I recently chatted with the folks at No Such Thing podcast about keeping indoor cats happy!! www.nosuchthing.show/p/are-outdoo...

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

This is what police have been doing to black Americans since forever. Enough of the "this isn't who we are." You're now noticing because it's white people.

Favorite photos of January (so far)

for comparison purposes

A bat fell out of the eaves here and seemed a plump little kiwi fruit w no visible signs of injury. So we put the bat in the sun to warm up, in a higher spot. Flew off after a few minutes. Hopefully to find a cozy bat colony shelter. Interrupted hibernation? (yes yes we all know not to touch bats)

This is a more accurate metric of impending bad weather than the Waffle House Index

feeling lost alone & hopeless at the prospect of being without AO3 for 15 hours? don’t despair- there’s another highly addictive website out there just waiting for you. it’s got heated rivalries. it’s got behavior: mating. and so much more. that’s right. it’s iNaturalist.

My Twitter feed has become highly entertaining but ultimately unusable in the aftermath of Senegal winning #CAN2025. It’s literally all towel jokes, calls for the removal of Morocco from the continent, & people realizing for the first time how dedicated we Algerians are as haters.

Come on people, it’s the native Hawaiian hoary bat! The ʻōpeʻapeʻa! They’re endangered! Listen! I’ve been riding this high all day lol

Always nice to see Procambarus clarkii as education ambassadors!

From the National Audubon Society's FB page: "The Hooded Merganser is a handsome diving duck with a taste for crustaceans, small fish, and aquatic insects. Their eyes are specially adapted to account for light refraction underwater, making them fearsome—but undeniably beautiful—hunters of crayfish."

finally finished this piece about invasive species. can you recognize the 4 invasive species? #nature #sciart #science #art #digitalillustration #crayfish #fish #plants #invasivespecies #nature #supportartists

Blessed to find this beautiful electric blue Faxonius virilis while sampling the St. Lawrence for my doctoral work! This is a fairly rare phenotype for this native North American species!

I have seen a number of American bitterns over the year, mostly holding very still and pretending (very convincingly) to be blades of grass. Today I got to watch one catch and eat a crawfish!!! Southeast Texas, December 2025. 📷 🪶 1/3

propaganda we're not falling for: - there's no nature in cities/urban areas - we already know everything about plants & animals - nature photography requires expensive camera equipment - you need a degree to contribute to science - you need to travel far to see interesting species
