I really don't like Grammarly. Even before this AI debacle, whenever I saw other students using it in HS/college, it always gave off the vibe of being a rich kid that was too good to just... proof read your essay or whatever. Rotten to the core I think!

A rodent hand, with four short fingers with curved claws. The short thumb has a dirty, awkwardly human-looking nail.

Reminder: most rodents have thumb nails rather than claws.

In fact the ancestor of all rodents probably had nails.

They probably evolved independently from our nails but for similar reasons: nails are good for dexterous food handling.

Marty’s photo of the day #4981: A group of Galapagos tortoises (also known as giant tortoises) that has stopped at a waterhole on their migration from the highlands to the lowlands. I really like the reflection on the water in this shot.

To me the fact that you basically can’t use the phone while charging it, and that it charges slower and is way more inefficient, makes it a SNOOZE

I can't lie, that looks mouth wateringly tasty.

this feels like at Thanksgiving when people complain about how turkey is gross and dry and under seasoned and just....don't blame the bird because you suck at cooking.

America’s teachers are working two jobs and barely getting by | CNN Business Ashley loves her day job teaching math, reading and science to fifth-graders in Washington. But like many other teachers, Ashley relies on a side hustle or two to get by.

The overwhelming majority of American public school teachers (71%) hold at least one side job, according to a new survey released today.

For real! They're pretty good in a vacuum. They're annoying when cities let them pile up/clog up but that's so fixable compared to awful car infrastructure.

Close up of black crab on lava rock. Crab is covered with green dots. Here legs have a beautiful orange on them and look wickedly sharp.

This is a nice crab photo, but the remarkable thing is that if you zoom way in in the eye, you can see my reflection. It's subtle, but there. I'll post a zoomed look in the comments. #nature #crustaceans #love #photography #Maui #nokings #marinelife #smallwonders #eastcoastkin

A photo of a watercolor notebook. The gouache painting is of a single fly agaric (red with white dots) mushroom. Below the notebook is a flat brush.

Liver's cheap because there's low demand for it. If everyone started eating it, it would become expensive. And even if everyone loved it, it's only recommended that you eat it once a week, or you risk vitamin A toxicity. Would be nice if the secretary of HEALTH knew that!

Colours and forms come and go as layers accumulate. Time, an essential variable, allows the painting to grow and find itself.
