I'm enjoying mastodon so far but wow, all the comments about how white it is are extremely right. Almost all the other trans folks I've found have been white, and I know that isn't representative of the real world or even likely mastodon as a whole. I'd love to hear more from trans and queer POC (and POC all up, I've just been connecting with a LOT of trans folks).

Can anyone boost this to help me find more voices to listen to? Or recommend some hashtags? I don't even know how best to tag this.

Statistical Significance:

“The finding of statistical significance is perhaps the least important attribute of a good experiment; it is never a sufficient condition for concluding that a theory has been corroborated, that a useful empirical fact has been established with reasonable confidence—or that an experimental report ought to be published.”

David Lykken (1968): https://doi.org/10.1037/h0026141

I am trying to find my people on Mastodon. Can you please boost this if you:

-Believe that strawberries could be bigger and that farmers are simply not working hard enough to grow massive strawberries.
-Lie awake at night wondering if the trillions of insects will one day unite to overthrow the human race.
-Suspect that volcanoes are hiding something beneath all that magma.
-Find Tilda Swinton to be terrifying yet oddly attractive.
-Think that you could defeat 50 Smurfs in hand-to-hand combat.

Coverage in the #NYT today on Virginia’s #bourbon lotteries and other assorted strategies. I vastly prefer the #Virginia system where people have a chance at great bottles for retail price over DC’s system where everything shops would sit on bottles until some fool was willing to pay $500 for a $50 bottle of liquor. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/29/dining/drinks/bourbon-prices-american-whiskey.amp.html
Where Did All the Bargain Bourbon Go? Blame the Whiskey Mania.

Bourbon and rye used to be workaday drinks, but prices are being driven way up by speculators, a scramble for bragging rights and a large shot of hype.
