Mastodon isn't perfect. But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use, has no venture capital investors, has no shareholders to answer to, has no growth targets, with a web interface with zero cookies, and mobile apps with zero trackers at all with ten thousand […]

What are you looking forward to in 2025? Personally, I'm waiting for Book 4 of the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir, seeing the results of a little bit of guerilla wildflower planting on the side of the highway near my house, and working towards product/market fit for the software I'm building.

Okay, gang. Are we ready for a little Bluesky #PlantsGiving action? A social media tradition since 2018: counting & reporting out the number of plant species consumed during your Thursday dinner. I've got a class doing it for homework. Excited to see what they share. #iamabotanist #bisonflowers

Spurred by this post about domains and verification on BlueSky, I'm going to see about creating multiple handles to represent each of the different "selves" I have a domain for. Seems a little bit easier than setting up a mastodon instance for each domain.

All the different scientist starter packs (and bloviator block packs) are making the bluesky experience really nice. It would be nice if I could turn the starter pack into a feed instead of following everyone.
