Please enjoy this extremely silly Parakeet/Organic Chemistry joke I just came up with and made all by myself.

@PencilBloke You're welcome

Hello London!

Our annual #UCLChemAirPoll project lives again. We are sending first year undergraduates into Year 5 and 6 classes across London to talk about air pollution and measure NOx pollution. If you know of an interested school, get in touch. https://uclchemairpoll.wordpress.com

And please spread the word, re-toot and so on.

People who never boost are sus. Oh, you've never seen anyone else post something you wanted to show others? For real?

It appears ICE is unhappy with people knowing that Jonathan Ross has been identified as the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good. They tried to bully an election worker for sharing Jonathan Ross's name. Again, that name was Jonathan Ross.

Look, I get it. You're fascists and therefore bullies. It shouldn't be too tough for you to figure out who I really am. Feel free to drop by anytime and try to intimidate me. I could use the laugh.

I've got a question for the Masto hive mind on behalf of Mr. Bsag.

He doesn't sleep well and is very sensitive to sound (#AuDHD), so he wears noise-cancelling headphones a lot, especially at night to play white noise etc., when outside to mask traffic noise, and so on.

He has a couple of pairs of AKG N60s, but they eventually wear out and they are getting hard to source used.

Does anybody have recommendations for headphones similar to these that are:

- on ear (not in-ear or over-ear)
- have active or passive noise cancellation
- preferably don't have touch or physical buttons on the shells that can control phone calls. Volume/play/pause etc. is fine if not too sensitive, or can be turned off in an app

Thanks in advance! Boosts very welcome.

A question for all UK based Tooters, What is the likelihood of there being a hosepipe ban and/or drought orders in the UK from July 14th?

Do you live near a data center that makes a noise loud enough to bother you in your home? If so, please DM me. Also, please boost this so I get some responses. I need some information.

Boosts only give me power, you know.

The power... of OUTREACH.

And helping me find cool folk to follow :3

So hey, just in case this gets boosted to someone out there who hasn't met me before, hi, I'm Bwee! I really hope you're doing great and that you're finding lots of reasons to smile. You truly deserve it.

I hope I made a good impression! :blobcatgiggle:

If you need help with anything, including getting something boosted or Fedi advice, please let me know! I'm happy to help you! And if I can't, I'll find someone who can!!

Take care, friend. :3

One more time for the people in the back:

I will always hate your real names proposal.
I will always hate your backdooring crypto proposal.
I will always hate your hack back proposal.

These ideas are bad and you cannot dress them up in any way that will change that.

The algorithm on fedi is people getting used to your nonsense and maybe they'll boost something you post.

As a teenager I was intensely isolated from my peers. I had been removed from education by a parent and, along with my siblings, spent all my time at home. I had little in the way of homeschooling.

The internet, and in particular social mediums, ended up giving me a lifeline. It was my connection to the outside world and gave me a way to socialise, as well as signpost me to subjects I could then look up and learn.

"Beveridge reminds us that poverty is not a natural condition. It is a policy outcome. Social security is not a burden on society but a precondition for its health.

To answer his question is to accept a simple truth we once understood: a civilised society does not ask whether it can afford to protect its people; it asks whether it can afford not to."
-- Richard Murphy summarizing William Beveridge's observations about society in 1942

RT: @ShockatAdam While the world watches Palestinians being ripped from their homes, London is preparing to help sell them.

An upcoming expo will promote property in illegal Israeli settlements built on occupied Palestinian land.

This is not just morally indefensible, it normalises and profits from a deadly, decades-long occupation.

We've called on the Home Secretary to cancel the event immediately.

I can't post this on kolektiva–they deleted it as "antisemetic"–but I can post it here!

Given how effective software flesh detectors are, and how users have responded to net.nanny filters in the past, I think we're going to see a boom in B&W porn. Or just green-hued nudity.
