As a STEM tiktok content creator, specifically one who focuses on zoology, enviornmental science, and entomology, I’m going to say something and I fear it’s going to make a number of you upset.
I dare not post this to my TikTok page because face it - that app has no social comprehension or common sense - but something I’ve noticed over the years is this strange microaggression often towards black people in my comments that may, to many, go unnoticed; but I see it.
To suggest that the study and discipline of zoology and entomology is explicitly a “white people” activity is racist. And to follow up your comments saying that black people would do the “sensible thing” and “kill something” they don’t like or understand is aggressively even more so.
I shame and delete these comments whenever I get them, but I have gotten them for years and despite what I say it’s like people still can’t grasp how hurtful and bigoted this “joke” is. Someone tried telling me today “don’t worry man there’s just an account on here who makes videos of white people identifying the scientific names of animals and a black man screams and runs away from them” so you’re laughing at a harmful black caricature. that’s what you’re telling me. curious
as if racism against people of color ESPECIALLY black scientists isn’t prevalent enough you have this shit to worry about being seen as funny or acceptable. absolutely insane
its shat fuck friday
i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.
there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.
anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.
A Better World - create an alternate history timeline
Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game
Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet
Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games
Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones
Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy
ZenGM - simulate sports
Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi
IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)
Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface
The Cafe & Diner - mystery game
The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game
Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions
Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game
Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game
Miniconomy - player driven economy game
Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes
BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators
Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil
Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.
if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.
amyways some images i made a bit ago to be used in your melic appreciation posts . at your leisure
In the Olympic exclusion Zone. Straight up “driving it”. And by “it”, haha, let’s justr say. My remnant
If you think about it…. the acronym KYS isn’t saying “kill yourself,” it’s saying Kill Your Self. Three words. As in, kill the concept of the “Self” - your consciousness’s perception that it is an individual, that it has one meaningful isolated identity that is “you,” that it is not but a droplet in the grand ocean of interconnected souls of all living beings in this universe. I think this is beautiful. Embrace ego death and become one with everything. Everyone should KYS
i actually think i am never going to be over orphan black: echos getting cancelled less than a month after the final episode dropped. with so much potential. and . and. yeah i listened to the song change by big thief what about it.

Metric Paper Wasp (Polistes metricus), taken April 18, 2025, in Georgia, US
A beautiful, sleek wasp in the afternoon sun! This individual was an extremely good sport and let me get in very close for photos! Typically, paper wasps are a bit skittish and prefer to keep their distance, but this one just seemed curious. It's always a good day when a wasp stops buzzing around and lets me get some nice pictures! They're usually so busy that it's impossible to get anything!
you will not replace me
Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime.
Super inspired by @weevildead 's michael painting! I hesitate to post this bc it was super experimental, and i hate the hair and how unblended the edges are w the obvious layers and weird blurring and stray marks...but idc im posting it.

SHITTY JUNE WIP FOR 4/13 IN CASE THE FINAL VERSION ISNT DONE BEFORE THIS BEAUTIFUL HOLIDAY IS OVER
Gemma Scout, on the phone with her bank: Yes I’m just trying to reopen my account. ‘Marked as deceased’ yes I know, but I’m not dead. Yes I know my husband sent you my death certificate. My death was faked in a really elaborate scheme so—no, not by me. Look just turn on CNN. I’m all over the news. It’ll—'can I come in with my husband?' No, I can’t. He’s dead now. Well maybe not dead. But he’s probably never coming back alive. They can’t get his innie in the elevator. Yes they tried that. But he sticks his arms and legs out real wide like a cat so they can’t get him in the elevator.”
