I have a #SciFi #Physics question. Maybe for @popculturescientist.com or @philplait.bsky.social If we send out people into interstellar travels and want to keep them updated, how large of an antenna would we actually need for this? (In the specific case I'm looking at they are 14 light-years away)

Step 1: read a fun book Step 2: decided you wanna write fanfiction about it Step 3: read through the New Zealand Emergency Management Agency's Emergency Response Plan for Severe Space Weather. Step 4: ?

Do I know any astrobiologists? Do you know any astrobiologists? Do you/they have maybe half an hour time to talk to me, about astrobiological research? (Yes, this is technically for a silly fanfic, but I wanna include some actual fun sciComm in there) :)

@copernicusecmwf.bsky.social just released their Climate Summary of 2025. You can read the report here climate.copernicus.eu/global-clima... Or you can just drop any questions you have in the comments. I'm going to do a summary post this weekend :) #ClimateChange #SciComm #AMA

Finished another book for my 30 at 30 challenge 🎉 book is [redacted] by [redacted]. I really love the character development for [redacted] and [redacted] is absolutely beautifully written. Plus the ending? Chef's kiss! (Early beta read, so had to redact a few details 😂😂) Book 3/30

Okay. Question for? @skylargrayson.bsky.social @philplait.bsky.social maybe? I'm working on a fanfic, where a catastrophic CME has taken out all of Earth's satellites. I am trying to figure out a realistic timeline for rebuilding a satellite based global communications network. Can you help?

HELLO #AuthorsOfBlueSky #WritersOfBlueSky is your new years resolution to write more or more consistently? May I interest you in a *free* word count tracker? With support for up to 8 different active projects? You can set a daily/monthly/project goal and this will do the fun progress bars for you!

Day 25 of #ClimateAdvent This year has been rough. We got confirmation that 2024 was the first year on record with average temperatures of more than 1.5°C. And it looks like this year isn't going to be much colder. We hit the first tipping point with the now inevitable collapse of warm water corals

Day 24 of #ClimateAdvent reposts. We're doing another quick round of Climate Roulette :) This time, once again, with @projectdrawdown.bsky.social's list of solutions :) Let's begin.

Day 23 of #ClimateAdvent reposts. Reduce your meat consumption, unless you eat the rich. I guess.

#ClimateAdvent reposts Day 22

#ClimateAdvent repost Day 21

#ClimateAdvent reposts Day 20 Let's actually dive into solutions. Also say it with me: "Hydrogen for cars is stupid. Don't use hydrogen for cars."

Day 19 of #ClimateAdvent Reposts Let's start looking at actual solutions to the problem

Okay. #ClimateAdvent reposts. There are a lot more pages on the IPCC AR6. So for today, we're actually going to do a full new round of Climate Roulette! You can check out last year's topics below: - Climate Action for SDGs - future CO2 pathways - general risks 1.5/2° - equity and inclusion

Day 17 of #ClimateAdvent reposts. Climate Change is a social justice issue.

#ClimateAdvent reposts Day 16. *as far as I am aware* None of the tipping points discussed in this post have been triggered as of right now.

Of course I posted this yesterday. What do you mean? 🫣 This is Day 15 of #ClimateAdvent reposts (I had to double check where we stand on these tipping points and I can now say that we don't fully know. Specifically, the west antarctic sea ice may already be on the way, but we don't fully know yet!)

#ClimateAdvent reposts Day 14 :)

Hello #BookSky I just turned 30 and I'm now doing a reading challenge where I try to read 30 books while being 30 :D Please drop any and all recommendations in the comments :) 💙📚🌈

On time this time 🥳 Here's Day 13 of #ClimateAdvent reposts for you.

Day 12 of #ClimateAdvent reposts. Birthday edition 🥳🥳 #ForensicAnthropology edition :)

#ClimateAdvent reposts Day 11. Let's just say Climate change isn't the best for humans 🫣

Day 10 of #ClimateAdvent reposts. Not so fun update is that this year a report came out that confirmed that we have locked in a temperature increase that will lead to the near complete eradication of warm water corals.

Day 9 of #ClimateAdvent reposts. How we are messing with our Ocean.

Any #Nasa or @esa.int scientists wanna help me write a fanfic? The canon main event is a catastrophic solar storm that takes out basically all electronics. I'm looking for 1.) science input for this solar storm and what protocols might be in place to prevent the worst of it. :) ->

Day 8 of #ClimateAdvent reposts.

Day 7 of #ClimateAdvent reposts. A quick note on how we actually measure stuff and how we get from the measured value to something actually useful.

Day 6 of #ClimateAdvent reposts. How can we tell natural variability isn't to blame for current climate change? 2025 update: sadly @methanesat.bsky.social broke down earlier this year, but still was able to get some incredible precise methane tracking done until then and has open data access ❤️

Day 5 of #ClimateAdvent reposts additional current "fun" facts below.

Are you a climate scientist or climate communicator? Do you have opinions on "hope" in a climate context? Then please drop me a message, I wanna hear from you! More info below: #ClimateScience #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateCommunucation

Day 4 of #ClimateAdvent repost :)

Day 3 of #ClimateAdvent reposts. Explaining the greenhouse effect on a molecular level in a text based app is still hard. :)

Hi! I'm Chaos. And I'm running a climate science Advent calendar (again). The 25th day is all about "hope" and I would love to get a few comments from people in the climate science/activism space. Maybe @katharinehayhoe.com, @climateadam.bsky.social, @rahmstorf.bsky.social, @edhawkins.org, et al?

Welcome to Day 2 of #ClimateAdvent repost :) Let's have a look at natural variability, and the big bright ball in the sky :)

Hello! I'm lazy this year, so instead of doing something new, welcome to #ClimateAdvent reposts. Day 1 ☺️ Same rules apply: if you have honest questions, ask them, but if it becomes apparent that you're just trolling you'll be blocked ❤️ #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateScience

(Beta testers wanted, more details in thread) Okay. What's the worst part about reading? Exactly! Having nowhere to track all of the stuff you read in one place. Why be boring and only track #books, if you could also have a place to track all your #fanfics. Or all your #science research?

Hey. I'm working on a fun little reading tracker. And I need help! Anyone here on Goodreads that reads audiobooks and printed/eBooks? #BookSky #ReaderSky

There are a little over 15 million fics on AO3, the longest one is a bit over 9.8million words long and on average a fic is 8643 words. And if you want to track your fics and also know how many books that would be, I might be working on something for you 🤫 #fanfic #readersOfBlueSky #readingtracker

Challenge level impossible: Read the blurb below and don't want this book right now, for free! Before everyone else! Well it's your lucky day, because @alicebrooks.bsky.social is still looking for ARC readers! And you can sign up RIGHT NOW! #booksky 💙📚🌈 Link: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It's international pronouns day 🎉 I'm using @pronouns.diy on here. It lets you set as many pronouns as you like and then displays them right alongside your name :)

Question for my UK/EU forensic anthropology friends. Any of you currently has a PhD position available? Please drop your links, and share widely! #forensicAnthropology #forAnth #BiologicalAnthropology #FindAPhD #PhDSearch #UKPhD
