I aim to always appreciate beauty, joy, kindness, and love, and to spread those when I can. My day job is as geeky as can be. My feminism very much includes sex workers and all marginalised genders.

I don't advocate for the death of Nazis, I prefer them alive and held accountable.
But I also don't mourn them when they go.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

woah this is genuinely, utterly WILD
Ant queens of one species produce males of another species, so she can then mate with them and produce hybrid workers!
This is so gloriously weird I can't quite compute it 🤯🧪🐜

‘Almost unimaginable’: these ants are different species but share a mother
Ant queens of one species clone ants of another to create hybrid workers that do their bidding.

How Ireland’s landmark €325-a-week arts scheme changed my life – I’ve never taken it for granted
People who make art are human beings who need the same things as you: shelter, food and water. But they also need to be valued enough to invest in

but the method mostly from www.theflavorbender.com/sous-vide-cr...
short version: I use a sous vide setup, 4oz Mason jars, and a kitchen blowtorch

I thought this thread —with the replies as of this writing— was exactly what I needed today. Then I saw the recipe, and I guess I don't need a sous-vide setup today, but if it wasn't already decided I am getting one someday, it surely is decided now.

I was randomly flipping through illustrations in the digitized British Library collection and discovered that Gilbert (of Gilbert & Sullivan) apparently encountered David Bowie in 1890.
You’ll never convince me he wasn’t one of the Fair Folk slumming it.
