The wonderful folks @gbif have a new @Mastodon server ! I intend to move my account to that server if my request is accepted. Those interested in #biodiversity #ecology #citizenscience should consider joining the new server or moving their accounts there.

https://biodiversity.social

biodiversity.social

Biodiversity.social is for anyone working in, studying, or with general interest in areas of biodiversity. The server is managed by the GBIF Secretariat.

"One finds in this sad world that among mean-spirited persons, the greater their incompetence and inefficiency, the sharper their sense of self-importance and the more virulent their ambition to occupy unsuitable high official posts."

"The strange thing is that, to his dying day, the mulish bigot regards his dull opiniatrety as somehow meritorious, a characteristic worthy to be honored. He never realizes that he has made himself a despised laughing stock, and that sensible people want nothing more to do with him. He has, in fact, achieved happiness. I understand that such joy, the wallowing well-being of a pig in its sty, is even called pig's happiness."
