Few days ago a train carrying hazardous materials derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. Crews have since been burning off the toxic chemicals. Claims that air/water quality are safe are turning out to be false. Evacuation orders are even being lifted as people return to the area. https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/10zt6c2/few_days_ago_a_train_carrying_hazardous_materials/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=2&utm_content=share_button

Chris Trottier9/ To me, documentation & onboarding is the most obvious problem of the Fediverse and it affects everyone.
1. Newbies don't know how to create accounts
2. Operators don't know how to create instances
3. Devs don't know how to build software
A whole lot about the Fediverse is trial and error. So many of us are coming in blind.
What is needed -- critically -- is an easier way for people to learn about how everything works.
Yes, @feditips is a godsend. But even trying to find them can be hard.

This is Elmo, another of our many stray resident cats at Flamingo Gardens. He's a friendly big guy who loves to greet everyone with rubs.

Today we did a butterfly release into the pavilion.

Erotic Mythology 💘Happy Imbolc to everyone celebrating 💚
#Imbolc is a Gaelic festival set at the midway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It is an agricultural festival celebrating the lambing season and the imminent return of Spring.
This is the first year where Imbolc will be a public holiday in the Republic of #Ireland.
ellefriend: omg squid eggs aren't they cute?!

Jason HickelA shift to nutritious plant-based diets in high-income nations alone would reduce less-necessary production and land use, cutting dietary emissions by 61% and sequestering 98.3 Gt CO2eq, equal to 14 years of current global agricultural emissions. https://www.nature.com/articles/s43016-021-00431-5
Dietary change in high-income nations alone can lead to substantial double climate dividend | Nature Food
A dietary shift from animal-based foods to plant-based foods in high-income nations could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from direct agricultural production and increase carbon sequestration if resulting spared land was restored to its antecedent natural vegetation. We estimate this double effect by simulating the adoption of the EAT–Lancet planetary health diet by 54 high-income nations representing 68% of global gross domestic product and 17% of population. Our results show that such dietary change could reduce annual agricultural production emissions of high-income nations’ diets by 61% while sequestering as much as 98.3 (55.6–143.7) GtCO2 equivalent, equal to approximately 14 years of current global agricultural emissions until natural vegetation matures. This amount could potentially fulfil high-income nations’ future sum of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) obligations under the principle of equal per capita CDR responsibilities. Linking land, food, climate and public health policy will be vital to harnessing the opportunities of a double climate dividend. The exact contribution of alternative diets to climate change mitigation depends on several factors, including where these diets are adopted. This study quantifies avoided greenhouse gas emissions that would result from a shift to EAT–Lancet diets in 54 high-income countries through agricultural production and the restoration of natural vegetation in saved lands.
