his tail is so big because it’s full of schemes

Let's go underwater for #InverteFest with one of the smartest and prettiest invertebrates I know, my companions on many a night dive, S. lessoniana, the Oval or Bigfin squid (depending on who you ask). This one was very curious about the large, clumsy vertebrate with the bright light. :) 📷🌿🐙🦑

We report: the sun is crawling its way up through the clouds, and the fog is keeping a hold on the ground as best as it can, but this already feels like a sunny day. We are watching the flowers rise to face the sky, slowly opening. We can hear the dew dripping off the leaves.

We report under the bright noon sun: this cloud keeps on rising higher and higher, showing no signs of stopping. We have seen some of its neighbours hit ceilings that this cloud does not seem to even acknowledge. We cannot help but root for this growing giant.

Okay, I'll bite with my pickiness: I need a GDocs alternative that's like MS Word/LibreOffice: lets me indent paragraphs and set my text to justified. It also needs to not default to 1.5 or 2x line spacing like Cryptpad. Offline writing on a Samsung mobile would be divine. …without self-hosting.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

When I was growing up autistic kids were "hyper" or "had water on the brain" and there was always a raft of "weird kids" who were socially ostracized because they had a hard time people-ing. If you don't think autism existed before it was commonly called "autism," it's because you chose not to see.

The amount of effort that went into this meme is almost embarrassing. Thanks to the duckling discord and Ilargikat for helping me get the last missing slot. #xmen97 #gambit #mystique #professorx #deathbird #xmenmeme #bishop #magneto #wolverine #xmenmemes

We weren’t meant to thrive in a fast paced work environment we were meant to collect berries in the summertime and lie down for a whole day after mistaking the bad orange mushroom for the good orange mushroom

Out of Oxford - an older painting of mine depicting Lyra, Will, Pantalaimon and the cat from The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman. My vision of Cittàgazze.

my employer thinks I’m too informal in my business correspondence but razzmatazz is in the dictionary so take that bill

Honestly, me too.

Dachshund #46. I'm drawing a dachshund every day until THE LISTENERS comes out in June 3rd. Great balls of fire, I amuse myself. #dachshund #art #gustavklimt

We report: through the unpredictable days of April, the clouds rise and fall within moments, and sun and rain ceaselessly chase each other. It seems that at last, one has caught up to the other; we got a shower at sunset, a brief burst from clouds we cannot locate.

Today a lady in the beer garden asked me to turn on airdrop and when I did she sent me photos she took of Indy because she thought he was so cute. I assume this is also what happens in that new movie Drop

Notable birds of the past week: hermit thrush, brewer's blackbird, and my greatest triumph the belted kingfisher. Not to be confused with the birkenstocked kingfisher - both are denizens of the high desert but the belted kingfisher does not randomly spout concepts for horror novels.

Looking at the Kennedys, it's amazing that America found a way to have a crazy aristocratic family, of a type that usually takes several hundred years of inbreeding to get that way, in under half a century. That's American ingenuity and efficiency right there.

“Clue,” which is a comfort film to this day. ☺️

If you ever find me in the bowels of a heavily guarded laboratory, peacefully suspended in a large tube of bubbling liquid, please mind your own business.

Talking about 4chan going down with Partner, who said, “One has to wonder where those bottom-feeding mouth-dwellers…” and just. Stopped. For like five seconds.

The largest paying crowd in the history of Wrigley Field was the day Jackie Robinson made his debut. Wrigley is the only park left Jackie played a game in. Mike Ryoko was a kid at that ballpark that day and he wrote about it. Take a minute and read this today. press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago...

We report: the cirrus take to the sky like a flock of birds, extended wings on the wind, moving to the east and dropping feathers on the way. On their tails, we can see altostratus forming, slowly weaving a web around the sun. We take note of the barometer's drop.

Tax information gets submitted to the Dept. of Education so they can run calculations to determine eligibility — the student's “need” for need-based awards (grants, etc). Then it's forwarded to schools of the student's choosing for more calculations ($3K/yr school, $10K/yr?), sometimes verification.

There is good AI and bad AI, and they are easy to tell apart. This is very very good AI.

I dislike spoilers because they distract me from the experience. I end up so busy looking for the moment that was spoiled that I'm not paying attention to the actual plot or how the characters interact. (Or I lose interest in the journey since I already know the outcome with no attachment to it.)

My cartoon for this week's @newscientist.com

I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

I'm partway through her book, Careless People, and uh. If you need an easy synopsis of what FB management was like in 2011-2014, think The Devil Wears Prada going on under the nose of an Elon Musk clone whose enablers simply allow him to win at board games to save his fragile manchild ego. 🫠
