As usual history has erased the truth. It was #JoanMastodon, not #JohnMastodon. She is the one who de-extincted the giant woolly beasts of the great plains using DNA culled from a single tooth! Joan rode upon the back of the greatest tooter of them all to San Francisco, where a herd of ancient Pleistocene mammals defeated the Bad Car Man! Long live Joan! Long live Mastadonity! #noxp

@annaleen I had to locate the original targets for hundreds of dead links, but I finally found this image of Joan Mastodon holding the newly manufactured federatium core that powers Mastodon to this day.

@sarahc @annaleen I absolutely love #JoanMastodon! When she was still at a research institution, well, I heard she ran her lab like a worker's coop, against all the traditions of academia
@lizzard @sarahc she made sure all her postdocs had health insurance and supported unionization for graduate student researchers
@annaleen @lizzard @sarahc
I bet everyone in the team got credited for their research instead of just the principal investigator!
@sarahc @annaleen apropos, as the server admins are asking that we continue โ€œbearingโ€ with them
