The smaller Fairphone 6 introduces swappable accessories

The Fairphone 6 is smaller and lighter but offers better battery life and a more modular design, making it easier to repair and upgrade than other phones.

Wednesday, it's Captain!

A cosmic thank you and shout out to @sundogplanets for standing up for equality and helping women in physics succeed. I’m having an awful time with an all-male physics faculty and she is one of the few helping. Apparently men don’t like it when women get recognition and awards for solo work that they can’t just slap their man names on. Well, too fricken bad! Women are a creative force that should and shall contribute to physics!

' Looking for her next challenge, [Faith] Kipyegon announced this past April that with the help of her longtime partner, Nike, she will attempt to run a mile in under four minutes and become the first woman to do so. '

Breaking4 is revolutionary for women in sport

However, this event is more than just her next challenge. With longstanding sexism in sports continuing to affect women, Kipyegon’s attempt to achieve the sub-4:00 mile is a historic assertion of female power within sports and beyond.

Another option I haven't explored following this request:
Is there an institute, university, or lab in Europe that would be willing to host a mastodon server? Reach out to me if you think this would be possible at your place of work or if you're interested in figuring it out.
Resources required are relatively small for our size.

Some reassurance: the server will not close, I just prefer thinking way in advance for long-term sustainability.

"I'll have what she's having."

Mastodon - where lewdness is educational and intelligent. A video of two bees having a romp in the grass. One is upside down, facing left, gripping the grass. The other is on top facing right. There is some gentle gyrating and several orgasms. Genuinely fascinating.

But if you don't want to see fornicating bees ... I'd suggest you don't hit 'play'.
