I just noticed I am close to 1000 followers. I never broke 1000 on any the corporate owned platforms which I have long left. If you like caves, nature, and occasional adorable dog photos, mind helping me break 1000 followers for the first time ever? I'm a scientist who studies critters who live in caves, and also train dogs, because just one job in this economy? 😂

I am also vehemently against GenAI and will post ideas for getting off of / decreasing reliance on iNaturalist (who has gotten in bed with Google GenAI). Occasional other science communication type posts as well, and happy to answer questions! I always alt text and camel case because I believe in accessibility.

ETA: I do occasionally post "creepy crawly" photos, but I use hashtags so if you don't want to see a cave spider or such, I am easy to filter. I understand that some people just want to see cool passages and formations, and wish to skip the invertebrates. (Filter recommendations: "spider" and "invertebrate" which I use as a catch-all for more leggy critters you may not know the names for.)
