I'm a biologist and software developer from Western Australia. Hunting plants and writing code.
Housing is infrastructure, not an investment. Our cities are for living, not owning.
Any Intro To Mastodon thinkpiece that doesn't acknowledge that it's existed since 2016 and was essentially first colonized by a bunch of gay communist furries (and later: game devs, circa holiday season, but that's less important) is totally useless imo

This is an echidna, or as I like to call them, spiny snufflepig. They are Australia's most widespread animal species; and live in every environment including deserts, snowy mountains, and rainforests. Amazing and super cute.
You can see a small fire in the midground. It's a dry and very fire prone ecosystem. This fire was caused by a vehicle.

Following people with #science, because science
Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.
HI guys :)
