So... one of the biggest meetings in my field, the #ISAE is taking place this week in #Tallinn .... I've just seen that site-formerly-known-as-bird is abuzz with activity. I miss that a lot- anyone here going to be there?

I couldn't join live, but would love to live vicariously!
Boosts much appreciated to see if there are attendees on Mastodon

 Attention Beige Party-goers! 

As you are probably aware, we've got a spammer running wild across the fediverse, setting up multiple new accounts on different instances on a daily basis. They are easy to spot because each time a new one is set up, it refollows all of the same accounts, so if you've seen a bunch of follows from accounts with usernames that are some variation of "thegx", that's what's going on.

Please report these new spam accounts as they pop up so I can get them all blocked. Also, please DO forward your reports to the home instance. They should also be informed that they are being hijacked by a spammer. Thank you to everyone who has already submitted reports on these accounts. I haven't replied individually to each and every one because then I'd be spamming you, but please know that I appreciate it, and I am suspending all of these accounts as soon as they come to my attentions.

Thank you, and Beige-bless 

Since it’s come up: Hi, I’m Kitty, I’m a bit of a gardener. I’m currently growing 22 tomato and 20 pepper varieties from seed, as well as several types of herbs yet to be determined (I think at least one of the basics needs to be tried again.) Why from seed, when it’s more time and effort? Because I want to. I have three 8x8 raised beds and a work-from-home job and the space to set up a potting area and a seedling rack or two. It sparks joy.
