Another shot from yesterdays walk with the 60mm macro. I take a lot of spider photos but rarely post them because I'm a slave to the themes of the day 😀 There's a sprinkling of #WebWednesday tags here and there, so I think I'll hop aboard that one. #Photography #Spiders #Webs

A mabel orchard orbweaver spider sits in the center of its web, still spinning as you can see a web coming out of its body. Behind is pure green and the web strands stand out clearly.

I took my little 60mm macro out yesterday and had a very nice walk in the gardens. It's always been one of my favorite lenses but since I can't really capture distant birds with it I don't take it out as much as I should. 😀 #RoseWednesday #Flowers #Bloomscrolling #Photography #Roses

A single purple/pink rose grows in front of green leaves below it and blurry browns further back.

All I’m saying is I was searching for stats today, and MULTIPLE times the AI summary at the top was confidently wrong. Off by 100x. Or made up a number. When I asked “what is the exact source” it said “You’re right to ask that question. It turns out that’s not exactly true. But I can do XYZ...”

Thinking the married woman is somehow different than the woman you just dating is how you end up divorced. The same energy you had when you got them is the same energy you need to keep them.

Earth’s day length naturally varies over decades. A study in Nature finds that these variations in day length are caused by gravitational coupling between Earth’s inner core and its solid mantle. go.nature.com/4iTvJSO ⚒️🧪

This is figure 4, which shows multidecadal zonal core flows and torque on the mantle.

One of the things I love, as more Black people get diagnosed, support, accommodations, education, and resources; we get more people in this fight for acceptance and social justice for autistic and disabled (period) Black people

I'll be the first person to tell you how an understanding of quantitative methods for answering questions has changed my life. Still, it's hard to reconcile that with the eugenicist history of statistics, and I suggest everyone give it at least a moment of reflection.

Eyebrow threading with sensitive skin is always a time. It never hurts any less and the threaders are often intrigued at the lack of reaction despite obvious pain

Teen Social Media Bans Miss the Point

Instead of treating platforms as monoliths, adults and policymakers should listen to the young people who know them best.
