And THIS is why I planted strawflowers! Welcome to my garden. #ozflora #wildoz #butterflies 🦋

"For enterprises, the challenge is no longer simply deciding whether to invest in AI. It is working out how much individual agents are costing, what they are doing with that expenditure and whether the resulting productivity, security or other business benefits justify the investment."

I got a book by the artist William T. Cooper on how to draw birds, and I'm having a lot of fun copying some of his sketches from it. I really admire how sure his hand is when he draws.

There are Dung Beetles in my garden! Cephalodesmius armiger are native to Australia, live in rainforest floors, and construct balls of rotting vegetable matter instead of dung. #invertebrates #insects

Photo of a black beetle on a storage tank. The beetle is ovoid with a large, humped thorax, short red/orange antennae, and prongs the front of its head for rolling things. It appears glossy but only because it rained that day.

Same subject, different angle.There is more detail visible in its head and it's easier to make out its round, black eyes, and the four dung-rolling prongs.

Same species, different individual, different location (backyard, with dry leaf and grass matter). This individual isn't wet from rain so its body has more satin appearance, though its head is still rather glossy.

A toad with a light brown back, a darker brown stripe running down their side, and a yellowish to creamy white belly! Their skin is very rough and pebbly! They have no visible eardrums and very low, flattened parotoid glands!

There are apparently fig trees(!) in Sheffield & here's the Sheffield Tribune's explanation of how they got there: There really is no place called "Away"... everything comes from somewhere and everything goes somewhere.

"They owe their existence to Sheffielders of the past’s fondness for fig biscuits, with the seeds that passed through their digestive system finding their way to Meadowhall. There, germinated by the regular hot discharges from the area’s steel mills, they grew into the forest of urban figs you see today."

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.
