My grandfather was an amateur radio hobbyist, who was a part of the Norwegian resistance movement during WW2, and helped pass on coded messages for the sabotage of the German production of heavy water for a nuclear bomb.

This is him and my grandma ♥️

A metrologist! I still find the weather and climate fascinating, and love wasting time on websites like Weather spark and Windy.

Honestly, I joined beehaw knowing that the admins would run it like a benevolent dictatorship. It's their instance, their servers, their time and effort, and I respect that.

you will enjoy what we are imposing, period

Yep, if you want to make your own community your own way, there's plenty of other instances that offer that.

Yeah exactly, which is why I've kept my mouth shut, but I did think Internet strangers might appreciate the humor.

Out of curiosity I googled "lesbian geologists," and while I didn't find an organization or anything, it did lead me to Ammonite, a 2020 film about the first female paleontologist Mary Anning. The film depicts her in a lesbian relationship, and although there's no historical basis, there's also no evidence of her ever being in a heterosexual relationship, leaving it open to question.

I thought it an interesting coincidence that I've just recently finished reading Ammonite, an excellent book by Nicola Griffith about a planet where a virus has wiped out all men, and the exploration of the women-only society that then developed over the centuries.

One small suggestion: shuffle the existing communities slightly, from

-Animals and Pets

-Nature and Gardening

to

-Pets

-Animals and Nature

-Gardening

Thanks for taking community feedback!

Yep! Most all seeds contain everything they need to get started within their seed coat, and any fruit they were within is to encourage animals to eat, and thereby transport them.

That belly is a trap! All fuzzy and soft, just asking to be petted

The little moth buddy I posted about was really fun. There's been a surprising amount of interesting bugs where I've been working the past couple weeks, last night one of my coworkers spotted something that looked like a cross between a spider and a cricket, which I've yet to be able to identify.

Sounds like a good time to me!

I agree. I'm not one of the silly purists that populate r/grilledcheese, other ingredients can go great in a grilled cheese, as long as the cheese is still the star of the show.

Hah! You must broaden your horizons beyond a basic red tomato.
