The Organised Chaos band will be performing at Hot Numbers, Gwydir St, Cambridge at 19:30 on 20 January 2023 with Peter Shepherd on piano, Bert Schilperoort on drums @jikahn on bass, and me on alto sax, possibly with another front line player TBD. In the spirit of Martin Kemp, our much missed friend and leader,, we'll have a few invited guests doing spots with us.
Please boost

Hey all, with the continued influx of Twitter people, I'm once again seeing a drop in the number of people who add alt text/image descriptions to what they post, denying access to many disabled users here.

Exactly how you do this varies by Mastodon client app, but it is usually just below the image once you upload & before posting.

Even a short-but-useful description is better than nothing—focus on what you're trying to get others to get from the image rather than describing every detail.

Am I the only person who thought this was a caterpillar at 1st glance?

Every time “Can’t you just” starts to come out of your mouth, that is a cue to:

1. STOP
2. repeat to yourself, “I do not understand”
3. and then listen.

Practice the habit in advance, so you’re ready in the moment. I’ve certainly found •I• have to. It is so hard to tame this unhelpful reflex! But it’s also possible.

I have just learned there is a #mosstodon hashtag here. I recently encountered some very cool moss covering the Eldhraun Lava Field in Iceland. The moss makes the lava look like trolls!

@galactico @Sunny05 @Spiggitzfan Yeah, they're European Bee Eaters.
Show threadSunnyNov 22, 2022
@WetLettuceLeaf @galactico @Spiggitzfan Thank you! They sure are beautiful. I wonder how old they are and how much they weigh - must be a sturdy limb. They sure are snuggled in closely, all nine, if I counted correctly. Anyway, thanks for the answer about what kind.

@Spiggitzfan silly birbs. I’ve never seen birds sit together like this. If anything, they sit on the same tree or wire, but never bunched up like this. I wonder what they’re trying to accomplish here.

@ruleofthree maybe they're cold?
Show thread333 Nov 22, 2022
@Spiggitzfan that does make sense. but still, most birds I see are at most passive to each other and don’t get this close.
