Another creation off the loom. A different pattern which gives differing ribbed looking effect depending on which side you view it from. It rainbows down the length, and the ends in brown one side has 6 rows and other side 19. No one is truly free until we all free. It’s a bit shy of 5 feet, at 58#weaving #art #fiber #fiberArt #pride #rainbow #handmade

New creation off the loom. The zigzag is in brown for inclusivity as we are all woven together. *FOR SALE* to raise some money for a trans friend of mine. All will go to her. I'm not sure how to price this, but it should be at least $150 for materials & time, so I think I will leave it at that and #weaving #fiberArt #rainbow #pride #craft #yarn

Lovely Hookworm I have seen conjecture that it is only text, but the examples given had text on images. We need actual clarity from iNaturalist, I outlined what I think we all want to know here (shit, it keeps changing where on the page the link goes to....i don't know how to get a permalink to my comment): forum.inaturalist.org/t/what-is-this-inaturalist-and-generative-ai/66140/153

Well...I cannot say I am pleased about iNaturalist partnering with Google to develop GenAI. While what iNat would like to do would be incredibly helpful, it can be done by other means (namely, uh, volunteer or employed actual experts?). My main concerns are simple, and yet, unaddressed by the iNatur (If you want to see their announcement, www.inaturalist.org/posts/113184-inaturalist-receives-grant-to-improve-species-suggestions ) #nature #iNat #iNaturalist #AI #google #community #communityScience #science #biology #ecology #cave #photography

Total random and off topic for my usual posts... Question for all you creatives and artists and jewelry types out there...I am allergic to gold & silver, but I love so many ring designs that are made in those materials. I need a surgical/medical grade stainless steel, titanium, carbon fiber...you #art #design #jewelry #creative #allergies #metal #sculpture

Historic Entrance of Mammoth Cave. (Please boost if you are in the US!) ~~ Do you agree that public lands need to stay just that: PUBLIC? Then contact your reps & congressfolk now, because they are voting to start selling off public lands to the highest bidder. At midnight on Tuesday, May 6, the #LandBack would be better, but let's at least not fucking sell it to private interests!) #cave #caves #forest #NationalPark #publicLand #action #nature #hiking #outdoors #water #waterfall #silentSunday #travel #getOutside #altText #utah #nevada #zion

Exuberant Dingo Petite Bass i dunno but i still have stuff i keep meaning to have tailered and not done it. When i went to a proper shoe repairman they fixed my boots for $10. Four years later still good.

BOOST THIS & TAKE ACTION! Last night, a vote was rushed through to sell off public lands in Utah & Nevada. This budget line was approved to sell off public National Park land in Utah and Nevada to highest bidder. It's starting folks. And one of the Democratic senators from California even voted in www.eastcountymagazine.org/trump-administration-wants-sell-federal-lands-slashes-funding-forest-and-park-services #resist #parks #nature #nationalParks #publicLand #outdoors #environment #ecology #recreation #hiking #utah #nevada #travel #california #takeAction and like we have been saying #LandBack so it remains safe!

I really liked this tactile exhibit at Mammoth Cave National Park. It shows cave life to scale with a penny, and the models are really well done in 3D. The penny was sized to make the critter model display well, so even the tiny amphipod is tactically interesting even though the penny is mega-oversi#cave #life #nature #display #education #science #communication #accessibility
