Hi new followers (bots and real people alike 😝). I'm not here to collect followers but it'll take me some time to go through and follow back people with shared interests etc. In the meantime here's a nice bird ✌🏽

Expect more birds, science, politics and occasional shitposting :)
A Double-crested Cormorantβ€”a variably black and glossy birdβ€”with it's wings held open, and its long neck looped around so it can preen its wing feathers.

Why did I only just find out that that there are water striders that live IN (ON!!) THE OPEN OCEAN? πŸ§ͺ

OCEAN STRIDERS!!
Why did only one genus of insects, Halobates, take to the high seas?
Oceans cover over 70% of the earth’s surface and house a dizzying array of organisms, including five species of the peppercorn-sized ocean-skater Halobates, which live exclusively at the ocean surface...

this "passion tax" appears all over the place & should be talked about more. you see it in book stores and game stores all the time

excitement for particular work is constantly weaponized to depress wages & pit workers against each other
screenshot of a paragraph from op's linked article Claudy pointed to what he calls the β€œpassion tax.” Game workers, he said, often get paid less than their tech industry counterparts because they’re passionate about what they do, and passion can be taken advantage of. Microsoft is a tech company, making discrepancies all the more arbitrary.
