You know, the more I look at it, the more I think it is mostly cups.

Mary Anning was born in 1799 in Great Britain. Her family lived in poverty, selling fossils to make ends meet.

Scientists of Anning’s day could not believe that a poor young woman could posses her knowledge & talent. She has been described as 'the greatest fossilist the world ever knew' yet many people are still unaware of her incredible contributions.

The majority of Anning’s discoveries ended up in museums & collections without credit. ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/anni… #science #history

this brilliant woman was the first to discover a complete plesiosaur skeleton.

I went hiking along the #JurassicCoast in southwest England this summer and visited Lyme Regis. There’s a lovely statue of Mary Anning and her dog heading out to look for fossils on the beach, and a small museum in the place of her house. If you ever get the chance, go visit (~4h by train and bus from London)!


Ok first of all, today is my first day using this thing in earnest and it’s AWESOME. I’m such a big fan. And I’m giving the thumb shift keys a chance. The blank key is also a CAPS_WORD that capitalizes the next typed word that I’m excited about.

Second of all, this is the first time in a very very long time that I’ve actually SEEN a Dvorak layout on my keyboard. I’ve always either had the keys on QWERTY or just used blanks. How fun. At least this means others can minimally use it.

I wonder if I should actually go back to QWERTY keys and just have a QWERTY layer for lay folk.

I mean it’s not like I ever look at keys when I’m on Dvorak. I learned touch typing REALLY well with it
in reply to Kat Marchán 🐈

I touch type too, but if I happen to look at the keys my brain pays too much attention. 🤷 I didn’t ask for this lol

Btw, go check out swhkd, it's a bit more complex than sxhkd but it's able to work on Wayland.

Wonder what help they can provide for your specific channel other than some generic copywriting.

@ntnsndr based on what I read on that page, the covenant is only to be listed in their server picker, not to join the fediverse. So they would not need to comply with the covenant.
in reply to Ayoub 🇵🇸

@ayoubabedrabbo Right. Similarly, I imagine fediverse servers would need to adhere to certain standards to be able to federate with Threads.

But to be clear, this listing defines the larger part of the fediverse, because if servers federate with noncompliant servers, they can face trouble.

The teaser trailer for Netflix’s live-action series, Avatar: The Last Airbender. We are big Avatar fans in this house (my daughter has watched the original series like 6 times) and our general vibe is “uh, don’t screw this up!” youtube.com/watch?v=waJKJW_XU9…

@phils They have done a phenomenal job with One Piece, so that bodes well.

My husband knows one of the producers for the series (Michael Goi) and the team has worked really closely with the original creators on this new series, which seems like a really good thing. One of the (many many many) problems with the MNS movie version debacle was that it lacked humor - Michael has said there is definitely humor in their version, which again, seems like a really good thing. Can’t wait to see it.
