Hallo flipping.rocks! I am ater, of @ater@sb17.space fame, and I'm very excited to be here while my home server moves (like, physically).

For an #introduction, I am a blind visual artist and author, with a master's in wildlife ecology and a special interest in bees. You've just missed my self created challenge #SeptemBee, where I paint a different #bee every day for the entire month alongside the #SciArtSeptember prompt. Here are my four favorites.

I am also a self-published author, with an emphasis on environmental themes and disabled/neurodiverse characters. All of my books are available free, from https://books2read.com/ap/R5ojKB/Liz-Boysha or my website https://ater.neocities.org/books/mybooks

It records everything you say (and what people around you say, too).

The company behind the #Bee bracelet is being bought by #Amazon. Think of it as Copilot+ Recall for the real world. It seems like Jeff Bezos (pictured) just can’t get enough of knowing everything about you and your life.

Naturally, this raises a ton of privacy questions. In #SBBlogwatch, we have more questions than answers.

Just popped out to put some washing on the line and a leafcutter bee (Megachile centuncularis) flew by carrying its cargo. It took a little break on my garden table so I grabbed my phone and waited for it to take off again so I could see it grasp its leaf. Here’s a little slo-mo clip
