Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes?! 🤯 Hi, I'm a nest researcher 👋 and new here on BlueSky, sharing the craziest #bird nests I've ever found. 👀 Today, I’m sharing my discovery of rebellious birds that build nests out of anti-bird spikes. And honestly, it's like telling a joke... A thread. 🧵

'Rolling hills by the Irish coast' - I don't think I've shared this landscape yet! It was a commission completed in Autumn 2024, they wanted an aerial inspired by a specific region of the Irish coast :) I loved the curious field shapes! #embroidery #fibrearts

We CT scanned thousands of vertebrates from US natural history collections and made them freely available. Countless people have used the data for research (>200 pubs) and to learn anatomy/morphology. www.morphosource.org/projects/000...

Over the past days, I've been seeing the image of the famous Hollywood sign in flames shared by people who think it's a real photo. It's not, it's AI-generated, and I'm not going to share it here. But it got me thinking about #PlatformRealism – why does this image resonate with so many people? 1/

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Kid has an English assignment, where school has kids first submit essay to an "AI checker." Kid did not use AI. AI checker says the use of the word "devoid" magically turned essay into 18% AI written. Changing "devoid" makes it drop to 0%. We're spending time "un-AI-ing" an essay that has no AI.

I am fascinated by alternative centering on maps, and this one captures my imagination: "the world according to fish", showing the rivers, lakes and oceans, with ocean floor elevations. The world aquatic.

A version of a projection map of the globe titled "The world according to fish", using Elastic II projection. It's a blue blob of various shades of blue with land being white and featureless.

Well this is grim

weird interaction with a student this week. they kept coming up with weird "facts" ("greek is actually a combination of four other languages") that left me baffled. i said let's look this stuff up together, and they said ok, i'll open a search bar, and they opened... ch*tgpt

and i was like "this is not a search bar" and they were like "yes it is, you can search for anything in here"

the thing that made me feel crazy is like. every kid that's using this as a browser is getting new BESPOKE false "facts." this isn't "a widespread misconception about X that stems from how it's taught in schools." each individual kid is now hooked into a Nonsense Machine

with the "widespread misconception about X" you can start at a baseline. like, ok, in tenth grade we all talk about X thing from history, and that leaves us with some misguided concepts about X, but we can correct that as students get broader understandings of the world

but with this, each child is getting UNIQUE wrong facts they are SURE are correct... because they did what we told them to do! they "looked it up"! they got it from somewhere! it's not a kid making up a belief on hearsay and assumption... it's something they think they LEARNED

this kid was extremely combative with me, and i understood why. i was sitting in front of him and telling him that the internet, a computer, technology, all these supposedly authoritative things... were wrong. and that i, one person, was right. he basically *couldn't* believe me.

he decided that i was simply a teacher who'd made a mistake. he could check it, after all! he could look it up! he could find the REAL facts. i obviously hadn't done that, i was just an adult who'd decided i was smarter than him. hence the defensiveness. like i said: i understood

when i grow up, i want to be a leaf 🍃🍂 “slow down. stop all the running, it ain’t funny anymore. slow down, down, down, down, down, down, down… and just Be, like a Leaf.” too burned out to make lead sheets so im making watercolours instead, preparing to record an album #art #musicsky #musician

A square watercolour painting with oranges greens blues and yellows, of a chord progression and barlines mapping out a song written by Canadian-Californian composer and songwriter Madeline Tasquin. The song’s title “Slow Down” is painted in bubble letters along the top and down the right side. The time signature is ¾, and the Key is D flat.
