NEW! My review of _Oceans Under Glass_ by Samantha Muka
for the journal Science
Fantastic book. Highly recommended if you're interested in technological tinkering and/or knowledge creation/circulation. Or, you know, aquariums. 😉
🚨Hey, #oceans #oceansHSTM peeps!🚨
New, very #interdisciplinary project looking for researchers in #architecture , #biology , #oceanography , #FishingHistory , & related fields "willing to mix theory & practice in a critical & imaginative way."
Nice to see a project that wants both scientists *and* historians (& architects)!

There were SO MANY young people--especially but not exclusively young women--in line to register/vote.
I don't know how this particular election will turn out, but in my experience someone fired up to vote at 18 *keeps* voting.
I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly: If you switch Mastodon instances, it's easy to transfer your network/follows over (I did this), but NOT your content. Is this right? If you change instances you can't move your toots to the new one?
This makes the "don't be held hostage by a platform!" benefit less compelling doesn't it? Like what if someone just doesn't pay the bill for your instance? All your content's gone?
Am I missing something?
