When real life mimics Shark Week movies metro.co.uk/2026/03/26/c...

Tomorrow I will be meeting the whole day with Congress people from Louisiana and Texas (I am half-Texan) to discuss the importance of social #sciencefunding on behalf of COSSA & @spspnews.bsky.social Wish me luck! #advocacyforscience #SUFS #scienceisnonpartisan

First red rose of the season! The #roses survived the 3 weeks of winter we had here. My hibiscuses not so much :( #redrose #heritagerose #bloomscrolling #happyspring #dailybloom (I hope)

Every day I get to be amazed at the art my child creates. #anime #art #figurine #painting

The Peggy Martin #roses are in bloom! (And little man is now 8 months old!) more flower pictures will now be blooming on my feed. Spring is here! #bloomscrolling #dailybloom #australianshepherd #aussiepuppy

Me: my neck has really been bothering me. Dr: have you been sleeping weird? Me: define weird…

And baby boy is now 6 months old. Still enjoying piling pillows, blankets, and toys in order to make his princely corner of the couch comfy. #australianshepherd #aussiepuppy #puppy #dogsofbluesky

Long time no post Bluesky fam. The bad news of late has been too overwhelming so I needed to disconnect. Plus it has been so freezing that my flowers are dying. So my kiddo made me some #Lego #flowers. Happy #bloomscrolling

Another lovely #camellia today. The tree and bush are literally covered. Hard to pick just one. #dailybloom #bloomscrolling

I still have some flowers blooming in winter #dailybloom #bloomscrolling #camellia

No surprise: Evidence of "reverse discrimination" against whites (which would still just be #discrimination) is lacking. popular.info/p/the-truth-... Still over a third of whites will claim multiracial heritage on applications (men 3x more likely than women). thehill.com/changing-ame....

Usually on NYE I receive a dozen or so text messages of “happy new year” from friends & family. That I received 0 this year is pretty telling about how my social network feels about the future. Happy New Year?

Balsamic roasted vegetables for dinner. I don’t usually photograph my food but when I do it is because it is full of delicious colors. (Whatever veggies you like + toss in Balsamic glaze, olive oil, smoked sea salt, then 425 degrees, 20 minutes - toss after 10 - easy & yummy.)

#feelgood moment of the day: I came out of grocery shopping to find this man, Joe, filling my flat tire (that I didn’t know I had) with air. No expectations. Just kindness. #goodsamaritan

Zero cuddles #dailydog #aussieshepherd #dogsky

@matthewfacciani.bsky.social in my house everyone gets a book for Xmas. This was mine this year. #booksky

My kid creates awesome #art. This picture he made for me is all paper layered on paper. Everything is cut out of colored or white paper; every stripe, every tooth. #paperart #artshow #lsutigers

Refusing to fund disinformation research is one thing but punishing the researchers is a blatantly unconstitutional intrusion on scientific freedom. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Winter #camelia coming soon… #dailybloom #gardening #booomscrolling

Feel so much safer now that ICE has carted off all the criminals hiding out as dance instructors at our local salsa studio.

What a nightmare. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/h...

At least someone in the house is excited about the chaos that is Christmas decorating.

Back from Tennessee and a great visit with folks invested in improving education. Thanks to the @gatesfoundation.bsky.social for enabling these events!

In the winter of 2003, I was driving to Minneapolis to defend my dissertation when I hit a patch of ice, spinning off the highway into the median. My back wheel busted, I was stuck, freezing, until a minivan of #Somali #refugees (no coats, in sandals) rescued me. apnews.com/article/trum...

Look at this puppy. Sharing on Thanksgiving. #australianshepherd #puppyplaytime #dailydog #dogsky

Two for Turkey Thursday #dailybloom #bloomscrolling #tearoses #rose #gardening

He’s becoming such a handsome little guy #dailydog #dogsky #puppy #australianshepherd

Surprise Big Poppa #hibiscus bloom today just ready & waiting for anyone coming up the driveway. #dailybloom #bloomscrolling #latebloomer

A new double #hibiscus bloom with yellow freckles! #bloomscrolling #dailybloom #latebloomer

"IF THE INTERNET feels worse than ever recently, the good news is that there are many people who agree with you. The bad news is that your brain might be suffering as a result."

Cat toy? What cat toy? This is my chickie now. #dailydog #dogsky #puppy

Late #rosesunday and early #macromonday - it was my mom’s birthday today but she was not well enough to celebrate; here is to hoping for better days. This firery #rose is for you, Mom. You who has taught me my love for #flowers & dragged me into the cult of #gardening #dailybloom #bloomscrolling

My Louisiana Flash #hibiscus may be a late bloomer relative to my other plants but boy is it showing off. Six new blooms just today. Puppy in pic for size reference ;) Got my #dailybloom & #dailydog post in one. #bloomscrolling #dogsky

It was another dewy morning (and then all out downpour) for the roses today #dailybloom #bloomscrolling #rose #gardening

Happy 4 month birthday to this little guy who seems thoroughly confused by his toy. But not deterred! #puppy #dailydog #dogsky #australiansheperd

I know it isn’t #macromonday but I needed to do an extra closeup to capture the dew-dusting of this heritage red rose #redrose #rose #rosewednesday #dailybloom #bloomscrolling #gardening

For all those needing a little #puppy in their life #dailydog #dogsky

My crimson sunset double #hibiscus is even more shy and elusive than my Louisiana Flash so it was such a joy to see one blooming today! #dailybloom #bloomscrolling #doublehibiscus

Missing not having puppy coworker today. :( #dailydog #dogsky #puppy

My Louisiana Flash #hibiscus is just so pretty. I am not even mad that I had to wait til Fall for it to boom with blooms. It is like a bloom bonus when i thought my hibiscuses would be hibernating. #macromonday #dailybloom #bloomscrolling

That's a lot of times for someone who "did nothing wrong"...

I bring you toy, now we play. #dogsky #dailydog #puppy #themstherules

Impressed that my #hibiscus blooms are still showing up in November. Especially the notoriously shy Louisiana Flash that has maybe bloomed once a month. #dailybloom #bloomscrolling

Puppy cuddles while recovering is good healing #aussiepuppy #dailydog #puppy #dogsky

A late #floralfriday post since I had to be at the hospital and then heavily sedated. Trust me probably wouldn’t want to see my drunk on anesthesia posts. #dailybloom #bloomscrolling #rose #gardening

Puppy’s first lab meeting! #dogsatwork #dailydog #puppy #dogsky

They say you learn something new everyday. Today I learned our new puppy is afraid of his own dingleberries. And this 💯 is the look he gave me when I told my partner so I can only imagine what he would do if he knew I was telling the world. #dailydog #dogsky #puppy

We had our first freeze of the season which led to rapid covering of plants or bringing them inside, but I think the black edging on the red roses just adds character :) #dailybloom #bloomscrolling

Proud of my city and our restauranteurs for helping to feed hungry families! Feeding children should not be a partisan issue nor a bargaining device. If you have a SNAP card, you can eat at the following restaurants in Baton Rouge. www.brla.gov/3371/A-Table...
