DO NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT “AI” YOU MAKE ME LONG FOR THE SWEET EMBRACE OF DEATH I am printing these out as coasters and distributing them around the university https://www.jwz.org/blog/2026/08/do-not-talk-to-me-about-ai/

Gotta love Fleabane / Cedowydd Ell (Pulicaria dysenterica) #BloomScrolling #NativePlants #HopeGarden #WildlifeGardening

@Nonilex@masto.ai thank you for this thread. Met one of my elected representatives last night, they're very keen on learning about digital sovereignty, I said I'd offer some suggested reading

@asokel@ohai.social maybe eat more?

Margaret Roach is one of my gardening heroes. She has lovely online workshop *tomorrow* (Thursday) about #NativePlants, cultivars and nativars, well worth a look: Nature’s super-power is diversity — you can see it in action even within a “wild-type” population of Hepatica americana (above), showing off some of the depth of the genetic range within its tiny blooms. Look at that breadth of color! So what happens when we humans tinker with the genetics, nudging all the flowers to be one shade, maybe ... or larger, or later-blooming? And how are the pollinators and other beneficial insects who rely on those plants impacted by our creation of cultivars and selections? These are important questions for gardeners who desire both beauty and positive ecological impact. I've invited Joseph Tychonievich to help us answer them. Come discover the hidden differences between straight species, wild-types, cultivars, nativars, selections, and ecotypes. Last Chance: "The cultivar conundrum" will be taught live on Zoom tomorrow (Thursday, January 29th) from 1-2:30 pm Eastern. https://margaretroach.podia.com/winter-class-series #gardening

@asokel@ohai.social how do you feel?

@jessamyn@glammr.us new Murderbot?! Thank you for the heads-up, and that sounds like a *civilised* town

@TCMuffin thank you. There will be more to come -- I'm currently working on Ceredigion Nature Partnership website (my day job) and hope to get latest videos on automatically somehow https://naturceredigion.cymru

@alice this is so cool, thank you! I don't know why but I am very attracted to lock picking. It's like someone saying "don't do this" to a toddler. Don't suppose you have made any online courses?

@_elena Count me in. I work for local govt and with national govt, so very keen to promote this. Using Fediverse ad hoc for specific projects at moment @aral

@floridamarx@mastodon.social "Israel has been an apartheid, settler-colonial, genocidal project since 1947. It was built on stolen land, stolen labor, and stolen lives. It has never stopped being that." I see a pattern…
