a guy in a maga hat didn't like me asking to see his paperwork to prove he was legal. I thought they loved that? :(

Y’all should apply to come work with me! And send this posting to everyone you know who might be interested! nc.wd108.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NC_Car...

Add life in prison for their government officials and military officers and we’re probably in a way better place today

It wouldn't be overstating it to say this class was a core memory in my education journey. ~10 years earlier I had dropped out of school 90% of the way to a psychology degree. I had muddled through a mini-career as a financial advisor before going back to finish my undergrad at UD

I told my class how @lgpens.bsky.social once sat as a student in my class and has forever been scarred by my lectures of how the fetch of the Great Lakes creates large, dangerous waves. Kids these days don't know about Lake Gitche Gumee.

@jenbiddle.bsky.social your MAST301 students were awesome and way ahead of where I was at that stage of my career! And I pushed operation #EdmundFitzgerald hard. Even included a YouTube link when I responded to their follow up emails 🌊🧪🎶🎤🎶

Can you #FindThatLizard?! Juvenile western skinks, Plestiodon skiltonianus, have blue tails to deter predators. It seems counterintuitive. Why would you want to stand out as a way of defense? In 2016, Japanese scientists published a study focusing on the Far Eastern skink, lestiodon latiscutatus.

I #FoundThatLizard thanks to that lovely blue tail!

I had my first @skypeascientist.bsky.social talk (session? chat? meeting?) today. Two third grade classes and it was AWESOME! The enthusiasm! And such fantastic questions! I just hope they weren’t too disappointed I haven’t caught a barracuda or a white shark or a swordfish 🧪🌊🐠

#FindThatLizard is back ! I appreciate all of your patience and support as I worked through some life challenges. There will be a few changes and a restoration! #FindThatLizard will be returning to being posted on Wednesdays. I’ll be posting to my Patreon, Instagram, and Bluesky.

Maybe @afroherper.bsky.social is taking it easy on us, because I zoomed right in and #FoundThatLizard super fast! Welcome back!

Watching Mikaela Shiffrin win slalom gold by basically the same margin as the last seven golds combined just became my all time favorite sports moment. And then we get to hear that post race interview? We don’t deserve this but I’m happy we got it!

Really photo editing here by Hector Vivas of Getty Images. Composite of the women's snowboard halfpipe final, depicting all the female Olympians who competed.

My youngest is having her first sleepover tonight. Four additional preteen girls in the house. Friends, these kids brought their band instruments and are recording themselves playing together for their band director

Tuesday was supposed to break the hex. And then Mikaela Shiffrin had her worst (non-DNF) race in almost 14 years. Another medal missed. Now there's actual pressure on Shiffrin to go out and do something she hasn't had to do in a long time: prove to everyone she's still the best skier in the world.

Bad Bunny is an awesome performer and that was a flipping great halftime show. Just awesome. And such a gorgeous set.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Like me, y’all might not have even realized it, but you fucking need this article today

That’s the coat three kids use when they stand on each other’s shoulders to get into an R-Rated movie.

Excellent article with a helluva close!

Abolish ICE. No Democrat should vote to continue to fund the government until this fucking agency and DHS are reigned in. That they are doubling down on this will get more people killed. It was always going to. We are not angry enough.

Good lord. Reining in is the bare minimum. Disbanding shouldn’t be off the table.

Call. EVERYONE should call. If they don’t answer (mine did), leave a message. But please, call. They need to hear our CUMULATIVE outrage. We all know what we saw. They need to know that we saw it, too. And that we’ll accept nothing less than full accountability. www.house.gov/representati...

First day back in the office after the holidays and the “it’s time to change your password” email is sitting in my inbox. Now I’m stuck in that limbo with the old password no longer working and the new password not registering yet. Happy new year to me.

It is the fascist who says with a wry smile: It’s you who claims to care about shit, not me.

It is colonialism all the way down. 💔

Me to kids (in Quebec out in public): I don’t know how you all go out in public with me. Middle child: It‘s only because you have the map.

You should click!

It’s worth it for that March photo y’all…☠️ All the other months are great too though

A little disappointed there was no Sheriff Gonna Getcha appearance, but at least we did have this excellent camera angle!

Not gonna lie, I’m little disappointed Clinton Portis didn’t show up in character

Oof. Heard!

Trump Pretends To Block State AI Laws; Media Pretends That’s Legal The mainstream media just failed a basic civics test so badly that you'd think their brains have been pickled by the kinds of folks who spend all their time on X (oh, wait…). Headlines across major outlets are breathlessly…

(the whole appeals court system where what rights you have differs based on which state you live in is probably due for lateral agitation as well)

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

This is such a cool opportunity. If y’all haven’t yet, y’all should throw your name in the proverbial hat!

This take works for pretty much all Christmas songs

2 for the price of one?!? That’s an awesome deal for an awesome calendar!

Don’t forget about the #FindThatLizard Scholarship!! Please share #science #scholarship #funding #herps #HERpers #lizards #snakes #frogs #salamanders #game #challenge #education

Yesterday: my oldest’s marine science class visits my work to learn about #Fisheries. Today: At her track meet I’m looking for the pole vaulting pit and I get a “hey, I think I know you” from a kid in her class. Friends, this happened 2 more times and now I’m basically a celebrity

Can you #FindThatLizard? You're searching for an adult Yarrow's spiny lizard, Sceloporus jarrovi. Since the scholarship recently opened, I figured that I would highlight one of my favorite species.

I #FoundThatLizard Can you?

The struggle is real man…

These people are not made for the moment. It's never been more clear.

Commanders fans, don’t take this personally. But you know your team has to get completely fucking crushed today, right? It’s for the greater good.

We are looking for #rstats community feedback on 3 new dplyr functions! We're aiming to expand the `filter()` family: - `filter()` to keep rows - `filter_out()` to drop rows - `when_any()` and `when_all()` as modifiers Read more and leave feedback here: github.com/tidyverse/ti...

This legit had me almost tears in my eyes laughing during the intermission to my kid‘s band concert. These people think I’ve lost it, but good lord ☠️

It’s a very easy answer!

What a beautiful (and massive!) fish. And that girth!! The passion @solomonrdavid.bsky.social has for these beasties (which I mean in the most affectionate way) *almost* makes me regret that life has led me to their saltier relatives

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
