I’m not a foxgirl
Or a catgirl.
I’m a tall ass batgirl.

The best thing about Linux is that it guarantees you will never have to wait on phone line for Windows customer support ever again 😂

Just enter your problem in your browser and it has probably already been solved and explained by a bunch of nerds on a forum somewhere who are getting impatient about solving such mundane problems for us less experienced folx.

But... Back before smartphones were invented (unless you count Blackberry) and my problem was no internet connectivity, solving problems was much harder lol.

My nervous Formica subsericea colony. These are black field ants. When I turn on the light they panic. A newly emerged worker (called a callow) cowers as her sisters stampede over her. She is newly emerged and not strong enough to run and freak out.

One of her sisters picks her up and she tucks her legs in like a pupae so she is easy to carry. In a few days she will be a lovely black like her older sisters.

The light gray ant picked up by a sister.

@loren Just read a post earlier today about somebody stealing a bass from their apartment, and I thought, "Must have been some good taxidermy." Was confused by the photo of the blue and white guitar.

I try to ease my guilt about keeping feeder roaches (dubias) by making them fancy meals. Here we have carrot peel rosettes topped with banana and garnished with bee pollen and pumpkin seeds.

You may be the 5th generation to live in a box as ant food but at least someone was willing to cook for you. Poor little goobers.

@futurebird Quite a beautiful meal!

Bats fly by grabbing the air in their their sensitive webbed fingers, feeling little eddies of air, they adjust instantaneously deftly, teasing their way through air currents.

I'm certain birds have a similar sense of the air, but there is something more relatable and easier to imagine about being the bat, using great webbed hands to surf & climb air columns.

We haven't even gotten to the part about the radar yet!

If I could spend a day as a creature it'd be an ant, but 2nd choice is a bat.

@futurebird Bat is up there for me too. I didn’t know this about bats, but I’m loving the mental imagery.
