Percy is relaxing now. The small apes have moved out and his world is peaceful

I see the old “too many people are going to university to do Mickey Mouse degrees” trope is doing the rounds again. My son did a degree in Comedy Writing and Performance. Did he get a job in the creative industries? No. Is he earning a good salary? Also no. But he was greatly enriched by studying something he was passionate about for three years. What is wrong with just learning for learning’s sake? Education is not supposed to be merely a mechanism for churning out workers

@purplepadma I did a degree in physics. Am I now a physicist? No. Am I earning a good salary? Also no. Did I study a subject I was passionate about? Also, also no.

Yesterday I learned that #plymouth has an endemic species of spider that is so rare it’s only found in 3 places in the city and nowhere else.
Dearest mastodon I present to you the horrid ground-weaver spider. https://www.buglife.org.uk/projects/horrid-ground-weaver/
Thanks to @Buglife for telling me about it , having its back and for being generally awesome.
