Id'ing spiders at work and took some photos I really like.
Lots of spider claws (frequently need to know how many there are to distinguish between certain families) w/ a video to give some sense of the dimensionality.
Looking at them here they feel almost embryonic, peaceful.
Also cool crab spiders.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.

He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

“A bunch of well-off men who are not very affected by politics making fun of people who very much are is the short story of how we got here.”

Glad to see multiple outlets covering this Jon Stewart moment

Thesis: people who are still on the AI hype-train are correct in sensing a systemic restructuring of the political and cultural order and are responding to it in ways that we have all been conditioned to do i.e. to desire our own repression.

I wasn't going to post this rant as I'm kind of sick of this & because of this, but I'm also I guess exhausted facing this often alone at home: the sniggering at women academics who have opinions even from other women, although often non-academics, and mostly from men on the dimensions of our 1/n

Day 30 of my 2025 Favorites: That time I learned the fun way that social pseudoscorpions (Paratemnoides) can take down a live goddamn yellow jacket 😳

They caught it, held it down until it exhausted. I'm still kind of flabbergasted, months later. Incredible teamwork. 🤎

iDigBio is STILL proudly displaying their very own genAI chatbot on the homepage of their website, next to a bunch of text about how their vision is to safeguard biodiversity and natural history collections. Please make it make sense.
I promise I'll talk about something else soon but I'm so deeply deeply furious to see scientists playing around with genAI like it's no big deal, as if they do not know better than anyone else in the world how dire the climate situation is. I wish them a lifetime of shame.

If you're an artist coming over from Twitter because of this bullshit they added, first of all:

Really genuinely sorry they fucked you like this & I think it's extremely reasonable to be crashing out HARD right now

Second: I'm gonna offer Bluesky tips and encourage ppl to share starter packs here
Man its like just so invasive and gross feeling to see "Edit Image" appear over other people's images. Musk decided to give us the only kind of gift he can for christmas, sickening disappointment. Best of luck out there folks.

posting just so I don't forget the name of this fantastic animal again: the land snail genus Whittenia is doing the horrible (said with deep and pure love) Nipponites heteromorph thing with its shell. maybe the worst shell on a currently living thing I've ever seen (I love it)

Place theory is a theory of how our interactions with a space creates our identities, and how non-place theory (a space that does not produce identity) specifically applies to social media, and this post does a really good job at explaining it in detail
