April Fool's day. Remember that sense of suspicion we feel today, how critical we are about everything everyone is telling you, how we fact check even the big accounts we normally blindly believe and retweet. We should do do this more often ;)

I see you are scrolling and looking for news. Well, I am happy to provide. The bacteria genus Wigglesworthia is named for Vincent Brian Wigglesworth, a respected entomologist who was knighted and thus was known as Sir Wigglesworth, a name shared with someone's very cute puppy.

I remember when a new version of Windows meant there would be all sorts of new features and the trailers would have a big song announcing the update and everyone waited in line for the new hotness and now your computer randomly reboots at some point and the update is you can no longer save files.

I think we, as a culture, have really done ourselves a disservice by letting Patreon get positioned as a service people pay for. Patreon isn't supposed to be about paying for access to certain works. It's supposed to be about investing in creators so those works can exist.
