Happy October 19th to those who imagine it

Wait. Crows really vote to make group decisions or did you make a joke I didn't get?

Well I was about to say yes and link the article but apparently I misremembered the study and it was actually on Jackdaws, which are in the corvid family but not technically crows. Embarrassing!

If you have been on the internet too long like I have, you’ll know that this is actually a hilarious mistake for me to have made because there was a huge drama on reddit like a decade ago that revolved around a biologist specifically ranting about the difference between jackdaws and crows, which spawned a memorable copypasta that was all anyone would post whenever these birds came up for like a year. I still see it from time to time especially in my bio circles.

That’s not really relevant but it’s just kinda funny. Take-home point; I am stupid but corvids are smart 😅

I wish more people online knew what context and nuance is

"You shouldn't nail rats to strangers."

"Oh so your saying nailing is always wrong even if i'm making a house?"

"No i'm saying you shouldn't nail rats to strangers."

Currently reading the story about the lady who was in a relationship with a Wolverine RP account and thought it was the real Hugh Jackman 🤓

Was reminded of the Dogs in Elk story so I wanted to preserve a little slice of internet history so I made an A7 softcover book of it.

Jacket is a red cardstock shot with gold (maybe I should glue it down?) and art card as the base covers. Had fun finding public domain images of said dogs to manip and lean into the LOL.

was about to get really mad that this scientific article my cousin shared doesn’t mention the omegaverse until i realized….

this scientific paper literally predates the concept of omegaverse

huh. why did i never know that the supernatural fandom started omegaverse.

Here’s the bad news: there never was another universal town square for science fiction. The community splintered across many different platforms. While that was a real loss, it wasn’t an unmitigated loss. Those communities incubated all kinds of writers and readers who found the SFRT inhospitable or overwhelming.

But the other reason the community never recohered is that we kept trusting other businesses to own those communities, and they kept betraying our trust. Prodigy wanted us to “stop talking to each other and start buying things.” Livejournal purged its queers.

The most successful successor to GEnie SFRT is Archive of Our Own (AO3), a freewheeling, welcoming, volunteer-run, nonprofit fanfic site with a gaggle of pro-bono lawyers and a deep bench of community specialists and technologists.

- When the Town Square Shatters: Once again, science fiction fandom shows us how to use the internet.

I think it's funny and cool when this happens online

Person 1: Wouldn't it be wacky if (enter wacky situation here) happened?

Person 2: Actually (enter wacky situation here) actually did happen.

Person 1: Wait really!?
