twitter in conjunction with internal discussions about whether our presence on the platform will continue.”We now announce that as of today, 20 October 2023, all our #socialmedia engagements will be from this Mastodon account, as well as LinkedIn and YouTube, and none from our 5 #Twitter / X accounts.

It appears to me that the logic does not follow? Help me understand.
My understanding is that neoliberalism is characterised by free markets, deregulation, privatization, globalization, individualism, and monetary policy.
Neither neoliberalism nor climate caused changes to building codes to ensure new buildings are safer or inflation driven largely by authoritarian covid lockdowns and command and control economic actions by western nations taken as a result, and I'm unsure of how neoliberalism or climate change would be the cause of lower than expected donations.
Realistically, the past 50 years have seen many waterways get much much better in the west.
Under capitalism (and neoliberalism is extreme capitalism) everything has a price, and thus must be paid for. In general, waterways are "commons" thus do not have prices for meany things, or are cross subsidized by meany stakeholders. Over the last 40 years we have tried (and often failed) to bring this "price logic" to enclose the water "commons" this is going through a new wave in the UK lead by #CRT and #mainstreaming thinking.
It's making a mess.
One of the reasons I like arthropods more than vertebrates, is there is just so much more diversity. You can read about a new weird bug or sponge every day for the rest of your life. With vertebrates it's just like everything is either a cute fuzzy, scary fuzzy, ugly skin creature or lizard/snake/toad/fish(kinda cute)
Mammals especially are boring.
And I'm confidently thinking such thoughts and then I run into this.
Is it even real?
I take it all back.
