Looking for other #trans and other #lgbtqia #lgbt people in #tech or otherwise to follow! Anyone have any recommendations?

@afreytes @SallyStrange my husband takes, on average, five to ten seconds. He snores very very quietly, but barely loud enough for me to know that a. He's sleeping and b. He's still alive.

Me? Sometimes an hour or two. I sleep better than I used to, but still not great.

[EDIT: CLOSED AT THE MOMENT!]

How does 380 zettajoules of heat affect the climate system? Even if only 1 percent (yes you read that right) is going into the atmosphere and 89% into the ocean?

The hottest June on record, the worst wildfire season in Canada, unbearable heat from Asia to Texas, record ocean temps, and much more: and now an El Niño on top.

@hausfath, @MichaelEMann, @StottPeter and I discuss: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/03/a-perfect-storm-scientists-ponder-if-climate-has-entered-a-new-erratic-era

@StillIRise1963 I made my instance admin breakfast. Soon, I'll make him lunch. And I told him I loved him.

LOL my instance is run by my husband.

Oh, you're into black metal? Name three cast iron skillet brands then

@doktormod Lodge, Griswold, and Le Creuset. For a bonus, a no name brand that made my favourite 12" tawa that I paid something like Rs 300 (or around USD1.50) back in, oh, 2007 or 2008. Like literally bio name. No markings of any kind.

As a climate scientist who has warned about the threat of climate change for decades, I think the fact that we just saw what was probably the hottest day in recorded history, and probably in thousands of years, is deserving of attention...

Attention! I recently learned that the behaviour of lying flat out on the belly with arms and legs spread out that some animals do, often to cool off, by radiating heat into the cooler ground, is called "splooting." I personally have been calling it "going full rug", but I guess splooting is also hilarious. So here's a red panda splooting, in case you need a demonstration. #RedPanda

TIME TO FLY BY PAMELA WILLIAMS

A beautiful afternoon walk along the shores of Clearwater Beach in Florida. Seagulls sweeping down amongst the crashing waves as the sun begins its amazing and glorious descent into the western horizon.

Millbrook First Nation, welcomes back historic regalia that had been sitting in a museum in Australia for over a century.

The regalia, consisting of a ceremonial garb worn by Mi’kmaq men alongside a pipe and shoes, were made by a woman in Mi’kmak’i in 1842. The regalia was acquired by a man named Samuel Huyghue.
The regalia was donated to the Museum Victoria in Melbourne, Australia after Huyghue’s death in the mid-1800s. #mikmaki #museum #novascotia https://www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/communities/colchester-county/century-old-mikmaq-regalia-reclaimed-by-millbrook-cultural-and-heritage-centre-100867264/

Remember all those weird fungal diseases people were dying of last year (like Julie Powell, the wonderful author of Julie & Julia)? That COVID-aware people said were likely from #COVID-damaged immune systems?

The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota shared this study last month showing that the rise in hospitalizations for fungal infections...was driven by COVID19-associated fungal infections.

Winter Landscape in Moonlight

@anhdoilc don't forget the utter lack of research attention on this. Too obscure, not understood, Doesn't kill many (pain and suffering doesn't count), no dead kids, men aren't affected that much (unlike women, who don't count).

Yeah. I'm going to go watch a happy food show now. :)

@jolantruchng hugs. That sucks.
