@asm.org this better not be anticipatory obedience. I have 5 lab members planning on going to ASM microbe this year. I will absolutely pivot to another meeting if ASM gives in to anti-DEI efforts.

I’m on one of ASMs IDEAA committees and we have received 0 communication from ASM staff on why this is happening. I had to find out via social media. Extremely disappointing.

Hi! I've seen an uptick in people sharing/following my (no longer updated) scraper block list. I'm making a pinned post with the (currently updated) block list that @franzanth.bsky.social has been maintaining. Please follow this one! bsky.app/profile/fran...

What a shame. Really didn't want to see genAI from APOD or NASA. Using this tech signals carelessness, disregard for accuracy, & disregard for people & the environment, among other negatives.

Hello, I've officially moved the Content Scrapers blocklist to its own dedicated account. The old list will stay for the time being, but you'll need to manually re-subscribe to the new list if you want to stay up to date with the latest additions to the blocklist.

On the first day of #Crustmas, my true love gave to me One Uca fiddler crab from west of Panama City

New custom stamp just dropped 👀👀👀 (thanks @maureenbug.bsky.social and Jonelle !) #VEGA24

Attention: ALL OF ASIA Asia is home to rich, yet largely underdocumented biodiversity. This Fri-Sun, we're having a CONTINENT-WIDE community effort to record the wildlife around us. Join us in this historic effort—there's a high chance you'd be the first person ever to observe a new species.

I once vacationed with @maureenbug.bsky.social and there was a giant female one blocking our door and I named her Philly Cheesesteak the prophecy finally came true

I'm an ELDER now

it's so wild to me that the #InverteFest demographics are now so different, nobody is aware of the Dorito Crab lore anymore. thanks, twitterpocalypse.
