Compliments to the chef

My reddit post history disqualifies me for public office cause it's all just Stargate and Star Trek memes.

This is just to say I have bulldozed the East Wing that you were probably hoping to pass down to future generations Well, fuck you it was in the way so inconvenient and so old

Local fall update!

Sun baked cat! Still spry at 17!

This was a powerful message me to learn as a little kid. Just one of countless reasons I feel #StarTrek is the most important television show of all time.

When they're tired and fed they're very sweet.

No, seriously, basic counting is one of the hardest parts of mosquito biology!

I was involved in an air collision when this black swallowtail ran into me and took a breather on my hand (and some salt) before moving on!

Ruby throated hummingbirds have a few calls, including "Byeeeeeeeeeee"

I don't buy many physical books these days... But the Singing Hills series is gorgeous and amazing inside and out!

Best identification day ever! Culex erraticus for, uh, scale.

Sorting through some Culex, Aedes, even an Anopheles or two, and then a TOXORHYNCHITES!

knowing "how the computer works" is quickly going from "advantageous skillset in office job" to "godlike degree of metacognition when navigating reality"

And of course any SLF I happen to find goes straight to my local neighborhood spiders.

Someone had a little spotted lanternfly feast and left me the remnants of the wings in my mint planter!
