i live in the foggy sunset district. love the foghorns at night. happy when the light peeks through.
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.
oops, i mean @feditips.

A number of people have asked what I could have done better. In particular, I should have set the first post in the thread to public and the rest of the posts as unlisted.

Here's a fantastic explainer from @djnavarro via @flodebarre:

(It's worth reading the entire thing. I learned a ton.)

Notes from a data witch - Everything I know about Mastodon

A hastily written guide for data science folks trying to navigate the fediverse.

Here's the one silver lining in all of the #twittermigration . It's forcing many of us who have been stubborn (aka me) in expanding our avenues of science communication. It won't be easy or smooth, but I think that it's a good way for us to take inventory of what really works/does not work.

I absolutely hate the silos in Mastadon. I need to join my science, disability, and Jewish communities. I am made up of all of these things. It is not possible for me to pick just one. Siloing loses one of the best parts of Twitter. That all the communities here INTERACT
Fellow #twitter ex-pats: if you're looking for an iOS app, I recommend going with the "official" app (see screenshot) as a starting point for 3 reasons:
🔸 It works
🔸 Privacy policy most closely aligned with that of the Mastodon ecosystem
🔸 It actually looks and functions a lot like the native Twitter iOS app, which I've found helpful during this #twittermigration

Two separate #weather models spitting out a possible #hurricane on the east coast of #Florida on Thursday. (NOT A FORECAST). GFS and ICON. Worrisome.
