Thought this guy was a goner after Ellie the terror chewed off all the leaves. Hadn't gotten around to chucking it. Never give up.

Huh. I look forward to the research. I used aloe myself when I had horrific eczema. "George's aloe" tastes like water. I've contacted the company to ask if the key enzymes are still present in their finished product. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Weedy Seadragon (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus). The extravagant looking appendages are for camouflage so they blend with kelp and seaweed to avoid predators. #wildlife #nature #ocean #biology #photo

Caution! This has some horror. #WIPSnips word of the day is 'liquid.'

Feeling accomplished. I just saved a worm.

We're going to a science talk on Valentine's Day, highlighting bug and slug sex. Who says romance is dead?

This is an awesome article about non invasive non predatory mining process that could be done within the borders of each country. Which is great. But it goes against the core values of mining processes. That is rooted in foreign subjugation, underdevelopment and depleting foreign resources.

I'm starting something new on my Substack newsletter, Eco fantasy with Andie. andieholman.substack.com I'll write short stories using the cast of characters from my books, highlighting different animals to raise awareness for those that need our help. #conservation #turtles #writing #shortstories

I find this article so sad. I'm a book dragon. I devour them. But I want the human effort to touch my soul. Not AI slop.

I wrote about this in The Unbearable Melt, about orcas breaking through the thinning ice. And here we are. www.irishoak.com/07-167180-gr...

It's raining cats, dogs, and ferrets outside. This is my plan for the day.

It's official. Menopause has destroyed my ability to consume alcohol.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you dig in your heels when being told what to do, even if it's ultimately a good thing? grist.org/politics/why...

OMG I'd forgotten this one.

Today's frog is the galaxy frog.

www.bbc.com/news/article... "The highest quality teak comes from old-growth trees, which are harvested from natural forests almost exclusively in Myanmar." Maybe fewer yachts?

A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community.

I love posts like this. They seem so rare these days.

A favorite since my teen years. In today's world, it cuts much deeper.

I'd love to see this. Reschedule the US games and let them be played in Mexico and Canada. time.com/7358117/fifa...

This is a beautiful, beautiful book. If you love bees, climate fiction, lost and found family, you'll love this. Thank you Julie Carrick Dalton for making me cry from beauty. I needed it. #booksky

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds playing CSNY’s “Ohio” with a little “Killing in the Name Of” thrown in.

They built wind turbines to make power — but under the sea, they “produce” something no one expected www.ecoportal.net/en/turbines-...

I love being a little older and knowing who I am. My cat wandered across the camera during an interview and instead of feeling weird I just said "and honestly, if you think this is unprofessional, we're not going to be a good match" and when I look up dude is holding up HIS cat to the camera.

Hey y’all, I’ve got some news that made my day. My daughter’s home for the holiday weekend and just told me that every one of her professors this semester is a woman. On top of that, they all have PhDs. She said it with the biggest smile. And honestly, so did I.

didn't want to do my workout. did it anyway.

a reminder to my fellow writers: if you have written anything in the midst of the horrors—literally anything at all—that is a win and you should be proud of it

Went out last night because ... the world ... I needed a break. I know, I'm lucky I can take one. Anyway, had two beers with a protein-heavy meal. Woke at 11:30 pm. Couldn't sleep until 2:30 am. Getting old sucks eggs sometimes. And, I know. I'm lucky. Stay safe everyone and elbows up.

Researching Valkyries. "Here we find twelve mystical women ... weaving the fates of warriors on a loom made from intestines and weighted by severed heads." Well alrighty then.
