After almost 2 years at @Mastodon, it’s time to say my thank yous & goodbye ❤️
Since Jan 2023, we’ve nearly tripled our team, hiring 8 brilliant humans out of 1,510 applicants(!). I’m proud to leave this legacy behind.
From #hiring to #culture, #fundraising to donor comms, it’s been an honour building the backbone of this project!
Thank you, team, for this crazy ride — I’ll be cheering for you all from afar and have no doubt you'll accomplish everything you've set out to do! 🐘💫

Hundreds of scientists are set to perform a new Scottish country dance inspired by the ripples in spacetime whose existence was first theorised by Albert Einstein.
Researchers from the University of Glasgow teamed up with the culture and research organisation Science Ceilidh to develop a dance to mark the 10th anniversary of the historic first detection of gravitational waves.

People there want to cut their reliance on expensive, imported diesel that’s one of the largest contributors of planet-warming emissions. @AssociatedPress talked to residents about their efforts. Here’s what they said:
Filipino netizens were quick to criticize girl group BINI for their genuine reactions to Filipino snacks in a YouTube video.
"Telling BINI to eat like Filipinos, then shaming them for flinching, is cultural policing dressed up as patriotism."

Asia = it's just a tool, how you use it is up to you
