So, I found this quote somewhere on the internet about Fediverse server moderation:

> I can't believe I have to write this, but if you have no moderating experience—like, not even in a YouTube video's comments section—I would strongly suggest not starting a Fediverse server at all until you have help.

A strong #earthquake in eastern #Afghanistan kills at least 250 people and injures 500

apnews.com/article/afghanistan…

The quake late Sunday hit a series of towns in the province of Kunar, near the city of Jalalabad in neighboring Nangahar province. The 6.0 magnitude at 11:47 p.m. was centered 27 kilometers (17 miles) east-northeast of the city of Jalalabad in Nangarhar province, the U.S. Geological Survey said. It was just 8 kilometers (5 miles) deep. Shallower quakes tend to cause more damage.

September's a busy month, but I'm still going to try for as many of the #SciArtSeptember prompts as I can. Would love some company. Who'd like to join me?

It can be old works, or new. I'll be trying to post on the day of the prompt, but skipping around is fine.

The point is to create and share #SciArt and to have fun!

If this helps: creating art is an act of resistance. Add #SciArt and it's radical!

Use the hashtag: #SciArtSeptember.
