It's my birthday! 🎂 I'm 56 today!

Can I haz boosts???

The problem with a lot of ocean "exploitation" is that it's like mining a human for calcium. Yes, a human body contains ~1kg of calcium, and you could take it out, but it's already *doing* quite a lot of useful things, and the human has far more potential to help you if you leave the calcium alone.

🗺️ Climate crisis and COP29: What’s new in science and climate?

This year’s UN climate conference is especially crucial as rising global temperatures exacerbate extreme events like the recent devastating floods in Spain.

My county doesn't give “I Voted” stickers.

Yours too? Go to your local polling place, and while you're checking in to vote, you should think to yourself, "I should tell them I want stickers next time.”

Don't say it aloud, of course. The nice volunteer you're dealing with has been there since 5 AM, is selflessly serving our country, and can't do anything about stickers anyway. Your thought-protest has been counted.

And then VOTE FOR HARRIS LIKE YOUR COUNTRY DEPENDS ON IT, because IT DOES.

Hello good people. It is election day. I hope you exercise your right to vote. Let's be good to each other today and take care of this country that is still so full of promise and good people.

Some day, I'm going to need you all to read your latest toot to me in your own voice. Because it just struck me how many different accents and languages there would be, even just in my little local corner of the Fediverse.
Alright, that is a brilliant Halloween decoration.

This is your reminder...

There is no algorithm that brings posts to your timeline. The only posts you will see under your Home tab will be either people that you follow, or the boosts from people that you follow.

BOOSTING IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF MASTODON.

If you read something that is interesting, funny, thought provoking, news worthy, or beautiful, then BOOST IT.

Hitting "Favorite" lets the poster know that you liked it BUT IT DOESN'T LET ANYONE ELSE KNOW.

Keep Mastodon alive. BOOST.
