I wish #Flickr could auto-detect if I'm re-uploading a photo I've already uploaded.I am processing hundreds of bud photos this month and it's easy to lose track when I have to take the intermediate step of converting the HEIC files to jpgs.#Fieldwork #UX

@shacker Ah, that's nice. Ever since Apple screwed with the developer of the plug-in iP2F, my Flickr management has been more labor-intensive.

Academic press books are expensive relative to what academia pays... if you're looking for sales/discounts, follow @UPressSalesBot

@stux That video clip is this evangelical minister. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_SwindollIt seems he's a bit eye for an eye. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qn_4yeYFXs

@tiago @academicchatter You absolutely can quote here. I do it all the time.I think part of what is to blame here is (a) too many academics willing to look the other way at fash & fash-adjacent tech lords like Musk and Dorsey, and (b) an unwillingness to put the time in to build community. Twitter once upon a time did not have many academics on it. It's those of us who put the time in that created a space for others to piggyback off of.People can't piggyback here - they have to help build.

@tiago @academicchatter Here's me quoting my own thread (but you can quote other people's threads, too). How it displays depends on the Mastodon version your instance is running. #AcademicChatter #Planticipation https://ecoevo.social/@ml/111178748324359310

@asayakkara @tiago @academicchatter Yup, it's different, but it's not blocking folks from going and seeing the rest of what's being quoted.

@asayakkara @tiago @academicchatter That's different than mere ability to quote, then.The fact is that if someone screenshots someone's toot and uses it, they won't be notified of that, either. And that happens frequently on all social media platforms I know of.Are you saying what they're more concerned about is their metrics? Academia has really done a lot to encourage in researchers a Pavlovian response to numbers that supposedly measure people's importance and relevance.

I wrote the director of Grad Pathways asking if they could please make some online options available because I as a disabled student at a maskless university am being left out of academic & career development programming.They never replied.Today I received an email for "Writing and Publishing the Journal Article"... which is being offered only in person, no masks required.#UCAccessNow #Ableism #Disability #COVID

@KarlHeinzHasliP @disability @academicchatter The lack of planning for accessibility before resulted in the sudden shift being an emergency dumped onto (mostly abled) workers by (almost entirely abled) management.While some made heroic efforts at creativity and kept it rolling even after higher-ups pretended the pandemic was "over", most were happy to just cease online options ASAP and not learn any lessons from it all. Nor plan for any more creative options, either.Our society punted again.

Repeatedly being treated the way I have been treated at UC Davis made it difficult to do drafts and be "professional" about this. After a month of this being in email drafts, I finally just sent this email in regard to the call to register to yet another inaccessible UC Davis Plant Breeding Retreat at Bodega Bay Marine Laboratory. @plantscience @disability @academicchatter #Ableism #UCAccessNow

@futurebird That's what grad school was like, for sure. Reinforces imposter syndrome in marginalized students. Worsened by the type of self-aggrandizing bros who give out that they know EVERYTHING.

I built my Mastodon accounts when I was living in the US, so most of the accounts I follow and those that follow me are from time zones that worked with that.Now that I live in a different time zone (Central European), my timeline and interaction is much less. If you see this and you're interested in botany, horticulture, urban forests, agriculture, sustainability, social justice issues, cycling, languages, art, humanities, etc., please give a holler!@gardening @academicchatter @fedibikes

One of my favorite STEM events is the #IgNobel Prize Ceremony! How many here in the #Fediverse want to have some fun having a livetooting party while watching the webcast?It will kick off live this Thursday September 18, 2025, at 6:00 pm (US eastern time)! If you can't be there in person, you can watch it live on YouTube! (If there's a PeerTube livecast, let me know.)Please boost so others can learn of it!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8fhpgn3t88#Science #GoodNews

Please chime in if you're up for this!I think the #IgNobel hashtag should work fine for finding toots on the day (or night, for some of us).If you hit that YouTube link, you can select "notify" to have it send a notification when it starts livecasting.You can figure out what it is in your time zone with: https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/#Science #GoodNews

Boost:Are there botanists/plant scientists here who'd like to meet via Signal video chat to create an ongoing support group - mentoring circle?As a disabled grad student, I was not included in many of UC Davis' programs (see @ucaccessnow Demandifesto for details...). Things are tough all over right now, and especially marginalized scientists could use some support. If you're interested, please reply below. #Botany #PlantScience #Horticulture #Agriculture

@futurebird Yes, but it's a furnished apartment and I didn't choose to have it. I also haven't turned it on once.
