These closeups are gorgeous, @jaymoschella.bsky.social ! Topography of the book should be a thing, in addition to archaeology of, etc.

13 years ago a bunch of medical professionals kept me and the baby inside of me from dying! This sure felt like a medical miracle at the time and I'm so grateful we are both around to look at clouds and share puns and read books 💕 Kids are great and childbirth is dangerous xo

psa don't do this without some basic mussel education; I don't want to be responsible for anyone eating a bad mussel because that will RUIN YOUR WEEK

Beverly Cleary wrote animals so well. Ribsy is as well-developed a character as Henry.

"We don't want to interact with the whales physically. We want to avoid them." "We're stewards of the sea." 🙏 - Maine lobstermen

The neighborhood dog culture captured in the Ribsy and Henry Huggins books is so foreign now, too! (Leash laws are probably a good thing, but still. Ribsy goes everywhere!)

This is huge. I'm so grateful that we now live in a neighborhood where neighbors don't call the police on kids playing outside.

I don’t think they are on Bluesky but I’ll link to the workshop below… look at this oceanic textile woven into a snail shell!🐚 🐌 🪡 🌊 www.theinterwoveninstitute.org

Sea anemones and jellyfish don’t have brains, but the way their neurons behave during sleep shows some surprising similarities to humans

This is the same whale in the article below, killed by a ship strike... photographed last summer 🐋

The red dot is a baby North Atlantic right whale trying to migrate up the east coast of the United states. The blue streaks are fast moving shipping vessels entering and leaving New York City harbor. One collision and the whale is dead. We need *mandatory* speed limits for these vessels! 🧪🦑🌍

Saw a mouse in the kitchen and shouted "no" repeatedly as if I could convince it to stop existing

There'd have to be some cider involved.

I am a library consultant now. Pay me to come tell your provosts the following

There are so few living right whales (under 400) a non-savant human could conceivably learn a little bit about each one. 🐋

Unintended consequence of teaching my kids fun facts is now whenever I refer to poinsettias as flowers some wiseacre shouts "you mean, LEAVES" 🍃
