I strangely miss livejournal icons today. To be able to express one's mood (and overall aesthetics) via the choice of image used as avatar for any given post or reply added a meta level to communication that I haven't seen implemented that way anywhere else.

@lithospheric reddit not twitter, I think

@lithospheric my understanding from having seen some boosts in my home timeline is that some of the subreddits went into indefinite blackout and that the moderator strike is a big thing. But reddit is not a format I'm familiar with, so take this with a grain of salt.

Lots of possible interpretations for this one. But mainly: it's a very pretty #mural and I love #donkeys

Ahem... 📢

Dear ppl - please do not repost stuff from accounts such as "amazing science", "wonders of science/nature", etc. OR posts that use these accounts as sources.

They are spoofers, stealing artwork without attribution, often misrepresenting highly photoshopped (or fully artificial) images as real and not so seldomly posting absolutely bogus explanations.

Nature is beautiful - it does not need Photoshop or wrong explanations to make it sound more sensational.

@clacke I definitely heard of both, but they seem to have a giant backlog of episodes. So if you have particular ones to recommend, I'd appreciate it!

I usually don't listen to podcasts, but for a few upcoming longer car rides with partner, we are in need of some.

What I am looking for: something like "99% invisible". Well researcher deep dives into random topics I did not know I would be interested in. No long conversations/discussions, no US-politics. 60 minutes max, shorter preferred. In German (preferred by partner) or English.

So: recommendations? Especially for individual #podcast episodes you loved.

Boosts welcome :)

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, who revolutionized our understanding of what stars & the Universe are made of, was born #OTD in 1900.

In 1926, she wrote what is considered the "undoubtedly most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy".

She continued in the same spirit - only to be denied a professorship (or even the a proper astronomer position). She finally became a professor at Harvard at 1956(!) & first woman to chair a department.
