I’m not on the internet enough to keep up with… anything. Can someone explain to me why people are mad at Pedro Pascal for reading Dostoevsky?

Just 18 more Backers!!! GO, SPACE UNICORNS, GO!!!

These cuties will be up for adoption in a month or so through the Yolo County Animal Shelter.

It turns out you can't threaten to decimate the history and heritage of an entire region of the UK without serious opposition from the public. Please lend us your voice - History and Heritage have been a staple of Bangor for a century and a half, and is in danger of being destroyed.

This is so cool and interesting, can more News be like this please

Several nights of higher migration are queuing up, starting tonight. Tell friends, family, coworkers, etc about this amazing phenomenon and how they can help these birds with a simple flip of a switch! www.audubon.org/news/bird-sa... #LightsOutForBirds #birds #spring #migration

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

Adding, NaNoWriMo: dumping hella responsibilities on unpaid, longterm volunteers, giving them no support (but free stickers!), and then being shocked when those volunteers quit.

Anyone else read this book multiple times as a kid? This meme made me cackle. #biologist

A reminder: posting is not activism and not all activism should be posted. ESPECIALLY when the US gov’t has been targeting people based on their social media (which they’ve always done but have gotten much more visible about it). Anyway, don’t be this guy. Literally nobody likes this guy.

I am super excited to have yellow variant House Finches at my feeder this week... (which is a really niche thing to be excited about, but there we are)...

We've added 11 new backers today and broken 100 overall!!! Thank you to everyone who has supported the Kickstarter so far and who has been helping to spread the word! We only need $700 more by Friday, and I know we can do it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hav...

I love this time of year and this time of day, with the local murder roosting nearby. The sky is black with crows waking and sharing their plans for the day. It’s a raucous event. The geese have to shout to be heard over them. Meanwhile the Great Horned owls have gone back to bed. #birdnerd

So many people in the US don’t know about the protests. Gotta get louder, gotta tell more about them

The CDC's MMWR is out, but it's still missing bird flu studies, including one about dairy workers spreading the bird flu to their pet cats, and another about a risk of infectious among vets who work with cattle. These studies are described in my story ICYMI ⬇️ kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Again. Don’t panic. Prepare.

Just… what the fuck, y’all?

Incredibly excited about the work we do at Haven Speculative! Please support and boost

I'm just starting my latest academic journey, but THIS is exactly the kind of thing I want to focus on!

We are searching broadly for a PhD candidate interested in the evolvability of heat tolerance and the interaction between evolution and plasticity in 🐦🐣, based at @biologylu.bsky.social. Be great if you could re-post. Details 👇 #ERC #HotLife @ercresearch.bsky.social

Hey hi! I am bad at posting, sorry... I'm trying to keep my emotions away from the cesspool vortex that is our current government. Anyhow, I've decided to go back to school for a second bachelors in Biological Systems Engineering (to go with my original bachelors in English) and then to grad school.

Introduce yourself with your worst feedback from school: Hi I'm Elisabeth and some people just don't have it...

I swear to god the headlines read like either a dystopian nightmare or The Onion and sometimes I can’t tell which…

Saying hi. I'm super inactive here, but occasionally I am here. I love you all. But I love the Mandalorian more.

One of my fish finished transitioning! 🏳️‍⚧️💕 Swordtails change sex in many circumstances; this one chose to be female when young & shy, but some larger fish were removed making the tank feel safer & he’s now grown the male’s long tail. Some stay female longer then transition when tired of having babies

I spied @kameronhurley.bsky.social reading On Writing and Failure by Stephen Marche recently in an Instagram post, so I grabbed a copy. Wowza, was that powerful. Thanks for the passive recommendation, Kameron.

My new year’s resolution is to be even witchier than last year. And, you know, stop having debilitating back pain… one of these things is entirely under my control. The other, not so much, but doing my best. Ceasefire now and forever. No more war. Liberation and peace for all.

😅🫠 always the most challenging part for me. Seeing my worth… asking to be paid for it.

Wow.

Please pay attention to how regularly the “I am fighting for economic freedom” people will turn around and say that people need to be forced to work.

This is a fab idea

I love these courses!! @catrambo.bsky.social has curated a wonderful curriculum. Also, check out Cat’s Patreon for amazing supportive writing community www.patreon.com/catrambo

Ugh. So incredibly relatable

Who’s with me?

Pretty proud to say I have stories in three publications this year. Before this year I had no stories in publications, so this is HUGE! I hope for similar growth next year. If you read any and enjoy, please share with a friend!

As we near the end of another year, remember: You are not the sum of your achievements. You are not a list of items checked off on a todo list. You are not a product or a brand or an annual report. Your value comes from being, not doing.

Authors, tell me what you’ll be working on in 2024? For me: -A novel about gods behaving badly. -A short story about the man in all your family photos who you don't recognize. -A short story about friendly fungi (and its many enemies). -Fixing a super tricky Epic Fantasy novella?
