G! (spoopy edition)

I was a little scared mine would want to see it, NGL 😅

I’ve mentioned this before, but on time we had a troll influx, a lot of them posted AI, so I saw a lot of their posts while doing @aimod.social labeling.

Lots of accounts with nasty replies to “blocked post” abandoned their accounts within weeks and even days. The non-blocked ones kept trolling.

But promotion is a skill that can be learned! (I just... Uh, decided I don't like worrying about readership because I'm old and tired. 😅😅😅)

I think you're approaching this in a healthy way, but please don't let it affect your self esteem or anything if it never takes off - I'm not convinced that there's a "special something", I think some people are just better at marketing themselves than you and I are. 😅

I think it's in there already!

The innocence test says I'm 58% corrupted and assumes I'm in my 20s

😈🤘

What if I did some kind of AMA and wrote down the results in a zine
💡

I quit doing patreon not entirely because of this, but I can't say it didn't cross my mind 😅

In Eurasia Blackbird is a kind of thrush. In Australia a magpie is a kind of butcher bird (artamidae), which is not the same as a Butcher bird (a shrike - Laniidae), which is also not the same as a bunch of other things with "shrike" in their name. XD

Blackbird is one of those generalized words that colloquially means what it sounds like, but scientifically doesn't tell you anything. XD

#PPZF #PikesPeakZineFest is tomorrow! I have, once again, not managed to create a new zine this year. 🙃

Blackbirds (North America) are icterids, not corvids, so they aren't on that hyper-intelligent lineage... But yeah, it's so annoying xD

I went with artists who I've consistently liked over time (even if there are dozens more I could include), I've been listening to Coheed since their 1st album!

Actually one of the weirdest things about me is that even after travelling all over the world I still dislike chilis/peppers.

Define your music taste in eight artists

- Coheed & Cambria
- Silversun Pickups
- Foster the People
- Jukebox the Ghost
- Alt-J
- My Chemical Romance
- Metric
- Pendulum

... Nope, this barely scratches the surface, sorry, I failed at the meme. XD

Yeah, I've had a hydroponic thing too - I mainly used it to grow greens for the rabbit!

Haha, I have done this before!

Ability is key word here. My back can't handle gardening work. XD

The goal of conservation should not be to return the world to primeval depopulated wilderness but to build and maintain sustainable relationships with the world.

Whatever, I'm not having daily arguments with trolls on here and I have more followers than I did on twitter because I got here early and I know how to follow and interact with people! Everybody wants numbers without putting in the work of hanging out here or something, idk.

'It lives underground and is fabulous': The race to save the world's rarest orchid The world's most mysterious and elusive orchid lives underground in Australia. Scientists are trying to rescue this botanic marvel from going completely extinct.

Did you know that there's an orchid that grows, and flowers, completely underground? It requires the help of a particular bush and fungi to get nutrients.

And it's become very hard to find in the wild.

I've always done this lol

I'm not against hunting for food/population control, but I am against trophy hunting.

Advertising CAN be used benevolently to inform people of things like community events, PSAs, etc., but yeah, you're not wrong either.

This, unfortunately. 😮‍💨

Too late, I was already getting pelted with hailstones, that's why I didn't put the cart away. 😭

Exactly.

Or at least not legal to drive without a special license/within city limits.
