Or just not active anymore at all?

That one, probably.

Here’s another stat: it’s the only observation I’ve unfollowed.

@raymie

It was also suggested that on Gerald Day, all CV suggestions could be Muskrat.

Very bad idea!

Gerald needs a mate. We should find him a Geraldine.

Gerald should be Inaturalist’s mascot!

Gerald is a cult I can get behind. I adore Gerald. Happy Gerald Day!

We really have no idea what sex Gerald is. They are probably female, because a slight majority of adult muskrats are female.

I think the idea behind it is it even the mole couldn’t dig deep enough to find it… it’s not there. Thought this was pretty clever on iNats behalf. But yes Gerald should appear SOMEWHERE on the website on a day-to-day basis

I couldn’t get ChatGPT to make a poem that actually refernced Gerald, just generic muskrat poems, like this:

I like it. Although it does illustrate the limitations of AI in another way: when it comes to poetry, AI will only ever be able to write doggerel. It will never create a masterpiece; that takes a human soul.
