we've started using github at work so now copilot is commenting on PRs

the one i'm reviewing now has a suggestion to add a missing method because apparently copilot can't detect that it's defined on the class's parent

A brown and light blue splotchy cuttlefish hangs out next to a net

Got in a staring contest today. Me & @invertebabe.bsky.social vs the cuttlefish.

We went snorkeling at Sesoko beach in Okinawa and saw 12(!!!!) cuttlefish. Absolutely amazing.

A tiny arachnid with a gold body and brick-reddish claws. It is standing on bark that looks like rough sandpaper.

Pseudoscorpions are small arachnids that are often overlooked. They prey on clothes moth larvae, carpet beetle larvae, booklice, ants, mites, and small flies. Pseudoscorpions will sometimes hitch rides to new locations on other insects. #Arachtober

And here is my new favorite arachnid. She's a Solifugid, or wind scorpion, and is busy working on making a burrow for herself. When hunting, these animals move rapidly and tap their pedipalps on the ground to sense prey. #Arachtober

Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.

A big ass spider with long legs stands on a blade of grass shaped leaf (but that leaf is like 2 inches across)

Once again, spiders are out here modeling for me.

Shaw!

A pink hermit crab is standing on a green leaf and looks at the camera with their legs stretched out just like, hermit crab modeling. She looks fucking stunning, who taught her to model like that??

You ever meet an animal who just naturally knows their best angles?

I took this and literally out loud said “DAMN, you look great”. And you know she knows it.

Single panel comic drawn in pen with crosshatch shading; in the panel I'm sitting at a table with a coffee mug that has a Sagittarius symbol on it (to match the Aries mug I have in Minnesota); I'm drawing in my sketchbook and looking over at two black shiba inu dogs. There's a caption that says "Visiting my friend out of state," and one of the dogs has a single speech bubble that says "Who is lady? Hello strange lady." Beneath the comic is my signature (Kat Baumann), today's date (10-26-2025) and the time I spent drawing this (40 minutes)

Psyching myself up to try to paint this with watercolors and gouache 😅

A skeletal figure floats off the ground, wrapped in a cape made of autumn leaves. It wields a scythe adorned with a harvest of gourds.

jane goodall releasing a video of her listing the people she dislikes and ending with a vague message of hope is so iconic. truly someone i aspire to model myself after

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The image is an X post by user Joshua Reed Eakle from 20 hours ago, stating: "The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens. Few understand this." The post includes a profile picture and a verified badge.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

A single-panel comic drawn in pen with inkwash shading: the comic features me (a white lady with long, dark, wavy hair and round glasses) and my two cats, all drawn in the cartooning style of Jim Davis, author and artist of the Garfield comic. I am drawn similarly to the character "Liz," with a round, bulbous head and egg-shaped eyes, and I'm holding my longhair cat Margo who is drawn very similarly to the character Nermal, and she's looking up at me with angry eyes. Next to us, standing on my closed sketchbook is my shorthair cat Egg Noodle, who is drawn like Garfield himself and doing that pose where his head is tilted all the way back with one hand in the air and the other grabbing Margo's tail. There are little hearts floating next to his head, and since he already looks quite a lot like Garfield, he's got a legible name tag hanging from his collar that says "EGG NOODLE." The caption in the comic is a hand-drawn variation of the "Copper Black" font (the font that Garfield's title is often presented in), and says "Dressing my comic up as other comics." Beneath the comic is my signature (Kat Baumann), today's date (10-1-2025) and the time I spent drawing this (50 minutes)
