First toot ever! #politics #environment #greenwave

Ed Conway from #SkyNews takes a #deepdive into the world of #hydrogen and looks at how it will power our future as the world tries to pivot away from oil and gas.

As part of his #investigation he has travelled to an oil refinery in #Cologne (Germany), a chemical plant in the north east of England (UK) and taken a ride on a hydrogen train in Berlin (Germany).

If you are new to Mastodon coming from the Twitter, here are a few amazing Mastodon features that are NOT ON TWITTER. Enjoy! 🐘​

1. Content Warnings CW ⚠️​

It allows you to display a warning but hides the content of your post. Here’s a short guide I wrote about it: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/109282181601490676

2. Slow Mode 😌

In Preferences > Appearance, you can select the option “Slow mode” to hide automatic feed updates. You will then have to click at the top of the timelines to see new posts (ex: “10 new items”).

3. Custom Emojis ​

When you write a post (called a toot here), you can select emojis that are custom to your server (called an instance here). In the toot field, click on the 😃 button labelled "Insert emoji" at the bottom (this will vary on mobile apps) to see what’s available there. Some are really neat! ​

4. Mastodon is different ​

There is no suggestion algorithms here, no promotion, no ads. This is a community. You can be more of your true complex and unique self. Engage with others genuinely. Follow others you like no matter their followers count. Describe yourself and what interests you in your bio, you are not as limited by characters count here.

Be yourself. Leave the toxicity out, it is not valued here. Respect others. Be a kind human. Share what you love. Make friends ​

“Eton College has apologised after it was claimed girls visiting from a nearby state school were subjected to misogynistic language and racial slurs.”

Great little documentary on by ABC News yesterday, “The Challenging Struggle of Long Covid,” https://youtu.be/lGGtXpSpiJY

They cite the statistic of 9 million people with #LongCovid, presumably referring just to the U.S. population. That is a lot of adversity and #disability being experienced by our fellow citizens. Most Americans have had #covid now, and at least 5% of those are left with long-term consequences of it.

The worst #publichealth crisis of a generation, and yet largely ignored.

#Introduction

Poem:

The Poet sits up in
Bed, so inspired, she lets
Her tea grow cold.
It's like this,
She tells you, turning
Prose like a prayer-wheel.

There are sacrifices to be made
… metaphors to metamorphosise

And she smiles.
Knowing you’re smiling
Too.
