There's a lot of peer pressure on how to just EXIST here I didn't really see on Twitter. Some time it feels like one is being bombarded on all sides.
I think, as I decided on Twitter ages ago, I will commit to being civil and respectful, but beyond that it's my timeline and follows and I'll use them as I please.

Steven T. DennisEye-popping stat:
Per the US Mint, it now costs 2.72 cents (!) to make a single penny. They minted 5 billion last year anyway while ~200 billion sit in jars somewhere.
It costs 10.41 (!) cents to make a nickel. They minted more than a billion of those too.

Jorge Caballero, MDFor #FediFriday / #FollowFriday I made a simple website that lists 5-8 *active* Mastodon accounts for each of the following categories: Columnists, Journalism, Tech, Media, Politics, Authors, Social Justice, Advocacy, Law/Legal, SciComm
Lots of great follows in there (imho), including many familiar faces and some folks you may not (yet) know about.
Check it out, and let me know what you think!

jesshow do you do, fellow kids —
Sheril KirshenbaumIf we calculate how many grains are in a teaspoon of sand (an average) & multiply that by the amount of sand estimated on every beach & desert in the world, we get (roughly) seven quintillion, five hundred quadrillion grains of sand on Earth. https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2012/09/17/161096233/which-is-greater-the-number-of-sand-grains-on-earth-or-stars-in-the-sky #space #science
Meanwhile, there are ~70 thousand million, million, million stars in the observable universe - a figure vastly surpassing all of those grains of sand. The universe is immense, breathtaking & beyond imagination ✨
