Welcome new followers! I work as a naturalist in New England (USA) & I post about plants, animals, art, crafts, gardening, science, queer joy, & eating the rich.

I also love horror films/books, & Good Omens. Feel free to chat with me; I only bite when the timing is right.

Also here is a good dog.

This is a great essay! A lot of anti-science or “fiscal conservative” types are quick to go “we spent how much on shrimp treadmills!?!?!” when in reality these experiments can lead to huge scientific breakthroughs. Also I’d rather my tax money goes to scientists then like, building more bombs or w/e
Every year around Thanksgiving, I see tons of grad students post heartbreaking messages on social media about how their loved ones don’t understand or support their decision to study what seems like something pointless or silly.

Perhaps my American Scientist essay can help!

“Why Are We Funding This?”
Long-standing myths about “silly science” have contributed to the reckless slashing of government-supported research.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

IRISH SCULPTURE

built by the Irish people to honor the American Choctaw Indian tribe. They were grateful because in 1847 the Choctaw people sent money to Ireland when they learned that Irish people were starving due to the potato famine

Yikes. Banning people for activities such as co-authorship and advising a graduate student is completely unreasonable in a modern research environment. And a retroactive 5 year ban is wildly unfair.

In less than a week, 2 ppl have sent me videos depicting heartwarming stories of animals being rescued by people, & the thing is these are AI videos portraying really irresponsible behavior with wildlife. It is so irritating.

Don’t fall for it. Question everything.
