I thought I had some of the top ten least sexy content on the whole internet. But... well what would I know.

Big Beautiful Ants In YOUR Area.

Someone reported my ant video on tumblr as "mature content"

aw come on what is with you people???

Maybe it was the "big beautiful ant" title?

But they also ding'ed my drawing of the container ship Ever Given?

I've asked for a "review" ... this is why I don't post over there very much anymore.

Well that right there is a title I have to say.

@scribblanitea

Sounds rough. Hope you feel a bit better soon.

FYI someone reported your post to #picaTheCat 's feline legal help line.

@skolima

She makes EVERYONE uncomfortable.

I still didn’t feel like I understood. Yet, I had to set the wasp right on one troubling matter.

“Madam Wasp? Please understand that the cavities in our teeth are not galls. They are nothing like galls.”
“Oh. what a pity. Teeth seem like such a nice safe place to put your child—“
“I promise you they are not at all suited to your needs.”
“Oh. Oh well then.” she huffed.

I was mostly confident the notion had abandoned her. But, I kept my mouth tightly closed.

“Its like how I’ve heard your kind describe the galls you get in your teeth—“
“you mean cavities!?”
“Just so! It is like how when examined by the tongue the cavity is said to seem large. And yet, in reality it is small.

That is how it is with mine ovipositor. I can see the cell walls, yes, the holy scriptures in the language of the enzymes… and I just reach in and? I make little correction. I make little change. That is how I make the gall.”

It is an insult to ants, antkeepers and antfarms to compare our lovely educational ant homes to that thing.

Yeah I added this one to the fediTV playlist. Do you know about it?

@sovietfish @aeveltstra

Totally agree. Software tries to get new users with flashy features, but then keeps them by making them scared of change.

How many little companies pay thousands and thousands for microsoft just because of some feature like mail merge that hasn't gotten any better in decades?

How many do the same with google?

What I really love is how documentation just doesn't exist anymore. The "help" menu in programs is mostly useless. "Go search reddit and stack overflow"

@MisuseCase

We were scared that this is what happened to our place, but I think their new bigger space is an upgrade in many ways.

I just worry people will think they are gone. They aren't. They have lots of bikes. They want your donations. They do repair classes.

Their used bikes are the best I've ever used. Top quality work.

@aeveltstra

I can't blame microsoft when google docs is just as bad.

You need to use their "apps script" to do a mail merge OR install one of the add-ons made by third parties which means giving up a LOT of privacy to ... someone.

I wrote some app script to avoid exposing my students grades and names to ... just anyone.

To me mail merge is an obvious core feature of "office software" So why is it still so obscure and hard to do? Where is the "progress?"

My husband has been going to "Recycle a Bicycle" for years. This week he donated a bunch of bike stuff and found out that they have a new location in Brooklyn.

The new location is harder to get to but much larger and it's full of used bikes. Their website makes it look like they only have a few bikes. I think they just don't update it all the time.

I kind of wish I was in the market for a new bike. You need to go in person.
