Lost and found in Mastodon
TIL: when the Back button in Mastodon can not take me back to something, I can use the web browser to browse back.
Why has it taken more than two years for me to discover something so obvious?

Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced.
But where does that lost tire material go?
The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways,
where the tiny microplastic particles from the tires’ synthetic rubber carry several chemicals that can transfer into fish, crabs and perhaps even the people who eat them.
Millions of metric tons of plastic waste enter the world’s oceans every year.
In recent times, tire wear particles have been found t…

One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources revealed – and it’s not straws or bags
Tire wear particles have been found to account for about 45 per cent of all microplastics in both terrestrial and aquatic systems

“OK, but what then?!” you ask me, “What are we supposed to do? What is your grand plan for ending this?? What more am I supposed to do?!”
I want you to know that I spent all of December and January here in Minnesota racking my brains with this very question, and I never found an answer. Nothing could possibly be enough. I had no idea what to do. We had no idea what to do. And we were already doing it.
The whole time, we were lost — and we were already doing it.

Grasslands and wetlands are being lost to agriculture four times faster than forests
Wild ecosystems such as grassland savannas, bush and open wetlands are losing ground worldwide to make way for large pastures and grain fields. A new study found these ecosystems are being converted at a rate four times higher than for forests.   Over a 15-year period, from 2005-2020, researchers found that 190 million hectares (470 […]

Two teams of searchers recently announced that they’ve each located the resting place of Luna 9, humanity’s first Moon lander – in two different spots on Moon’s surface.Luna 9 was the first human-made object to land (instead of crash) on the Moon,
but in the sixty years since, no one has spotted the lander in orbital photos or pinpointed its landing site. It’s historic, it’s lost, and finding it is a seemingly near-impossible challenge – so naturally, some people are obsessed with the…

Two Teams Say They’ve Found The Luna 9 Moon Lander, In Different Places
Only one of these patches of lunar plain can be Luna 9’s actual landing site – and there’s no guarantee that either of them is. But the search is oddly compelling.

At 4AM I found an ancient nameless anonymous demo recording with haunting crinkle and faint echo and lyrics about lost love and less than 2,000 views and everything

Because of a sense of urgency that came upon me (and the fact I wanted some things released while still actually alive) I've put out a fairly large amount of music since 2024. 🙂
I want to share some download codes for another release, on the off chance anyone is interested. It kind of got lost (like many). It is called 'Scattering Spectrum', and represents a subtler zone of composition I really love. The label who were originally going to put it out a few years ago found it…

Found it after 2/3 of IKEA.
