Physicist John Tyndall is often credited w discovering the greenhouse effect, which he wrote about in 1859.

But female scientist Eunice Foote published a paper - 3yrs earlier - demonstrating how atmospheric water vapor & CO2 affected solar heating. She theorized that heat trapping gases in Earth’s atmosphere warm its #climate.

Tyndall was widely read. And Foote, being a woman, wasn't even permitted to present her own work.

If you've noticed Mastodon.social being offline a few evenings this week, it was actually under DDOS those nights. When I asked, I was told the best way to help with Mastosoc's scaling and resiliency-under-pressure issues would be to help them fill this open job posting for a devops position with Mastodon gGMBH:

If you know anyone who might be qualified for this position, pass it on!

Boat on a Beach series

2023-01-28/29 day 226/227 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off).

I started with a reference photo, and after I painted the first one, I decided to experiment with various styles and methods. I was curious, and what better way to learn?

I’m curious which one you like most? I mean, I know which one I prefer, and Fahim gave me his vote as well, but what about you?

I really miss having @qikipedia posting facts over here. For a week or so, they did and then they’ve gone back to only posting on Twitter 😞

So I guess I’ll have to repeat their facts since I do enjoy them … but then there is no quoting posts and I have to resort to screenshots .. Ah, well 🙂

Apple in Oil

2023-01-20 day 221 of doing art every day for a year (mostly - I took sick days off).

Some friends commented about a previous piece, titles Oranges in Oil, and how they expected oranges swimming in oil, like a food item. Totally fair. This piece was titled prior to their comments, so it stays. Just because.
