That sounds really nice!! Unfortunately it is hard to find such a space where people who are non-binary or have bodies that don’t fit into the gender binary can go to and feel welcome :'(

The person on the right looks dreadful at the thought of sex then?
And well, PhD students are in the lab at night working overtime and doing their research lol

Yeah, pretty cute! Especially with the expression it got on its face ❤️
Yeah, that’s how we did it for my PhD position as well. Someone still send an application anyways but they were clearly not fulfilling these hyper specific requirements so my prof didn’t have to invite them :)
Oh OK. Apparently I completely misread the expressions. I read the expression of the person on the right as surprise and dread. Like the person on the left said they want to do something more fun and the person on the right now remembered something not so fun or was offended by what the other person said…
Thanks for explaining anyways!
I’m serious, I really don’t get what this is about. That the research they’ve been doing isn’t fun? But why would this one scientist say this? Doesn’t make much sense and I clearly don’t get the joke. Maybe someone can explain?
Apart from what others commented on these being two entirely different species, there might be other factors at play as well.
Lianas and vines are pretty common and very diverse, especially in tropical forests. They are usually found as part of the upper canopy and if there is a tree fall, they manage to fill this gap pretty quickly. The trees grow more slowly, but will manage to establish themselves eventually, filling up that gap. But if you cut down an entire forest, trees have a much harder time to establish themselves because the whole ground is just covered in these fast growing lianas or vines. There are studies that look at exactly that, how lianas inhibit forest regrowth.
So, how overgrown with lianas or vines a certain habitat is, is very much dependent on the disturbance of this habitat.
I don’t get it…
Isn’t that a form of outmost torture in the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy series? That you have to experience how tiny and insignificant you truly are.
I’ve mentioned lemmy irl, too. Various times actually. Obviously no one knows it. But they usually don’t even know of mastodon or the fediverse either. And even reddit is just a name they’ve heard before. Everyone I know irl is on Instagram though.
Fitting username :P
Although tbh they look kinda cute!
What? Wolfspiders are pretty shy. When I try to take pictures of them from close up they always run away :( Also, they are not that big. Wiki says the largest are 35 mm in body size (1.38 in). And also they are no insects!!
I don’t know this plant, what species is it? Looks like Cyperaceae.
If you care about who is factually correct, then it’s person 2 and 4:
(Although person 3 is correct in that it is a carboxylic acid. It doesn’t exclude the other terms though.)
Well, I was indeed talking about the “regular wasps”. We’ve had dinner in garden etc, but they usually left us alone although their nest is in about 5 m distance. I guess the reason is that there are other food sources for them around due to a diverse vegetation.
Don’t forget about the beetle that has adaptations to slip through the intestinal tract of its predators and make it out through their anus ;)
Not sure how aggressive the wasps are in the US, but for Europe this isn’t really true. We have a nest of European wasps (similar to yellowjackets) in our garden and they really couldn’t care less about us humans. I can stand in their flight path and they just fly around me. But I’m also not as easily panicked as other people so that certainly helps…
I interpret It more like you are caressing your own work and being proud of it.
But it may be something to work towards to, isn’t it? Or at least get rid of these societal taboos?
Where I live and grew up (Germany), there isn’t that much of a taboo on nudity. I liked showering in my gym for example where there is only a shared (gendered) shower. Since starting my transition I wouldn’t feel welcome in any gendered shared public shower however. I would really like to stop hiding my body but instead feel more included among cis people. One day I hope…
I still prefer going swimming naked (if there are not too many people around) because it avoids gendered swim wear. At most lakes in Germany you can find people going swimming naked or with swim wear. Just coexisting :)
