#Indigenous people of the #Mojave called creosotebush the "first plant" created by Earth Maker. I wanted to know how wrong they were. #botany docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I've concluded my remote vegetation study of China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station. Conclusion = if you see plants inside this base that are 1. Mostly green and 2. Numerous in number and 3. Waist-high or taller. Its almost certainly a creosote. Almost nothing else even grows there.

Studying unclassfied military range videos like a madman. But for #botany

Without a doubt, the most impressive ancient creosote shrubs on earth are locked away forever- never to be seen. China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station #botany

"Frank's Heart" Creosote. A truly remarkable, one-of-a-kind shrub #botany

Creosote VS not creosote (I think)

I was trying to take a picture of my mokume gane outside and mf Tom bit me!

Is there a better analogy?

Finally someone complimented my Mokume Gane necklace! First time

I found a treeosote

#Botany Is it possible that Larrea tridentata do not need to be super large in size to be very old? I could be getting something wrong in my perspectives (this all may align with known growth rates and I am just unable to grasp just how slowly they grow?) More data needed

I have a hunch that ancient rings of Larrea tridentata intrinsically form on their own, without root competition, nutrient deficiencies, or other external factors. This would be a pretty interesting development, as rings are currently treated almost incidentally, or are assumed to be the result of..

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

Met with plant scientist Dr. Robert Laport! Such a gracious teacher at The College of Idaho. He has faith in me that my data is valuable for publication! Hoping to learn mysteries about ancient creosote clones, of course. I just needed a bit of direction and one single person to give a crap.

Lotta folks been putting in public information requests for their police chief's resume and qualifications and then 1. Seeing if they are true and 2. Comparing them to what's required for the position. Lots of interesting results, allegedly

Got a unopened Zaku II G-Frame thats a duplicate. And while the Zaku II is technically a mass-produced mobile suit and having 2 (or more) is fairly standard, id rather someone else experience #gundam magic for the first time. Anyone want?

I fleshed out more of my beef with "anthropomorphizing" plants and animals. To think that we operate on some special level unaccessible to them is hubris and human-exeptionalism. Its the same error

Ill never forget this chess meltdown for two reasons. 1. Ivanchuk's raw emotion and 2. Danya's benevolent grace. You can see the empathy pouring out of him, however small and quiet he tries to make himself. RIP youtu.be/igldklphDF4?...

future grandchild: like shit, from an ass? me in 30 years: Swear to God. Then he demolished the White House

RIP Danya. Followed him and learned from him since I was a young competitive player way back in 2001/2002

Omg look at this piece of shit

There was no "fan of the game" today because when all the media people and camera dude came down to the designated seat of this game's Fan of the Game, it was a dude in full packers gear (unclear if he declined or was rejected). Section 110. Bystander reporting from section 111. True story

Learn about creosote clones! youtu.be/xUcfUiLCk74?...

I'll say this: some of these guys are lucky that their WWII grandpas are no longer here. They'd be getting the biggest smack upside the head they ever saw

@spaceforcedod.bsky.social where is the blue check? This is a false phony loser account !

Unknown ruins, Mojave Desert. Can't find any reference to what this is. Is that a pit, peak, or giant boulder in the middle? Id love to know what this is!

Mock airfield near Death Valley, used for obvious target practice. Seems to be directly on the boundary of military land but probably dont go there, even if you can (unexploded ordinance!)

Got banned from the #gunpla subreddit for asking about a custom GUND Legs kit wtf? Lmao

Sonora, Mexico

Part of the problem is any logical path I take to try to explain why this is contradictory to me sounds (in tone, not in content) too much like a knower-of-ages-of-consent-by-geography: is there an arbitrary line where we consider people children or isn't there? Am I making any sense?

Anybody planning a trip soon? Southwest Airlines gave me $150 in transferable credit after one of them called me an asshole to my face (I wasnt!). I will NOT be using this credit because they have not provided one of my two demanded resolutions: 1. Retract calling me an asshole officially OR

@scottzona.bsky.social on the coasts of Peru, Tillandsia paleacea grows in abundance. Given the roots and biology of Tillandisa, one could create living "graffiti" by simply rearranging Tillandsia on the ground. Historical imagery shows the 2018 date

Wtf!

I was jumping down off that concrete thing in the background and WHILE IN MIDAIR I look down and see a snake IN PROCESS OF STRIKING ME. He did not have the range but my awkward midair adjustment meant a bad landing and I pulled my calf muscle badly (right where he would have bit anyway).
