Hm, I see that there is now a Greater Manchester instance at mcr.wtf
As I still can't find a cricket instance, maybe this is the moment for me to move servers and relieve pressure on one of the bigger communities?

@katrinanavickas Neither do I, though it was a couple of years ago (all I remember is that I did it the day of my first Covid vaccination). But maybe if you clicked on Manufacture they offered further breakdown?
luis rodilResearching mines in northern Spain I came across this curious object. It's a canary cage designed to keep the canary alive in the event of a gas leak. If a miner saw the canary laying at the bottom of the cage it was time to abandon everything and leave the mine, but not without first closing the latched glass door and opening the valve of the oxygen bottle to save the bird. A miner would do that on their way out and take the bird with them. It's a signifier of the miner's legendary sense of solidarity, no lives lost to the mine on a miners watch. A solidarity that was also crucial in the fight for workers rights, creating safer and more humane working conditions, achievements of unionization and solidarity that some of us still enjoy today.
@TomDelargy Would that not have been achievable with a screencap? It would still have been possible for the stooges to check that the tweet was genuine. Also, that may be easier to pull off if you've got three million followers who will be indignant on your behalf!
@TomDelargy In that other place, however, I often see advice to screencap abusive posts rather than quote-post them, in order to avoid boosting them with consequences for the algorithms. Of course, it is a lot more work!
It's the positive quote posts I miss - I have a friend who loves quoting with an approving comment at the top.

The Pink Test at Sydney began today. It's an annual fundraiser for the McGrath Foundation, which was set up by the late Jane McGrath and her husband Glenn McGrath to provide breast care nurses for communities across Australia. I've bought two virtual seats, for me and my late friend Susan

@rickeyrecricket Everyone keeps trying to steal the credit from the onlie begetter of this excellent mode of dismissal, Thomas Barker. Not only is he the first person known to have done it, he did it *five times* which is still the first-class record. https://stats.acscricket.com/Records/First_Class/Overall/Batting/Run_Out_by_Bowler_while_Backing_up.html
@Maker_of_Things I seem to be the opposite. I have Thunderbird on my desktop, and Gmail in certain categories is automatically redistributed to appropriate folders there. But that means it disappears from the Gmail inbox on Android, so if I'm away from my desk I have to remember to glance at All Mail rather than the inbox to see whether anything important has slipped past me. I'd like to know a better way to handle it, too!
