Lioconcha hieroglyphica is a saltwater clam that makes cellular automata-style patterns in some kind of hieroglyphical or cuneiform way. Also see the textile cone, the lioconcha castrensis and the nature tag here.
Poverty is a policy choice. A broken healthcare system is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
Dahling you simply must read this book! It’s all about this devious little caterpillar who simply gorges himself on all manner of divine things

Guy who has a non-research degree in a field that never studies human subjects: Here are my opinions on what needs to be done for me to respect this field I've decided to become a denier of.
[Extreme breach of scientific ethics]
[Violent abuse of power]
[Method that actually doesn't obtain any information]
[Controlled double-blind studies of phenomena where that is literally impossible]
[Seeking empirical proof that a word has the meaning that it's defined as]
[Study that would have a dropoff rate of 100%]
Additionally, how do we know that [best currently available theory] is true, and not [dominant theory from 100 years ago that repeatedly failed in the face of evidence]? I have found some minor methodological flaws in [studies that were not designed to prove the best available theory, but rather examine edge cases within that theory], so we should really consider [nonsense with no evidence backing it whatsoever].
Lots of little kids love construction trucks. My older kid went through a whole phase as a toddler; couldn't get enough of 'em. During lockdown, one of the best out-of-the-house distractions was to go find a construction site and watch the backhoes and whatnot at work. (my private theory is that construction machinery pushes the same brain buttons as dinosaurs for little kids: huge and powerful, but you can also name and catalog them)
Something I always wanted to have, though, was a map that would let people report:
Where the construction is
Which machines are in use
Whether there's a good view
Ideally, it would also let me search and filter based on those parameters, so if my kid wanted to just see a concrete mixer or a crane truck, we could find one.
Well, now that site exists, because I built it.
The trouble is, it's only any good if people actually use it and report construction sites! Please go take a look and if you know where there's a construction site, add it -- if you don't, that's fine, just reblog and spread the word? If it starts to get some uptake, I might spring for a real URL, but right now I just want to prove the concept. You like concepts, right?
I also added a layer for a few cities that populates all the construction permit data they publish, filterable by cost: if you filter down to like $1000, you see everybody's bathroom remodel, which isn't very useful, but if you go the other direction and see the $200M+ permits, you can probably infer there's serious machinery working on a skyscraper or something. Hell yeah??

"pink Himalayan sea salt" bestie it's been hundreds of millions of years since any kind of sea was involved in the Himalayas I think at this point we have to admit that is rock salt
