How the frick does a demisexual actually find a partner? :-/ I have . . . no clue. Literally everyone is taken in the interest-based groups I go to but singles groups are all just icky dating and hookup culture. Tired of being alone.

Also someone keeps reposting all my posts and I can't see who it is, it's starting to creep me out.

My latest blog post on Podura aquatica, the water springtail is finally done! Check it out below…

My to-do list on Habitica is 22 items long, starting to get ridiculous I guess I need to stop adding new things until I finish the ones I have 😩

I love the lil shrimpies

Shriiiimps! Finally another aquarium themed piece since I really love aquatic critters. Maybe I can have a shrimp tank again someday in the future… which one is your fav shrimp?

The rarest of the rare! This holy-grail dream fish is a larval-stage #monkfish, aka #goosefish. Shot in the wild, using scuba, while diving at night over water several thousand feet deep, several miles offshore from Kumejima, Okinawa. #larvalfish #blackwater #gug #deepseafish

Also speaking of being the bug person here is a bug I saw today. Good friend.

One of the folks at the craft meetup gave this to me, I love that I've become The Bug Person of the group

Josef Riedel (1816–1894) styled himself ‘Glass King of the Iser Mountains.’ He owned 8 Czech & Austrian glassworks where his teams innovated colors & shapes. One invention was named "Annagelb" for his wife, Anna, & involved adding uranium ores from local silver mines. He invented URANIUM GLASS.

Looking for free videos to help teach adult students ESL and man. I feel like free educational videos always have the creepiest clipart to ever walk this earth

Hey, quick question. This thumbnail looks reeeeeally AI-generated to me. Does anyone else agree? It's a disappointment 'cause I follow this dude for isopod stuff. Don't think I will anymore, though honestly his videos have been kind of annoying me lately for other reasons too.

I don't drink much bc I lived with a recovering alcoholic so it's very rude to do so, but now that they're gone I can have myself a lil treat every now and then

Wowwww. Needed to renew Word on my old laptop so I could use it to help teach technology literacy to a student and modern Word really makes me want to barf repeatedly

Repeat after me: LLMs are not AI

People refuse to acknowledge how an LLM actually works, and insist on assigning meaning and understanding to its output. There is no meaning, and the system understands neither the user’s question nor its own “response.”

Like. There is a way forward without giving into this shit and then seeing everything you rely on collapse when the bubble bursts. procreate.com/ai

Every time someone posts about being disappointed that a game or app has AI code in it there are comments to the effect of “yea that’s unfortunate but everything will at this point” and like No? It won’t if people actually push back? The fuck is with all the advanced compliance lmao

If I can talk about weird shit for a minute, it was weird to hear the name "Steven Pinker" in connection to the files. I have a BA in psychology and I definitely remember that name in our textbooks. I don't really remember much about it, though, that degree was quite a while ago for me.
