Hi all, I moved across from social coop today so some #introductions may be in order.
I’m a health services researcher and educator from Sydney, Australia, with eclectic interests.
I’ve used Mastodon for three years or so, but I’ve been inactive over the last twelve months. Events on made me think I need to redouble my engagement on here. It’s nice to be back.
Today is IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia and Transphobia). A reminder that the LGBTQIA+ community still faces discrimination to varying degrees all over the world. Unfortunately the Australian IDAHOBIT website is down currently, but is still accessible via the Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20220419043914/https://www.idahobit.org.au/. Check it out for more information. #idahobit #lgbtqia

Just learned that Ukraine makes just under half the world’s sunflower oil, which is used everywhere and supplies have been significantly disrupted https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-01/ukraine-sunflower-oil-shortage-hits-food-from-chips-to-cookies

Random query: do pixelfed instances federate with eigenmagic? For example, I follow @ben_hr@pixey.org but none of the posts show up? Am I doing it wrong?
#Introductions Hello! I came here via a post on @phocks’s Facebook and am happy to see a few friends here. I am a journalist and mum to two wonderful boys. Live in New Farm and work in South Brisbane. Hoping to make some new connections! 👋

NOT IDEAL — World Meteorological Organization says we've got a 50:50 chance of hitting 1.5 degrees of warming at least once before 2026...
The chance of exceeding 1.5 used to be almost zero (as recently as 2015). Now it's a coin flip. Think about that. #climatechange
