For context, this is one of my favorite climate graphs, showing 800,000 years of atmospheric CO2, including the massive run-up over the past century. We're now around 420 parts per million (ppm), more than anytime in 800,000 years (actually more than anytime in the past 5 million years) and completely outside the natural ups and downs in the record. This is the driver of the current #climate crisis.
Hi Mastodon! I’m here!
I read this elsewhere: If trusted news outlets would start offering #Mastodon instances to their staff, that would bring some sort of verification and visibility. Think social.nytimes.com, social.heise.de etc. I'd love to read more from trusted journalists on the #fediverse and this could greatly help. (Again, not my idea but couldn't find the original author.) Boosts for visibility would be great. Reminder: Favorites don't help as on this other platform.

Data out today shows that the bivalent booster works as billed, raising antibody levels against Omicron BA.4/BA.5 fourfold, compared to the original vax

Sadly, US uptake continues to be dismal, at only 8.4% nationwide

As levels of new Omicron variants in the US rise, do yourself a favor and #getboosted

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

Please remember to add text descriptions to images, audio and video posts, to make them accessible to blind and deaf users.

You can add descriptions to an attachment by clicking "Edit" on the website, or by typing directly on top of the attachment on the official app.

Describe both visuals and audio (if present).

Also, use CamelCase on hashtags (where the first letter of every word is capitalised). This allows screen readers to say each word aloud correctly.

Unlike Twitter, when you 'like' (Favourite) something here, it doesn't share that interaction with your followers.

If you've found a post or a piece of art that you've enjoyed - boost that toot!
