Tiny bees of early spring! I'm slowly getting better at Tiny Bee ID & did a little rundown of the genera of bees you're likely to see. Dime, bumble, & honeybee for scale. granted, this species range is for March/April & it is now May so I'm running behind, but bit by bit, I'm building up resources!

Types of native spring bees of eastern north America - TO SCALE!
In the background is a time, and faded out silhouettes of bumblebee and honeybee for scale

Smallest to largest
Ceratina - shiny, metallic, low to the ground, and a blue-ish color. Minimal visible hair
Lasioglossum - shiny and metallic, silvery-gray with some hair, especially in bands on abdomen
Osmia - ROTUND, round with a pollen belly. This one happens to be hairy and gray, but there's a wide variety out there
Colletes - black bug with a fuzzy fur coat and abdominal banding. Heart-shaped face
Andrena - black bug with a fuzzy fur coat and minimal abdominal banding. Square-rectangular face
Nomada - earthtone tiny "wasp" sometimes REALLY tiny

Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds

to anyone who's tried to get me into anything, i'm sorry

What you need to understand about recommending a show to me is that no matter how much we both know I'll like it, I can't watch it until the Neurodivergence Department in my brain approves it. I don't know when that will be, and I don't have any more control over it than you do.

Valley Carpenter bees and their fun sexual dimorphism for #invertefest

Two valley carpenter bees side by side, the one on the left is colored like a typical male with orange fuzz and green eyes, and the female on the right colored so black that it is hard to distinguish any features. Speech bubble from the left bee reads, "Hi, I'm Sunny B and this is my wife, VOID"

flash drives are so big for so cheap nowadays that it actually fucks me up. i don't want to put a single text file on a 128gb stick. it's too big. the file is going to get all rattled around and dinged up if i leave it in there by itself

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Tiny Toad! I heard from @jencross.bsky.social were sharing these 🐸

A VERY small toad (Gulf Coast Toad young of year) sits on the fingertip of the post author. Toad was safely released.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Someone asked me if my tribute to the X-Men comics of the mid-80s, Kit + The Wolf, is still up. It's still up, as free as the air you breathe: scarygoround.com/kitwolf/

i know a lot of people are like "live for spite!!!" and i 100% support that if that's what keeps you going but if it doesn't work for you you can live for a variety of reasons, including "read book that isn't out yet", "love", "step on a crunchy leaf", "look at the river", "pat a creature" etc

okay, so. i have bipolar disorder. we have a suicide rate of about 1/5. i've basically spent my entire teenage and adult life trying not to kill myself. so with that in mind, here are my tips on how to hang in there: 1) don't isolate. i know all the excuses. but don't do it

trans and queer people I really urge you to not be talking in public about whatever extra-judicial steps you are taking to secure your identity, your transition, or your means of self-defense now or ever. the vast majority of your communications are accessible, and it's crucial that you act like it

Biden has been the most successful and progressive policy president in generations, he’s presided over the best economy in generations, and progressives refuse to defend him because he has failed to stop a war in which the US isn’t a party and both belligerents have continually refused peace errorts

That's what should make Spoutible users nervous. Your site is run by someone who's patting himself on the back for fixing a security vulnerability he created that even a teenager who was just learning how to code should have known not to create in the first place.

It's not about the data. It's about the fact his code review process is so nonexistent he accepted code that handed literally anyone every single secret you need to invisibly and without any sign compromise any account on the service to anyone who had the dev console open in their browser.

Talking about this like a data breach is a red herring and just leads to Spoutible stans like you popping up with "but but but what about OTHER SITES". Not every incident is equal. This is the most severe security incident I've ever seen happen in a 23 year career of watching these things happen.
