Twitter vs. Mastodon
I posted this graph on Twitter (to 95,000 followers) & Mastodon (with 1/10th the followers).
I got double the likes/boosts on Mastodon. On Twitter I got dozens of ugly replies from climate deniers & trolls. On Mastodon I got polite & interesting questions.

Star Wars deep cut. I present to you: This hairstyle from A New Hope, and this explosion from Rogue One.

The Mormon Church is being fined 5 million because it hid a 32 billion dollar investment fund. This was not accidental. The SEC proved that both the investment firm and church went to great lengths to knowingly hide these assets. For the folks playing along at home, that’s a fine of 0.016% on the investment. Imagine lying on your taxes and you hid an extra $100K offshore and the IRS said “No sweat, pay us $15.63.” If there are no other repercussions, that’s not a fine, that’s encouragement.

Also didn't realize how many WiiU games took advantage of having both a big TV in front of you and a little TV in your hands. Not many, but enough to be interesting.

A couple of my favorite games from the GameCube era were Legend of Zelda: Four Swords and Pac-Man Vs. - both of which required a GameCube along with one GameBoy Advance for each player as a second screen

#introduction

A few weeks ago there was a discussion about the need for a #Mastodon instance dedicated to NGOs, nonprofits, and folks in the human rights space.

So I got to work with @happy and @gillo and created https://mastodon.ngo! We're admin'ing this instance together and we'll be maintaining it for the long term.

If you or your organization or someone you know is interested in creating an account, let me know. You can also request an account here: https://mastodon.ngo/about

3rd UFO shot down. I, for one, welcome our alien overlords. Nanoo Nanoo.

At the gym again.
Today I'm feeling very tired. I feel weaker than I usually do. My muscles aren't totally into it.
Got lighter weights and still trying.
But may go to cardio soon as I'm afraid I'll mess up with the weights.
Damn you Fibromyalgia 😔

new #introduction this one with hashtags.

After a few decades of #Unix and #Linux #Systems #Programming my husband and I bought a farm in the southern Adirondack region of NY State.

Fast forward 8 years, we're deep into #regenerative farming and #winterharvest. WFH still programming!

I like to #swim #bicycle #hike #cook #sew #knit, make #cheese, play #accordion #organ #piano #bodhran #drums

We raise #goats #chickens #ducks & have a chihuahua-daschund cross 'Trixie" & a tabby "Kitty-Cat"

Love this #bicycle! It’s not carbon, it’s not light, it’s a tank on 2 wheels! But I built it myself and I enjoy every ride! #cycling #biketoot #rower #gravel

eBikes are real bikes. Full stop.
