Someone has already reached out to possibly also do a subsequent matching grant once mine is done; I thought we'd have at least a few days to coordinate and manage logistics but I guess I should say this now before I head out to do some errands: if you're thinking of doing a largeish donation […]

In fact this idea came up when the aforementioned spouse heard about what was happening with the PSF, and *she* recommended doing this. So it would be a little more accurate to say that "we" will be matching donations up to $5000.
Regardless of matching we will also be giving another $5000.

In light of the PSF's recent loss of an NSF grant and attendant funding shortfall, I will be matching donations up to $5000. Send me your receipts.
Very happy if you've already donated for similar reasons but the point is to motivate *new* donations so be sure the timestamp is after this toot 😉.

During the second game I looked up the record length of a major league postseason game, and it's a 4-way tie for 18 innings; so I thought I'd mention it now because it seems like the kind of day it will be relevant

The photograph shows a small, creamy-orange mushroom growing among a thick blanket of green moss. The mushroom is thin and fragile, with a fine stem and a rounded cap with visible folds or blades on its underside. The light is soft and natural, creating a humid and tranquil atmosphere. The entire background is covered in green, blurred tones, highlighting the texture of the moss and making the mushroom appear like a tiny inhabitant of a silent, hidden world.
Microworld in the moss.
Among the moss, a small mushroom, fragile and translucent, rises like a natural sculpture. It reveals the beauty hidden in the corners of the forest. In this silent and hidden microworld, each shape and tone breathes with its own […]

If you're trying out the new Mastodon 4.5.0 beta, I'd be interested in hearing what you think of the new richness of statuses in the moderation tools. It took a lot of work to try to improve things there.
