To protect nature, we first need to get to know it ... and that's where identifying comes in. Here's what you need to know. 🧵⤵️
Graphic with green silhouettes of various plants, animals, and fungi. Text reads: "How to start identifying on iNaturalist."Screenshot of iNaturalist's Identify page showing a grid of nature photos all labeled "Unknown." Text reads: "You can help sort unknown observations! These are observations that were uploaded to iNaturalist with no identification at all."Screenshot of an iNaturalist observation page showing a dragonfly photo. Text reads: "What you can do: Add broad IDs like 'Plants,' 'Insects,' 'Birds,' or 'Fungi.' Start with what you recognize. Skip anything you're unsure about — no worries!"

When facial recognition pinned a crime on Kimberlee Williams in a state she'd never been to, Maryland police didn't question it. Ms. Williams will never recoup the 6 months she spent in jail for a crime she had nothing to do with. We're demanding justice and policy change.

WIP for the march #BirdWhisperer green jay! I wanted to paint a love story about a green jay and blue jay since researchers in Texas recently found a bird that appears to be the offspring of such a pair. Their ranges are beginning to overlap due to climate change. #art #WIP #birds
A green jay perched on the end of a sweet acacia tree branch, holding a glowing sweet acacia flower in their beak. A blue jay holds onto the branch further down and shows interest in the flower. Both birds are dressed in cloaks and the green jay also wears a breastplate and a hat with a long thin feather in it. They are surrounded by foliage and glowing flowers. This is the color comp I made for this piece- I'm still working on the final image. Made in procreate. Watermark text: Talenshi Studios

The ideal version of true critical thinking remains vitally important. It has to include the notion of aligning one's credences roughly to expert opinion, precisely when one is not an expert one's self. "Trust" has nothing to do with it, just sensible Bayesian updating.

Just a reminder: screen readers will say, "Image" before reading out your alt text, word for word. So it's best to: - Not type "Image/photo of"—unless a medium is important, such as a painting - Not use the alt text for anything but the image; extra info is confusing - Bonus: Overly long or short

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”
