@WilliamNB WillCycle is powered by Worpress right? Have you considered installing the ActivityPub plugin to allow it to be followed directly from here? (because I'm curious but want to know if someone else more experienced has done it first!)
@ClaireCopperman up to you (and this wasn't aimed at you, I didn't notice it in your post, I've just been seeing it a lot!) But edit is only available in some clients so if you don't have it that may be the best way to do it
Or alternatively, my voice is no more important than anyone else's here, can we have a conversation about the implications and decide collectively whether we should?
Which isn't to minimise how important Twitter has been for making connections and finding community for marginalised groups, but still please can we not?
I know #tonepolicing has been a massive problem on Mastodon lately, erm, but I'm going to do some anyway: the use of the word #refugee for people fleeing Twitter feels particularly insensitive at the moment given the horrific treatment of people seeking sanctuary at #Manston lately
If you follow @PleaseCaption then, when you forget to add alt-text to your image, the bot will politely dm you and give you a nudge.

They're doing some amazing work using carbon credits for the the forests they steward to buy back more of their ancestral land (although "buy back" is probably the wrong way of phrasing it given that someone essentially came along and said "we're instituting a system of land ownership and making ourselves the owners of this land you live on, if you want rights to it your grandchildren will have to pay us for them")
Incidentally I first learned about the Klamath River Renewal project through the awesome podcast How to Save a Planet (https://gimletmedia.com/shows/howtosaveaplanet/z3h7526/the-tribe-thats-moving-earth-and-water) - the local Yurok tribe have been fighting for a long time to restore the river that forms part of their ancestral lands
Some good news for the weekend:.
"A US agency seeking to restore habitat for endangered fish gave final approval on Thursday to decommission four dams straddling the California-Oregon border, the largest dam removal undertaking in US history."

People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax!

Through the burning of fossil fuels, humans have released more carbon into the atmosphere than is contained in all of the plants currently living on Earth.
More than half of this has occurred since 1990.
We are transforming the Earth and the atmosphere on a truly massive scale.
Reforestation, and other natural solutions, will never match the scale of the problem without substantial emissions reductions.
A lightbulb moment for me on @aral recent stream is that Musk now has access to *everyone's* DMs. Like every politician. Or CEO. Or activist. Now what's that worth to some other countries?
$44bn suddenly seems like good value...
I used to be part of an online community who would parody propaganda, so I have a soft spot in my heart for posters like this. #solarpunk by Murphy Parys.
