   After a couple of days on #Mastodon I’m very impressed & excited to be part of this growing community! #mastodonmigration

   My only humble suggestion is that it needs more #tardigrades aka "water bears."

   Tardigrades have survived every mass #extinction on Earth since they evolved about a 1/2 billion years ago. There are ~1,300 known species. And millions of years from now, they won’t even notice we’re gone.
