Via @decolonialatlas "Each 8th of July, at 11:15 UTC, 99% of the world's population is experiencing daylight. This day should have a name, and it should be a holiday." Original source: https://www.timeanddate.com/news/astronomy/99-percent-sunlight
99% of Population in Sunlight: July 8 Isn’t the Only Date

Our Sun data confirm an internet meme claiming 99% of the world’s population gets sunlight at 11:15 UTC on July 8. But does it happen on other dates, too?

Mastodon: I’m Indie.

BlueSky: I'm edgy.

Threads: I'm desperate.

Twitter: I'm a dick.

America was founded on the promise of freedom and equal rights for all.

In reality, this has always been unevenly applied. Freedom is a constant battle, and everyone’s rights are FAR from equal.

The most American thing we can do is to keep pushing hard for freedom, liberty, and truly equal rights for EVERYONE.

👋 Hello! Looks like quite a few more people are coming here as part of a #TwitterMigration. Welcome to the #fediverse!

GBH News is a PBS/NPR station in #Boston, MA. We start the day with a news roundup and a lighthearted poll. #introduction

Are you a #journalist? I wrote Mastodon 101 for Journalists which you can find here: https://lisawilliams.github.io/lisa/tech/2022/11/28/mastodon-101-for-journalists.html

(for those of you who have been here a minute...I'm looking to update that. Suggestions welcome!) #journalism #news

Mastodon 101 for Journalists

updated July 2, 2023

okay here's a rundown of the fediverse

🖤 there's no ads, everything is mostly run by volunteers because they believe in it

🖤 timelines are chronological, there's no algorithm deciding what you see. to see more, follow peeps and hashtags (and post in em, too!)

🖤 this place is SOCIAL social media, as opposed to the corporate social media you're probably used to. most are here to interact, not build clout

welcome to fedi!!! happy to have ya 😁

This is amazing. Rick Astley has taken it on himself to start covering The Smiths songs because Morrissey is such an unholy piece of shit, and not only is it not bad it's good and also wholesome.
