All true, but they couldn’t use that cop-out if Mastodon had not spent years not building things that many, including me, said it would need to ever go mainstream. It’s not that it’s hard. It’s that it’s awkward in too many important areas that users now expect, and have still not been improved. Only promised. And users typically tire of unfulfilled promises.

Extreme water recycling is a process that turns wastewater into drinking water using advanced technologies. It is already practiced in places where water scarcity is a serious issue, such as Singapore and Namibia. It could become more widespread as climate change and population growth increase the demand for fresh water.

Anole #lizard on one of our front #garden #sunflowers yesterday evening, on the hunt for bugs to eat (and welcome to them). Last summer we had a resident anole that could be found day & night on the #sunflower plants we had growing then. This year no one has claimed exclusive residence, just see different ones passing through.

Good morning, lovelies! ❤️

If you're gonna give me a day off with pay, I'll take it, regardless of how I feel about the country being "celebrated."

But if you do have activities planned (and honestly, if something comes up at the last minute, I'll probably go), have fun and stay safe.

Go out there today and spread some love! 🥰

Nothing says Happy American Freedom Day like waiting in line for half price gas

I’m always impressed when I see women posting content. I’d be too angry to type

@Ulrich_the_Elder @DemocracyMattersALot To be fair, here how to recognize nazi's

@Huntn00 @samlitzinger It's interesting that the banned book crowd is so concerned about (white) children until the gunman strolls onto campus. But it's quite fine for someone like Viola Ford Fletcher to experience a massacre as a 7-year-old child.

@Huntn00 absolutely, what we have seen lately are a religious minority working especially through the Supreme Court and local legislatures who feel their religious freedom extends to forcing everyone to be “good little Christians” wether we like it or not. As a woman raising daughters, I feel this violation of personal rights keenly.

Happy Fourth to everyone who wants America to become more rational, compassionate and once again a place where personal rights and liberties are respected above all else.

Due to a technical problem I had to give my talk on Asimov's foundation series and ethics at the Current Research in Speculative Fiction conference sans slides.

So, I'm showing the title slide and the last slide here instead.

#CorpseFlower In the Encinitas botanical garden this plant blooms about every three years and smells like rotting flesh. Short lived bloom is happening now.
