At this stage of industrial development, to not have a Universal Basic income and Universal Healthcare is downright uncivilized.

I am so happy to see this. I’ve looked up to Adam since I was a kid. He made me realize being odd and weird was a good thing. His book, “Every Tool’s A Hammer,” inspired me to write my Gryphon Generation series. We have the best new addition to our community. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEf_...

Last night's aurora is frozen to the sky this morning. A few dragons are trying to chip away bits of it, undoubtedly to sell them for exorbitant prices at a later time. #Writing

Stop using AI. Yes, even just for fun. AI is built on STOLEN images and text. That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI. Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment. (Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

Thank you so much to my visual designer on this project Kristina. I always jump at the chance to make something that relates to natural sciences! Read the article here: www.quantamagazine.org/intelligence...

Intelligence Evolved at Least Twice in Vertebrate Animals | Quanta Magazine

Complex neural circuits likely arose independently in birds and mammals, suggesting that vertebrates evolved intelligence multiple times.

This was made for “Intelligence Evolved at Least Twice in Vertebrate Animals” for Quanta. The premise is that intelligence is something that has formed itself within two different paths of evolution within birds and mammals independently over time. It was great to have science related work again!

This on a post about how bird flu can potentially transmit from your cat to yourself, just to make sure you know how unhinged it was for them to argue about longevity for outdoor cats in that post. I'm going to just start blocking people who make having an invasive species their whole personality.

A person stating their shortest lives cats were indoor.

Me replying that I had 8 outdoor cats die very young in childhood before the indoor cats lived to be over 17.

They reply that I should have taken "better care of your fucking outdoor cats like I did"

I point out I did my best to ask the coyotes not to eat them and cars not to hit them before I did precisely that by making the cats indoor only.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue. TWENTY. As in, they call that getting slammed. So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind. TWENTY is a lot.

It’s a gloomy day here in the UK today - so here is another Costasiella slug from the Philippines. These #seaslugs are always pretty photogenic - especially this one with the pink tips. It’s not a #Nudibranch technically. #MarineLife #Invertebrates #MacroPhotography #Wildlife

A photo of a sap sucking sea slug that has a small white face with black eyes and rhinophores. Its back is covered in bright green cerata with small pink tips.
