I'm always struck by how uncanny the images from space missions can look: the precision of the movements and the flatness of some textures

I signed a thousand books today. Almost all of them were ones I wrote!

Lizardite, a green serpentine-subgroup mineral is surprisingly not named for lizards, but for The Lizard, in Cornwall, also strangely not named for lizards but rather for “Lys Ardh” the Cornish High Court.
I will give Rhodochrosite the art vote. It does appear in jewelry, but really it’s for strictly aesthetic “forbidden bacon” reasons. I mean look at it! #MinCup23
I think part of the reason I favor integrative models in biology is that the way I've learned to understand complex things is through syntactically complex linked structures like program code that, in a (somewhat loose) sense, recapitulate the structure of what they describe. The way I've learned biology up to this point is by linking together, in my head, a variety of narrative descriptions and figures that I have to integrate in a loosely structured manner. An integrated, multi-level model (a schema, perhaps) seems like an effective alternative, though it may ultimately only be legible to the person who creates it.

Windows. You're the f*cking OS. You just do it, babe
I *hate* how #Microsoft actively coddles its users. They even redirect away from features explicitly asked for. It's so stupide.

Finally went through my footage of pink oyster mushrooms releasing their spores to find the very prettiest part.
I'm not sure if olfactory perception is weird or just the whole rest of the senses are weird
minor update. probably last for the year. I think the main family has moved. I did see another chick briefly, but stopped seeing it sooner than I think it could have developed to a fledgling. (Can adults fly their chicks elsewhere?) I saw a couple swallows just now leave, but couldn't tell if they were using the nest or just the shade
