yeah :D

We need to bring back rotary

so like, is the joke that this is how phones used to work,

i hope that one day we'll have a day for non-international women

there's still time

Dockerfile? I hardly touched her file 🌝

Please please praise /user/emma instead! She wrote Postmill, including the bookmarks updates, and set it up on a Dockerfile and Compose setup. She made it very easy to just_host.

I can accept some sysadmin credit but Emma seriously deserves the credit for all the hard work and dedication.

Praise be /user/emma and /user/twovests. Amen

Look how the Lord provides

Shit, jstpst has bookmarks now...this changes everything

When Heroku killed Jstpst mid 2024, we had a backup which I was able to restore to a VPS, but the themes were stored elsewhere and lost. Further, Postmill's ~ 8 years of updates mean this css doesn't work anymore hehe

❤️

(that is not a heart; that is something roughly the shape of a bloody pussyprint)

I wanted to check this out but can’t find it. I see a lot of themes (including a devtesla test theme) but no twovest theme…. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Edit: I’m responding to a year old post lol. Is this even a thing anymore?

i miss the old postmill lol

i still want to see your posts. i still want to be your friend

thank u for posting this, because css themes were broken

nooO!

Thank you!! That's a good question! There's really not too many Qs, sadly.

There was a 2022 paper proposing three candidate phyla including Qinglongiota. They seem to be a big fan of oxygen poor environments and sediment!

Mesorhizobium qingshengii is a bacteria associated with milkvetch root nodule, which is cool! Those symbiotic relations are awesome. Everyone says its this cool thing plants can do, because our society suffers from serious metazoan bias, but ALL nitrogen fixation [that we know of] comes from bacteria. Some plants just form these symbioses.

Broadly, there's the concept of Quorum Sensing, which is a huge topic but basically accounts for a ton of the cool stuff bacteria do. Basically they can switch up gene expression based on the proportion of various chemicals in the environment. It is insane and awesome.

I was looking up Q related microbes (that sounds like a horrible conspiracy theory thing oops) and was able to find something tangential — queen bees have a really cool microbiome distinct from other bees!

There's also the queen hypotheses. The "Red Queen" one is general biology, basically just claims evolution is an arms race even if one remains static. Black queen is microbe specific and focuses on why certain traits are lost — basically, bacteria are wont to offload labor they don't need to perform. It's adaptive!

ok those are 3 interesting bacteria whose names start with 'A' that I can think of rn

Ok now I’m curious: can you think of any beginning with the letter “q”?

And I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I love your microbe posts! They are part of what got me posting here :)

post post post post

i wanna see yur posts

i wanna be yur friend

I dont care how long your posdts are!!!!

i want to SEE THEM!

here's a couple interesting videos on dinoflagellates (type of plankton)

spirulina mention!!

Arthrospira platensis, commonly known as spirulina, can take on discrete morphologies depending on environmental conditions: helical as the name implies but also linear! theyre shapechanging out here

Aureispira is a predatory bacterium which uses a heptameric "grappling hook" to catch prey and reel itself in then shotgun blast them to death with a type 6 secretion system

Actinosynnema can grow insane branching fractal mycelial hyphae-like synemata structures in agar medium and into the air. they found that guy in New Jersey!
