All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.”

A writer I've worked with in the past is running a campaign to pay for his comic's illustration. He paid for the first issue himself and is trying to get $15k to cover the next 5 issues.

I'm also donating some chibis as a reward as well.

Please go support him if you can, or if you could boost this, I would really appreciate it ❤️

Today, May 22, is International Biodiversity Day. I feel that I need to bring attention to something very niche but troubling. TaxonWorks, a developer workbench for taxonomists, now uses generative AI for its branding as well as for at least some of its features.

TaxonWorks is a web-based developer workbench created by University of Illinois’ Species File Group, ostensibly designed to help out the taxonomists racing to document Earth's biodiversity before it's gone (gee, I wonder why). They receive at least some of their funding from NSF.

Taxonomy and art are deeply connected fields, and this new logo business really feels like a slap in the face to both. As recently as a few weeks ago, their Bluesky also stated that they use Claude to vibe-code new site features. I don't know anyone in the field who would ask them for this kind of thing. I can tell you I would not use them, and I don't know who would.

They talk a lot on their webpage about supporting the community as a “digital companion” and about how you can “spend more time researching, and less time with the mundane”. That “mundane” stuff is usually called science. It takes a long time to do it right, but that’s how people trust the results.

Hopefully the TaxonWorks team reconsiders this path. As it stands now, I would certainly not give them money or use their tools.

i wish people would stop romanticizing not eating breakfast and not getting enough sleep and being dependent on coffee to function and always being in a bad mood and treating yourself poorly because that behavior is very unhealthy for you

He’s right.

Hey can you guys reblog Cheeseburger so he can take a sunbeam nap on lots of blogs. No other reason I just want you guys to see him.

So, Cheeseburger died on November 21st after an unfairly short battle with an unfairly rare cancer that is rarely seen in cats. I only got to spend a month with him after his diagnosis, and losing him has been the greatest heartbreak of my entire life so far. He was my best friend and my soul cat, and he was there for me when I was completely alone, for twelve long years.

I made this transparent PNG the night he died in preparation for one of the many ways I was going to memorialize him--a surface rug in his likeness that I planned on laying directly in the line of his favourite sunbeam. And I uploaded that PNG here, because this is the website where people post their cats.

I was not expecting the reception I got. Many people have pointed out that this post has more reblogs than likes, and how insane that is in 2025 when reblog culture is at an all time low. I didn't even talk about the fact that Burger passed away in the original post, it wasn't a tearjerker reblog bait or anything like that. People just loved Burger that much, in the same way I fell in love with him at first sight. He was such an ugly kitten.

Anyways, it's really special to me that so many people have reblogged my best friend. I made this PNG to memorialize him in a completely different way, and you all wound up doing just that in ways I never even imagined.

Thank you. Wherever he is, I know the sun is shining.
