Having Archer playing while sleepily scrolling/reading things is to suddenly be jerked back to wakefulness by some absolutely ridiculous lines every minute or two

Nearly every time I'm at my absolute favorite place in Florida, I watch someone pull into the lot, pause for a minute, then drive off like they were underwhelmed by what they see. And I smile a little.

The way these people talk about online interaction *online* just tells me they aren't serious people. Like they just drift online and say shit for an ego/brand boost but hide behind "none of this matters" when it's convenient, to weasel out of consequences, etc.

I have had the entire world opened up for me by being exposed to countless marginalized communities that I’d otherwise had very little opportunity to meet and learn from IRL. But I also had to do that *with intention*.

I can't stand that take. It's projection. People like (and including) you have measurably (and immeasurably) helped me grow from a sheltered hyper-conservative young adult to where I am today. You most certainly have accomplished things in this space. 💙

It’s funny cause people tell me *all the time* how they’ve learned from me and found community through my posts and been uplifted and connected to others and gotten tools to recognize and fight hate and felt less alone in the world. But I guess fuck that right? I’m not accomplishing anything.

Phidippus workmani lass, grooming after finishing off a very large grasshopper 💛 This species is the first Phidippus I ever saw. They're endemic to Florida and Georgia and are always a treat to see in the savannah habitat they seem to love. Gold Lumps. 🌿 🕷️ 🧪

The public accusations out about Neil Gaiman may or may not just be bullets fired from a TERF-gun, but the immediate responses of decidedly not TERF's saying "Good, it's finally out, it's been in whisper networks for years that this guy is a creep" tells me there's fire to this smoke.

The most mindblowing part to me is that there's apparently new and undescribed jumping spider species to be found in Florida. I figured Florida would have been well-picked over by now, particularly in regard to jumping spiders, and considering the North American expert resides here!

I usually default to iNaturalist because I'm usually posting from my phone and bugguide.net isn't exactly mobile optimized. But I'll post things which seem relatively "important" to both.

I usually only get that quick of a response the rare times I post birds to iNaturalist.
Though Jeong Yoo was less than a minute on this one, without being tagged: www.inaturalist.org/observations...
He's been ridiculously quick on some of the tiny wasps I've posted
