#FunFactFriday Orcas are picky eaters! They pass on hunting knowledge matrilineally, and different ecotypes (or communities) hunt different types of food, to avoid competition. Some orcas eat fish, others eat aquatic mammals, some sharks—and multiple species rip out shark livers, specifically! 🐠🦭🦈

it makes me feel sad for folks, because they’re setting themselves up for disappointment either way. a very restrictive mindset like that can be harmful, mostly to yourself.

Just a little request that if you see someone trolling, please don’t respond— just block and move on with your life thanks 🧡

Other than spreading the word (and not participating in the app) not much else. But if you come across something you think might be another illegally-trained AI voice model, please do email/DM us to let us know!! 🧡

No kidding. At the moment this one’s the only one I know of! But I’m being vigilant, and I’m lucky that many of my friends are also helping me be on the lookout. The company is based overseas so we can’t do too much about it legally, unfortunately.

Ah, thanks— the misinformation is more of a slightly amusing annoyance than anything tbh. This, though… this one’s not great.

The AI slop app “Talkie AI” illegally stole my voice & MANY coworkers’ voices, and is actively profiting off of our stolen work. Good news is the App Store banned em! Bad news is Google Play hasn’t replied to a single DCMA takedown request. If you use this app, please stop now. It’s harming us. 💔

#FunFactFriday We share the planet with these guys. Black dragonfish use near-infrared bioluminescence to hunt! Not to attract prey, but to see them in the dark. This one’s female; males are smaller & brown, plus they don’t have that gorgeous barbel on their chin. Or teeth. Or… a functioning gut😅🐉

you need to figure out where your sources’ sources are coming from, but something tells me you don’t have the ability to discern fact from fantasy.

I think they were pointing out how silly it is that these tech idiots are claiming that data centers are beneficial for the communities they’re built in. They’re not.

Giselle Fernandez/GZ Fern (they/them) @gzfernvo.com · 04/09/2026

oh yeah and everything’s named “peachtree” to make it more confusing when roads ARE marked. a lot of the infrastructure improvements get voted down because of racism thinly veiled as classism, particularly public transit, sadly.

Giselle Fernandez/GZ Fern (they/them) @gzfernvo.com · 03/09/2026

then you were lucky you lived and went to school on the marta line! most of the city isn’t reachable by marta, unfortunately. seriously, look up the map of train lines. it’s laughably bad but at least it does go to the airport.

Giselle Fernandez/GZ Fern (they/them) @gzfernvo.com · 03/09/2026

yeah as someone who grew up right off 285, I’m always having to adjust back to driving like a normal human and not an aggressive goblin when I come back to LA from visiting. i think it’s partly the lack of decent public transit tbh. a lot of folks really shouldn’t be driving.

This merger nonsense is worse behind the scenes than most folks even know. Paramount has been holding contract negotiations hostage until the merger and is using that to fleece people and take advantage everywhere they can.

#FunFactFriday Dr. Sarah McAnulty runs a nonprofit called “Skype a Scientist” that provides kids with access to scientists in different fields. These advent calendars are PERFECT gifts for all ages, plus they help fund learning & science communication! AND YOU GET TO LEARN ABOUT SNAILS!! 🧡🐌

yeesh, adding “make sure you’re close enough to touch it” to that is… so much worse

kind of horrifying to think that most folks consider the “foolproof” way of getting a Waymo to stop is to literally STAND IN FRONT OF A MOVING CAR

(that said, if one lands on you please swat it before it can bite you, if you can. they can carry a lot of nasty diseases and parasites that you definitely don’t want)

000

Giselle Fernandez/GZ Fern (they/them) @gzfernvo.com · 01/08/2026

Haha, well it couldn’t quite work that way— mosquitos are super important pollinators for a lot of plants, and while many females of other insects can reproduce on their own (called parthenogenesis), males can’t do that or lay eggs. They’d die off! And without them, the flowers would be sad 🌺🌸🌻

Giselle Fernandez/GZ Fern (they/them) @gzfernvo.com · 31/07/2026

#FunFactFriday Mosquitoes are not obligate parasites! That means they *could* just drink flower nectar their whole lives and never bother a single mammal— in fact, all male mosquitos do this! But female mosquitos choose to drink blood, because it’s a concentrated source of lots of nutrients. 🦟🩸

Just a fun Tuesday reminder that “AI Art” is an oxymoron, & takes about as much skill as it takes to look up random stock images 🧡 So many real artists undermine themselves, but if you’re putting in the effort, you’re already 1000x better than anyone using AI. Real art is worth doing the work. 🎨🎤📚📷

#FunFactFriday When ancient Chinese emperor Qin Shi Huang died on the road, those around him feigned he was still alive by dragging a cart of dead fish in front of the carriage he’d died in to conceal the smell. 🐟🐠 Ironically he likely died from trying to make himself immortal by drinking mercury.😬

ehh I dunno, I grew up in Atlanta where everything’s named the same 2 things so my parents’d mostly give directions by landmark. that convo would be more like “how’d you get there? shiny driveway or the road by the old pool?”

as someone who lives in pasadena I can personally report there is also a different building in pasadena that looks strikingly like la porte indiana’s courthouse

St. Andrew’s Church in pasadena, similarly to the indiana courthouse building it features a large brick clock tower turret and a plentitude of archways

Been reflecting a lot lately and figured I’d share something. I knew a man, growing up, who survived WW2 as a kid from Poland. He was a neighbor of mine and a kind-hearted soul. He told us stories of that awful time. The one the stuck with me the most was the last time he saw his father. 🧵 1/4

#FunFactFriday When animals are sexually dimorphic (meaning different sexes look so different from each other they could come from a different species), sometimes nature makes a genetic mashup of sexes in one individual, called a ✨gynandromorph✨. They’re on the rarer side & very cool to see! 🧡🦋🏳️‍🌈

A round blue sticker on a green background. The sticker has an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly gynandromorph, the left half yellow (like males of the species) and the right half brown (like females of the species). The caption says “gynandromorphs for gender diversity”. Not all gynandromorphs are so equally split but some are!

the amount of therapists I have immediately dumped because the first thing they ask is “it’s cool I’m recording your sessions with AI right” No, actually, in no universe should ANYONE be cool with that, for so so many reasons— it’s actively dangerous at worst and just lazy & unprofessional at best

may I offer a pic of this sweet kitty who came up to me on my walk the other day to demand scritches? not a cure for chronic pain but helpful to the soul at least maybe 🧡

photo of a white and gray cat with a patch of black the end of its tail. It’s sitting on its side on the sidewalk looking off into the distance, seemingly calm but also ready at a moment’s notice to hop up and rub on your legs if you chose to not pay attention to it in all its splendor

Why they dress up so femme? Well, the only insects with stingers built in for protection are female, since a stinger’s just a modified ovipositor. Meaning in the world of bees, the more female they look, the safer they are from predators! ✨🧡
