Wow! Once in a lifetime shot!

This amazing image of a meteor was captured by Jonathan Eggleston in West Virgina, USA, during the recent lunar eclipse.

In practice it means I already have all my content from here saved as I make it, in another version of my social graph.

If anyone is looking for a copy of Chiropractor Monthly, I have a load of back issues.

@jetton Hey, just noticed you have #evolutionaryBiology in your intro post.

And there's always a question I've wanted to ask.

How the hell does symbiosis and parasitosis evolve?

I have an idea, please correct me if I'm wrong:

That species never evolve on their own, all evolution depends on their current environment and other species participate on that, so they evolve together as a system, and never isolated. Just as species compete for survival: Birds with better vision and moths with better mimicry. But moths would never reach that level of precision if small birds were not able to recognize snakes or owls. So the ability of moths to mimic snakes or owl eyes DEPENDS on their predators' ability to recognize them. So they evolve together and ironically require being on the edge of death (evolutionary pressure?) to produce and thrive with these wonderful mutations.

Is this how symbiosis evolves? For example, certain juice-producing caterpillars using the aid of ants to protect themselves, and so on?

Is there any literature about the topic?

Dear Twitter ex-pats. When we all flounced out of Twitter loudly proclaiming we were going to Mastodon this sent a message to trolls, nazis that they could set up servers & come here.

If anyone gets harrassed with hatespeech pls note that that is not the culture of Mastodon. Please report & block those users. If you notice a pattern from the same weird domain, block that domain, write a post of the server name w/ a hashtag fediblock so your server admin can follow up & block it for everyone.

I normally don’t like posting #Twitter screenshots but this is just gold

CORRECTING 👏 YOUR 👏 TYPOS 👏 IS 👏 A 👏 SING 👏 OF 👏 WEAKNESS 👏

I'm so sorry in advance.😂
