I used to read scientific papers and think, "This is hard to understand because I'm not smart enough or informed enough to understand it." Now I have read enough papers to know that, actually, a lot of scientific writing is awful. This becomes especially clear when you read two papers on similar subjects, one that is impossible to understand and one that is clear as day. Background knowledge is helpful, but if you have that knowledge and STILL have to read every paragraph three times to make heads or tails of what is going on... it's not you, it's the authors. #science

the fact that "social justice warrior" is considered by some a derogatory phrase is rather strange. justice refers to truth, reason, law, and secondarily, morality. all of which seems like things we would want applied to each other, right? even nazis expect social justice amongst one another.

we might as well start insulting our peer's interest in our well-being by calling them friends.

Here's an image of M82 I made from archival Hubble data at one of our outreach events the other night. (The high school kids I was working with made better ones.) red=I filter, blue=B filter, green=Halpha filter https://witches.town/media/6loHeBfYOTluvOrm78g

@Fenris techwick t-shirts are good for going in the water if you want something over the binder, and they dry really quickly

underarmor compression shirts are also good if shape is more of a priority than quick drying (still not bad tho)

@alyx The deletion request does federate though, so any correctly working Mastodon instance will delete the toot too

@alyx you can delete everywhere but it's sort of a "honor pact" thing, instances *should delete it* but and there's no known instances that *don't* but they could fail to delete it because of a bug.

current thoughts on mechanics of posting sensitive content here; anything wrong?

toot unlisted: visible if rando views yr timeline; goes to all followers; seems? to be excluded from tag search, even if you tag it (though why would you)

toot private: only visible to followers ON YOUR INSTANCE; those off-instance cannot see, i'm told

toot direct: must list all recipients, so only feasible if you're only including a few people

general privacy: once a toot is federated it is on the remote instances forever; you lack ability to delete everywhere but yr local instance. therefore use an external hosting site for sensitive images so you can delete them at will.
