#ContentWarnings on here are so weird. Just seen two posts next to each other: one with a #CW for 'eye contact' on a picture of a cartoon, and the other with a picture showing a dead/dying game #bird strung up upside down on someone's gym equipment, with no CW at all. I imagine waaaaay more people would be upset by the latter. Like, can we get some consistency here folks? Or am I missing something? π

10.11.2022 18:06@CountBinface My Mastodon feed and phone screen are conspiring to make me feel bad.After a bit of a wobbly start, thought I'd make a #mastodon #introduction post! I'm one of the growing number of 'refugees' jumping ship from #academia, and now work for the Ministry of Defence β. I can still be found hanging out in #Palaeontology circles though (and maybe one day I'll publish those #graptolite papers.). I'm a big fan of natural history, with a soft spot for #birds, #reptiles and #bugs. In conclusion: #Chickens are the best #dinosaurs π and #DS9 is the best #StarTrek π LLAP.
