Anthropologist in training. Loves: my fam, plant lore, Star Trek, science, self-improvement, being excellent to each other. Watch out: social media makes it easy to start craving approval, performing a label instead of acting in accordance with values.
New Year's resolution: I will kindly push back on nasty comments online, not just ignore+block, such as: "I'm happy to reply to your comment when you express yourself in a respectful and factual way." "I'm sorry for whatever you are going through, however I won't accept being spoken to like that."

Please someone start a rumor that it makes men impotent. "I eat it because I know things like that keep you young... That's what people say in secret in the forest—it keeps you young because of the foods that they eat."
Endangered lemurs in Madagascar now face increased risk from a secretive luxury meat trade, with nearly 13,000 animals consumed annually and demand driven by affluent urban consumers. doi.org/hbcdsm

Lemurs, the small primates with bushy tails and large, expressive eyes, are among the world's most endangered species. According to the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List, of the 112 species of lemur, more than 90% are threatened with extinction.

I've canceled Disney+, Spotify and Hulu until Disney stands up for the US Constitution and First Amendment, & said so in my cancel message. I don't like what he said, but it's nowhere near as nasty as the stuff coming out of narcissist nutjobs like L@ura L00mer, MTG, head of Pr0wd Boiz and such.

I know I'm not perfect by any stretch and I don't always say nice things. Maybe because of this, I decided years ago that if I think something nice about somebody I shouldn't keep it in my head, I should tell them. We all can stand to say and hear more nice things.

I felt really bad about holding up the bus for these two shots but at least I caught these two new life list #birds outside of #Matsumoto, #Japan:
a Bull-headed Shrike and an Eastern Buzzard.

Been wanting to make the Skjoldenhamn hood for awhile, finally did up a muslin and...it doesn't fit well. It's good in that it conserves fabric, which was precious. I bet somebody took a single piece of mom's very hard work to make it, but it bunches up at the shoulders. Oh well! #FashionHIstory

I spent ~2 weeks of evenings w/ ChatGPT making it be my DM to take me on a fantasy adventure. It was so obviously never going to let my group fail, was so repetitive and full of tropes I started to do over-the-top dumb shit and it just yes and-ed me to absurd heroics.

ChatGPT became such a sycophant even hardcore AI bros noticed
ChatGPT, the favorite digital sycophant of thousands of tech bros, has been turned into a little too much of a doormat. Every AI model under the sun is apparently too…

People, Hello Kitty has never been a cat! She has a pet cat! To me it's a bit weird that she doesn't have a mouth. Years ago, Sanrio said that's because "she speaks the language of the heart." I love you anyway and always, #HelloKitty, ya cut lil' no-mouth weirdo!

Lots of new birds added my "life list" in #Japan. I photograph birds I've never seen even if they are common! I cheeped my best sparrow impression at this sweet Eurasian Tree Sparrow at #Matsumoto Castle, and it hopped right over to me. I was delighted. #birds

On the nose, although I took crowd shots without asking and didn't get the "disapproving glare". In these cases everyone was taking photos. However I didn't take what I would describe as non-consensual portrait photos without asking. #Japan rustyselectricdreams.substack.com/p/what-i-wis...

After two weeks of using Japanese company Toto's clear monopoly on toilets, my #QuickReview is: the bidet and automatically opening toilet seat features aren't worth it. I'd keep the heated seat, big/little flush choice and noise generation though.
