OK. We've gotten this list pretty close to 100 excellent #climate and #energy advocates, communicators and educators. Scroll up in this thread if you're seeing this for the first time through someone's boost and want the full list of great people to follow. After this update I think I'm going to call it a day on daily updates. I'm pretty happy with what I've pulled together here. I hope it has helped you!
If someone wants to turn this into a list on github or something so that others can find everyone, please do go ahead and do it.
A quick reminder before I conclude: Every - including me - is new to this platform. I've noticed lots of my fellow migrants getting huffy over being held to the rules and norms here. Please don't do that. The only reason this place exists for you to migrate to is because of the people - both admins and community - who built it. Pull your head in and don't be a pumpkinhead. The bird place is still there for you if you'd prefer to be there.
And with that done, here's just a couple of new people to add to the list:

PatsKarvelasThis is similar to Twitter I suppose. #auspol
Anyone interested in #LongCovid should follow @fitterhappierAJ who has been instrumental in understanding that Covid degrades our immune systems, raising risks from other diseases of all kinds.

#Australia’s e-safety commissioner discussing safety & security on #Twitter at #SenateEstimates right now is worth tuning in to.

Morning folks, time for my first Mastodon thread (!)
Ahead of the #midterms tomorrow, I want to talk about the tragic politicisation of science in the US.
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when the Republicans became the anti-science party, but the process probably began in the 1980s, when the Christian right first emerged as a major force in conservative American politics.
Since then, the journey has been smooth and swift, and there is now a stunning partisan divide on confidence in science 😥
Shuja JamalQueensland Labor passed a unanimous motion at its annual State Conference on Nov. 6 in support of the #StopHazaraGenocide campaign.
There's growing recognition in Australian politics about the threats faced by the Hazaras. #AusPol
