One or two snowflakes in attendance at the National Conservatives conference asked if we could stop referring to the nasty party as the Nat-Cs because it hurts their feelings. Especially as people are pronouncing Nat-C as 'Nazi'.

They have therefore suggested changing their name from the National Conservatives to the Conservative Nationalists or CNTs for short. To be fair, both would be apt.

Dr. Jane Goodall visited Hungary recently, and she stayed at a hotel that gives guests bedtime stories (instead of mint) on their pillow every day. I worked with them to create their folktale collection.

So, I had the honor of making a personalized selection of bedtime stories for Dr. Goodall 😊 😊 Which is honestly one of the highlights of my storytelling career 😄 ❤️

The German words

- "Tinnef"
- "Krempel"
- "Kram"
- "Rumpel"
- "Schund"
- "Ramsch"
- "Gelumpe"
- "Tand"
- "Prüll"
- "Geraffel"
- "Plunder"

all mean about the same: "useless, worthless stuff". Things no one needs.

So, actually, you will only need one of those words.

Which automatically turns all the others into - well...

Enjoy our language!

In order to #conserve #nature, we need to know what's out there and how #species are related to each other.

And have a look at one of the most (fittingly) #beautiful #phylogenetic trees you'll ever see👇🏼

Dwa dni temu @to3k stwierdził, że "Wprowadzenie domen .zip i .mov to dramat od strony cyberbezpieczeństwa...", no i miał rację - oto dobry przykład, jak takie domeny mogą zostać wykorzystane przez atakujących:

A technicality, but this incident was not a result of a bee “swarm”.

Swarming is a defined behavior, where bees are hiveless and looking for a new home. Swarming bees are gentle, having no hive to defend, and rarely sting.

What happened here was, something bothered an established hive in someone’s roof and the bees mounted a defensive response.

When you're pondering, covered in cold sweat, how to deal with the whole .zip clusterfsck…

When you're trying to wrap your head around possible new attacks or old ones that are going to now be supercharged because of .zip…

When you're wondering at night, tossing and turning, how to explain to your org the difference between .zip and .zip…

…take solace in the fact that some #Google accountant somewhere is tallying the profits.

Hey kids, this is why all those laws that sex workers tell you are smoke screens for purity culture bullshit are actually bad!

Our shop, @sweetreadsict
has been closed off from PayPal. PayPal accounts for half of our regular business and the vast majority of our international.

It should be noted that the shop does not actually sell anything 'sexually oriented materials or services.' The most graphic thing we have is the Emptied Spaces anthology, which is no where near as salacious as what you can find at Barnes and Noble or your local bookshop.

It doesn't matter, though. Some random asshole reported the store and PayPal decided being queer is too risque for them. This is the end consequence of pushing obscenity laws that do nothing but satisfy the urges of dominionists that want us dead and gone.

Also there's no appeals process, lol.

Have you ever wondered how a black bear emerges from his/her tree den? Lucky for us, Michelle Hanson was there and took photos!

Oh my God I just got a research grant. I actually got a research grant. Going to go quietly but emphatically celebrate a much needed win.

I just went for a ~40 minute walk. I came across 0 other🚶‍♂️ , 4 🚗 , and 1 🦊 !

And 64 streetlights...

Assuming the streetlights use 50 W each, the city burned 1.3 kWh of electricity for me and the fox. Is dawn-to-dusk streetlighting really necessary in residential neighborhoods if at 10 pm there are as many foxes as people walking around?
