Ø

My name is Ø (Null). They/them/their pronouns only. Vegan. I try to tag it but this blog does occasionally have body horror. Header on sidebar is from a commission @toastyhat did for me. If I talk about developing AI, I am not talking about generative AI (the kind you're angry at)

i do think lobbying for data centres over climate goals should be considered a crime against humanity btw

imagine saying the quiet part out loud like this and thinking people will take your side

(i know they aren’t saying this for you or me. they are saying this for the politicians who are in the pocket of big tech and petro)

The symmetry of this turn in the air!

Yellow Warblers (Setophaga petechia) are small, agile birds known for their stunning ‘circle flight’ during nest-building.

These little guys perform a semi-circular flight to mark their territory.

The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because they’re hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.

Did you know that soda machines at restaurants and movie theaters spy on you? That most common new cars now record your sexual preferences and send it to the manufacturer (and also data about anyone who also gets in your car, walks by your car, and maybe happens to be within visual range of your car)? That grocery stores are trying to force customers to download an app to scan barcodes on shelves instead of putting up prices, so the app can scan the phone, decide how much that customer should be squeezed for, and adjust the price? That more and more innocent people are being sent to jail for crimes committed hundreds of miles away because an AI facial recognition algorithm spit their faces out and the cops didn't bother to do the most basic of checks?

I am not uptight about privacy because I'm hiding something. I'm uptight about it because the people who dismiss my right to privacy are dangerous to you and me and our families, personally, all the time.

And often, they are assholes, too.

A little tiny microscopic dragon, rotifers passing by.

I've spent a lot of time peering down a microscope in the last few years, enjoying taking inspiration from the real tiny organisms to make one of my own.

ALWAYS REMEMBER: THE NIGHT IS DARKEST JUST BEOFRE IT KEEPS GOING FOREVER

[maruposting]

This is the standard winged nightjar and it has one singular stupidly big feather on each wing... if you even care.

[legalise-greenleaf]

Love this guy

[a-book-of-creatures]

That’s standard as in “pennant” or “banner”, not standard as in “normal”.

But it’s not a pennant-winged nightjar. THIS is a pennant-winged nightjar… if you even care.

[crevicedwelling]

can’t forget the Lyre-tailed Nightjar! there’s actually a number of these ridiculous guys, and they’re partly why caprimulgiforms are some of my favorite birds

also the Sickle-winged Nightjar, which is. come on, that’s just a weird moth

[a-book-of-creatures]

Everyone does care about nightjars 🥹
