- Reposted by Sarah FossheimI made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖

- in 2014 after I started working in tech designers started saying that one day in the next few years design tools would publish websites and front-end devs would become obsolete. 11 years later, code by figma sites:

- haven't been very active on social media lately because I've been busy with another project: our upcoming move to the arctic 🩵 last week we finally found a house, which we'll take over in May, and move into in June. This is so exciting 🤩
- Reposted by Sarah FossheimURGENT request for help: I need to build a case (soon) that justifies the "broader impact" of my research (yes, this is related to recent events in the US). If you have ever used Chartability or Data Navigator in your work in any capacity, I would love to know! Please email (fje@cmu.edu) or dm me.

- Male and female gulls look identical, but it’s possible to tell the difference based on the size of the head and bill 🤓 That’s how we learned that balcony gull Gloria, who recently got measured & ringed, is actually a boy! Blog: fossheim.photography/blog/2025-01... #ornithology #birdPhotography

- Reposted by Sarah FossheimThe TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control. Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.
- Pixelfed as an instagram alternative for wildlife photography: yes/no, and anyone has good server recommendations? Kinda tempted to just stick to my own website, and the occasional sharing to mastodon/BlueSky/flickr though 🤔

- A white-tailed eagle started scouting the area for prey, which caused the auks to flee their cliff in a panic. But not this one bridled individual, who bravely and proudly made their way back to the nest with their own fresh meal 🎣 #birdPhotography #wildlife #birds

- Meet the Arctic Tern, a bird that breeds in the arctic and overwinters in the antarctic, completing a distance similar to 3+ roundtrips to the moon in its lifetime. And if you ever met one, you probably understand why I call them Arctic Terrors instead 😰 #birdPhotography #birds #photography

- Bird of the day: the razorbill, closest living relative to the extinct Great Auk. Razorbills are also vulnerable, having seen a >30% population reduction in Norway the last 50 years. Over half of Norway's seabirds are threatened, and 80% have disappeared from bird cliffs. #photography #ornithology
