Sometimes i be taking a banger picture

i honestly can't sing the praises of mistserver enough as a discord replacement from the streaming angle, at least 1:1 with another person (alongside using signal for voice/video/chat)

@scarlet_somnus was streaming via obs using the whip protocol to my server from the UK (my server is sitting on my desk in minnesota) and we were consistently at less than 1 second of latency with a good quality, stable stream

While oysters lack ears, they still can hear, using statocysts, their balance organ. Researchers have found playing the soundscape from a healthy oyster reef attracts larvae to settle! They have evolved to settle on their ancestors to build reefs, and sound is a useful cue of a good spot! https://phys.org/news/2022-10-sea-soundscapes-summon-thousands-baby.html #clamFacts

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

So I'm 1600$ away from being able to pay my rent. I'm trying to take care of a household of 6 people, only two of who can work right now, and with my longterm illness (I was bedridden for 16 months) I'm just not able to make rent this month, as a bunch of unexpected costs hit right in a row.

If you've can donate any amount at all, it'd really help. Thanks so much.

Readers, I cried 😂

PS: Here's hoping that publicity about this shakedown costs the publisher -- Walsh Medical Media -- more than $500.
