I wrote up my thoughts on #Picotron and why I've been excited about it.

Then I threw the lines into Photoshop, applied the bucket tool, and ... good enough!

One of the focuses of the recent Mexico biodiversity expedition was finding these interesting Ditmars' horned lizards. I found the first one, of only two found on the entire trip. This was not a range extension, per se, but more of an infill between known ranges in the sky island region of northern Sonora.
There is a tradition that you have to kiss the first one you find and then a bottle of tequila is opened for the occasion. Out of four trips, this was the first one I ever found.
They are fascinating little creatures. Their main predators are ravens and small canids like coyotes and foxes, so they are not particularly afraid of large animals like us or cows or deer. They are quite docile and even a wild one will take a grasshopper offered to it without trying to run away.
Alt text (because the site keeps crashing): first photo is a small horned lizard sitting in the palm of my hand. Second photo is me fake-kissing the same lizard while holding it.

On a recent stream I talked at length about motivation with gamedev, and I decided to put it on Youtube after being prompted to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgAJFA32pks
I hope people find it helpful!

Don't do this, people. It helps no one and if anything pushes people away from our community.

have you ever thought about how hostile our system is towards the simple act of learning?
โyou have to learnโ they say, sending people to school and university, where they learn how to pass tests and have jobs, but not much about the actual field because youโre too stressed about passing tests and qualifying for jobs.
once upon a time, i went to university to learnโฆ all i got was stress.
now i am comfortably reading and watching my way through a university course online (thanks MIT) and i learn so much more than i ever did at uni. i can stop and take a couple of days to understand all the details. i can take as long as i want to look up adjacent topics and backgrounds and conclusions. i can look into different books, watch a couple youtube videos, get sidetracked. in the end, i have a chance to actually deeply understand whatโs being taught, in the way that i never could when i was stressed for time and had to do 6 courses like that at the same time and pass an arbitrary test at the end, a test that doesnโt check for understanding but for how accurately you can do calculations and recall numbers and formulas in a short amount of time and under pressure
where did we go so wrong?

"Well, I just don't think we should be exposing youth to this experimental medical procedure", they say of my medical regime, which has been performed in western countries in basically its current form since 1965, and before that is known to have been performed at the Institut fรผr Sexualwissenschaft in the 1920s until the Nazis stopped it, and before that is attested in ambiguous accounts to have probably been performed in ancient Greece via unknown herbal analogues
