I’m a field linguist, but I’m interested in natural sciences too and this instance has a nice icon.

I like looking at pictures of fungi, slime molds and Cephalopods, so I’ll be lurking in the respective communities.

    Gotta admit I was a little worried from your title that you were eight years old. But welcome! I love slime molds too, would love a community for that if I can figure out how to start one.

      Hah, I didn’t even think about that… My full username sometimes causes confusion because it makes some people think I’m into a specific variety of Japanese art, so I often use just the short version. And I’m too fond of my nickname to use another one.

      I think you can create a community here.

      My heart skipped a beat too 😅 I think that this is one of the practical difficulties when hosting a public-facing website with user-generated content: how do we deal with the possibility of minors interacting with our sites, from a moral and legal stand point? No need to get into the details here, but it is something that I think about.
