mastodon 4.6.0-alpha.5+glitch

Been on this planet for a bit now; still trying to figure it out.

What keeps me informed, amused, or up at night: climate and the environment, news and journalism, human evolution and ancient history, politics, wildlife, photography, cycling, piano, guitar, español, français. 
Oh, and a sucker for bad puns.

Since a certain leader has a penchant for renaming bodies of water, perhaps he should consider changing the Strait of Hormuz to Dire Straits.

Mid-March limerick
——————————

The middle of March is a muddle
Today snow; tomorrow a puddle
Pi Day, the Ides and St. Paddy’s crowd in
The equinox asks if she can come in
And the rest just fuddle their duddle

I’ve finally started the Great Canadian Novel.
I’m great a starting things, not so good at following through. So while I have completed the first few paragraphs, I invite you to contiue on, adding however much text you feel like in the comments. The following person can continue on from there, and so on. Let’s see how far we get.

————
Opening paragraphs:

Her hand shook slightly as she held the pipette over the beaker.
“If our calculations are correct,” she said, raising her eyes to those watching the video stream, “the mixture of these two liquids will change the world forever.”
The hand belonged to Nancy Weymouth, and the moment was a cumulation of 12 years of intense research and experimentation she and her team had been working on.
This was the moment. And an estimated 60 million people were tuned into the livestream: expectant, hopeful, tense.

————

Over to you . . .

@NuanceRhymesWithOrange@mstdn.social All very subtle, but the line of rooftops and the line above in the cloud formation both nudging the attention toward the vanishing point caught my eye.

Back in the Before Times, I would occasionally buy a pair of jeans online from a U.S. supplier.
They sent me a survey this morning.
