The world is pretty shit right now and it can be pretty tiring and heavy. So I've decied to make a daily post for us to share GOOD things that happened recently, whether that's a bigger picture good thing or a small, personal good thing.

Did you make strides in unionizing your work place recently?

Hear about a strike?

See a cool bug?

Help out a comrade?

If so, share it with us in the comments here! It doesn't matter big or small! This is a space to recharge and remind yourself what you're fighting for. Come and vibe!

My degree is going well so far. I got a high distinction for a statistics GIS software thing.

Also this thing exists, that's pretty cool

Also I tried to post this thread in the Bloomer comm at first, but it didn't work. No biggy, it can live in this comm for now

Slugs are neat there are many active slugs in my area this time of year and they are cool to look at. I saw one carefully navigate its eye around a blade of grass the other day without touching it. Crazy sophisticated behavior for something that doesn't technically (Edit: according to some stuff I've read but see below) have a brain.

Edit: I went and did some googling and I'm seeing papers speaking of slugs' brains so I guess this definition has changed and improved.

Edit 2: It's possible the usage is inconsistent as there are (some) papers going back a long way describing the cerebral, pleural, and pedal ganglia of the slug as a brain.

GIS is very cool and sometimes helpful for getting job type things congrats!
