This came out so well!!

I do not need my thoughtful and researched comments and identification discussions to be scraped without my consent or compensation for generative AI tools. No one asked for this.

Lily M @liliumnature.bsky.social · Jun 10

Really really bad move @inaturalist.bsky.social. At the very least users should need to opt-in to this and the lack of transparency is telling. I don't want to have to delete my iNat account but I refuse to be part of this the way it is currently looking.

petnoodle @petnoodle.bsky.social · Jun 10

@inaturalist.bsky.social please explain what is being referred to here? What does "enhance[ing] biodiversity data by converting thousands of identification remarks into natural language explanations" mean. Won't that introduce a lot of nonsense into what is now an imperfect but important tool? 🌿 1/2

🚨 The US House of Reps have now PASSED their budget bill that includes a BAN on Gender Affirming Care for Medicaid for ALL AGES.

This bill now goes to the Senate where it’s likely to pass.

Lady beetles would be super useful, I've wanted a good guide or key for them for years, but from what I know about them I can imagine that would be a ton of effort

help I'm obsessed with the warring mother robins who unhappily share a nest

facebook post with a collection of photos and video of a huge clutch of robin eggs and two adult robins squished together in the same nest:
"I’ve had robins on my porch every year. This year has been quite interesting! On Sunday I found two eggs in the nest and by Tuesday afternoon there were 8 eggs! I had never seen that many. So I did a little bit of research and found out that 8 eggs means they were likely laid by two different females. So I set up a camera to see what would happen. And much to my surprise there are two females caring for the eggs. They are NOT happy to be sharing the nest. But they are stubborn and neither mother is willing to leave her eggs. I read that usually the robins are so territorial that one mother will leave. During the day they kick each other out of the nest taking turns sitting on the eggs. Then at night they both have such a strong instinct to sit on the eggs all night that they BOTH sit on the nest. One bird sits on the other. They fight and peck at each other constantly! Although they seem to have come to some sort of understanding and tolerate each other much better now. Here are some pictures and videos of these very stubborn and devoted mother robins. I can tell them apart by their markings by their eyes. And I can tell they are both females by the way the mothers settle onto the eggs and cover them with their brood patch.
Have you ever seen two females sit on the nest at the same time!?
St Thomas, Ontario Canada May 4, 2025"

My new video, Notes on Vanishing, is out now.

I keep returning to an unthinkable question: is it time for trans people to make ourselves disappear?

Enjoy 🌃
