Something I've really noticed among institutional "responses" to generative technologies is that "DO NOT USE THIS TOOL, IT'S COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE" is fudamentally erased from any possibility of ever being an option Often paired with fatalist stuff like "this isn't going away"

Tomorrow's Invertober is the red sea urchin and I spent half an hour looking for photos of this juvenile who was so vivid in my mind I could swear I saw it this summer. It was actually from 2021. Little guy made quite the impression!

Barnacle went under the entryway console and found an old shoe. He dragged it out and now Crow is obsessed with the shoe. I should put it in the trash but I think I will let them worship the shoe a little longer.

There is a LOT of data in GBIF (1.9 billion records), but there is currently no way for Indigenous people to identify their data.
