Found a midge this morning, Goeldichironomus carus, that appears to mimic a jumping spider.

macro photo of a small brown midge in front view, with six triangular black spots on its back above the head, and the legs arranged a bit like jumping spider legs.

So the US is at war with Iran. We are now funding Russia. And Russia is helping Iran. We are paying our opponent to shoot at us, then? This whole thing looks like a foreign policy Rube Goldberg device to enrich the U.S. fossil fuel oligarchs.

Nearby, other midges that did not look like spiders were being eaten by spiders. Phidippus audax, the bold jumper. Spiders generally avoid each other, so a potential prey item that manages to trick a spider could be safe.

In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

The United States under the Trump regime has openly switched sides in the Ukraine war.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

Lol, we're about to televise an execution while whinging that code that illegally hacks businesses to collect and sell our information shouldn't be turned off. Pretty soon, A fucking I will have more rights than women in America.

Ndeeeeee!!!! I was in Canindeyu, near the Mbaracayu reserve, 95-97, then Ag coordinator, 98-99.

I mean, fair point. But dude, 300 individual people own everything in Paraguay, nearly all descendents of wealthy Europeans.

One of the stranger coversations I had in Peace Corps was when a rich Paraguayo of Spanish descent helicoptered in to the remote nature preserve near my community (a mix of mestizo & indigenous groups, both dirt poor), and gave me a snide lecture about George Bush's colonialism.

This is what happens when you let Nazis escape to South America. The settle down, live their lives, and their descendants ascend to political power as… (rolls dice) center-leftists, I guess?

Trump is like: “We’re going to pull the fingernails off everyone from Nepal” and the media is like “Trump gave an economic speech today” What is the media even doing here? It’s malpractice.

Our media is so bad that most normie Americans who aren’t online all the time simply do not know that their politicians call for murdering people by throwing them out of helicopters. Good for Ossoff.

Trump regime shooting at children. Total sociopaths.

We need to speak plainly and loudly about the absolute murderous evil of Republicans. This is a good example.

Also, it’s a bit jarring to hear the guy who killed 150 children when he bombed an elementary school talk about “consequences”.

The administration’s resort to increasingly horrific forms of state violence as Trump loses his grip on power doesn’t make me feel super great, I have to say

Eventually, regime members like Guilfoyle who accept bribes but fail to deliver results will be one of the regime’s biggest liabilities. Spurned partners will complain and leak, and the crime machine breaks down. There is no honor among thieves.

What you’re saying is, Anne Carson was letting out a huge fart when they called?

Thanks! Those ones required a bit of planning, and the patience of @emilyjanedennis.bsky.social, who sat for hours watching the pupae to let me know when they had started to emerge.
