first moroccan lichens (from near targa n’mimoune)

Physconia lichens are great Spences Bridge, BC 🌿

I wowed a gym full of kids with my dance moves this week. There were ripples of "Wow, look at Paul!" around the room. One asked me for an autograph. I consider this one of my life's great accomplishments.

I don't know if many people understand how "tough on crime" and awful to prisoners successive Canadian federal governments have been. Added layers for gaining parole, stricter bail, harsher mandatory sentencing, basically solitary confinement for all during Covid lockdowns, lots of services cut.

this effectively eliminates the purported rehabilitative function of incarceration. its human caging

Okay wait Ichiro is Prester John send tweet

Real buzzard behaviour, though 🪶

Although I was a UIUC student when the leucistic squirrel known as Pinto Bean was killed by a car, memorialized by students, and ultimately taxidermied. My office was a floor above his ultimate final resting place/shrine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinto_B...

I'm kind of affronted that these beautiful winter hawks are called "buzzards" across the pond. 🪶

What I was doing in 2009

Live your life such that people will always be surprised to find out you of all people were ever allowed to give a conference paper.

I’m continuing the turntable party with Sunny Day Real Estate’s “How It Feels to Be Something On,” my favorite album of theirs

Other contenders 🌿

When people ask me, "Paul, what is the best duck?" sometimes I answer with this. 🪶

Was legit stunned the other day when I was listening to this in the car with our kids and our daughter (who’s in public school French immersion) asked “is this in French? I think I heard some things” and I immediately got worried since I don’t know any French 😅 but also she’s a genius

Listening to Youssou N'Dour's Set for the first time, and holy Toledo this rocks

March forth, everyone!

Well, I think I was very off on this one. I'm pretty sure the three photos of the dark lichen thalli show Cornicularia normoerica, or Mountain Bootstrap lichen. Happy for corrections from lichen people. 🌿

Thanks @sarahkcox.bsky.social for highlighting this spectacular inland rainforest and its rare lichens

Little Cladonia lichen worlds 🌿

Pumpkin Spice Theophrastus Philippus Aureolus Bombastus Von Hohenheim

Actually knowing how to use excel.

Creston annexes BC

me 90% of the year: wipe blackberries off the face of the earth! a vine hook in every shed! me in mid-august when every hike smells like there's hot, syrupy blackberry crumble in the oven: this is what heaven is like

Listening to some Abbotsford protest dance punk, as one does

Sing, Goddess, sing of the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus— that murderous anger which condemned Achaeans to countless agonies and threw many warrior souls deep into Hades, leaving their dead bodies carrion food for dogs and birds— all in fulfilment of the will of Zeus.

There are really no words to describe the horrors that this war on Iran will unleash. Yet the Canadian government is supporting this illegal catastrophe launched by a country that is threatening to annex us.

I just think Menegazzia lichens are so cool Menegazzia terebrata (Port-hole lichen) in Chilliwack, BC. 🌿

Wolf lichen time. I found some fertile Letharia lupina/vulpina lichen thalli in Clinton, BC. Note the isidia everywhere. Isidia and soralia are is absent on the frequently fertile Letharia columbiana ("Brown-eyed wolf"). 🌿

some iNat nerd just declared that a beetle I found is part of a new species. This is why zoology is superior to cryptozoology

What!? How could Thursday skip Williams Lake, BC on this tour?

Birders, what 4-letter code is getting tatted on your fist? 🌿🪶

a level of commitment to logging *everything* on iNat one can only aspire to

More like “indie sneeze”

You should consider going to see one of the coolest bands do their thing if they are stopping in your city.
