Ant Fact of the Day:
"Ant Garnets" are tiny red gems found by ants. I know this sounds made up ... but it's real.
Harvester ants dig deep nests (up to 6m!) and they bring the soil to the surface grain by grain. Sometimes they find garnets, tiny precious red gemstones.
These are waste to the ants: they end up in the spoil heap around the nest. When it rains, the lighter stone washes away, the garnets from deep in the earth remain.
Those in the know can collect them from the surface.

@pawpower Cool! Are there mastodon clients you know of that are accessibility focused? Any tips navigating all this data? I found keyboard nav is really tedious cause all the posts have lots of focusable areas and no easy way to skip to older pages quickly 😅
@pawpower good to know ty! Mind if I ask some questions about your tech setup? I'm planning to migrate away from screens in the near future and it's a bit overwhelming.
@pawpower Is having them interleaved also inconvenient? I prefer it to having them at the end to save on character count.
@heapwolf Yeah the movie is such a trip. I loved all the visuals. They really don't make elaborate sets and costumes like that anymore.
@lutindiscret @jonny @akhileshthite @rakoo @nono2357 @agregore lol no clue why that link got pasted at the end. Opps
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
