The kids are not playing dumb. They are playing WHITE

like so many of you

Where you think your REFUSAL to hold anybody accountable for harming Black/ Queer / POOR

you need to watch these kids BRAG about how easy it was to play you

because you can’t talk about WHY THE FUCK IT WORKED

You don’t get it… they are white boys. They should do crimes and make huge mistakes on purpose and skate away to their next big job unblemished. Like rapey swimmers and gropey comedians 🙄

Thank you! The process itself was not hard. I just didn’t know how detailed to write the descriptions

Don’t use AI.
I will interrogate you — I mean, investigatively interview you — and know within minutes what you understand, what you don’t, and what you believe you do. Without your gadgets, your brain will be a mound of easily cubed tofu.
Honor your 3.7 billion years of evolution.
Don’t be tofu.

Oh. I wasn’t aware. I can change that on iNat, I’m sure. I’ll see if I can batch edit when I’m at my laptop next. When I uploaded, what was difficult was coming up with captions and tags for each. Maybe going to articles and adding pix directly there is easier?

“You can’t hide” will apply to them at a trial some day

They are all on iNat and can be used for Wikipedia, I think. CC by, non commercial.

I uploaded a ton after you asked me a while back.

A mostly white moth with dark gray dots and wavy brown lines between the dots.

Pycnarmon cribrata. Stylish polkadots and stripes. 🌱🌿

A moth with green around the edges of the wings and a brown band in the middle of the wings and across the body.

A green and brown moth, Pyrochlora motilonia 🌱

A small brown moth. It has a very furry thorax with tufts down its back. The legs are also very furry. The wings have dark brown markings and one little white wavy line in the middle.

A furry moth. They are not hairs but long scales. Still, the effect is fur-like and very beautiful. Genus Euclea 🌱

Imagine if Netflix decided to release those 8 episode shows as a single 8 hour monstrosity. People would quit watching. I’ve thought about this for so long. The intimidation of the time commitment is real.

Who would have predicted this? I mean…

I taught at a private school for a year. I left when they decided to open in person during Covid to win students from public schools. Their graduates were this kind of person. I was never happier to leave a job.

We used ChatGPT to kill grants in this country, and to kill schoolgirls in Iran.

A brown moth with darker gray wavy lines across the wings. The legs are very furry.

This year I’ve been photographing lots of moths. In Colombia, there are so many that my field guide has disclaimers about how incomplete it is. Anyway. I’m stating a thread to share moths for the rest of 2026. Here’s the first one. Enjoy! 🌱

A planthopper. It looks like a piece torn off a leaf. It is green with a network of veins and tiny pink legs

Not a leaf 🌿🌱

I hope it hurts. A lot.

Democracy dies with Florsheims

A butterfly still standing on its empty chrysalis. The wings are orange with black veins.

Tonight I got to watch an Actinote emerging from its chrysalis. Better than any sporting event

I hope he’s hungry some day. Really hungry. And cold. And nobody gives him a hand.

Ummm…

This is one reason why everyone with a bar license should be lining up to do pro bono habeas petitions for detainees right now.

I know so many people who are doing this. A few hours of training and you will save lives and families.

Honestly, I am absolutely disgusted by academics suggesting that AI can do the reading and writing for you. At a certain point, what you're bragging about is fraud. And in a broader sense, what you're contributing to is the erosion of knowledge and the destruction of trust in academic publishing.

I have dense ones PLUS scar tissue from mastitis. I’m going in for a mammogram tomorrow and I know I’ll have extra stuff done and technicians will be wringing their hands and giving me the look. It’s scary even though it’s happened every single mammogram I’ve ever had.

If Bellingcat has confirmed this, then surely the Pentagon knows it hit the girls’ school too — and is simply lying to us about that fact right now.

This should be unacceptable in a thousand different ways.

Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce
Special orders don't upset us
All we ask is that you let us serve it your way

Dorsal view of the moth, wings outstretched to show the abdomen. The whole moth is furry, green, brown, and black in wavy designs that look like overlapping layers of lichen and moss.

Here’s the rest of the moth, meant to blend in with mossy tree trunks here in the cloud forest. 🌱

A moth looking over the edge of a leaf, facing the camera. It is furry green with black eyes. The eyes are reflecting my flashlight. The antennae are very large, light orange, shaped like rabbit ears but like combs with a spine and long teeth

Timeline cleanse. There are beautiful critters everywhere.

Quentalia intranea, a moth with excellet antennae. Its wingspan is about 1.8cm 🌱
