I fucking love memes you can understand through the language barrier, holy shit

Professorial crayfish

Jonathan just said since Warner Brothers is being acquired by Netflix he’s going to start calling it Wetflix

Cat names should evolve like avant-garde jazz. By the time of a cat's fifth birthday the name by which it is generally known should have zero resemblance to its original name.

I was in a reading lull because I haven’t been in the mood for any of the many books I have checked out from the library but then I tried a new romcom from an author I like and imagine my delight in finding out the “one thing” about the protag’s perfect fake date to the reunion is that he’s a ROBOT

This came to me in a dream

I met a gent at Bonnaroo one year who recognized my voice and then got teary and emotional, thanked me, and told me my radio show helped him get through a really difficult time in his life when he was doing some time for possession.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Me watching returns: look at 3,000+ people in Cheatham County voting for Aftyn Behn!!! (Jonathan’s family is from Cheatham County and it’s absolutely wild to see this swing)

Anyone casually weighing in on this race needs to understand this.

Go Aftyn!!! Unfortunately I live on the wrong side of my street in Nashville to vote for Aftyn Behn (lol not really, though they gerrymandered the shit out of us in this town) but I love how hard everyone is rooting for us in TN!

We did a rewatch leading up to season 5 and let me tell you how excited I was to recognize so many background bird songs in the early seasons!!

Watched S5 E1 ("The Crawl") of #StrangerThings last night & was thrilled to see gorgeous examples of drill holes made by a yellow-bellied sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius) in the trunk of what's likely a loblolly pine (Pinus taeda); Will Byers (Noah Schnapps) for scale. 🧪🌲🪵🐦🕳️

I thought this would be way easier than narrowing concerts down to 5 but it’s very hard too! Introduce yourself with 5 animals you’ve seen in the wild: Bobcat Elk Beaver Southern Flying Squirrel Whooping Crane

As we're entering moss appreciation season (it'll be green and glorious all winter) here's another thing to appreciate - moss can survive in space! Spores placed outside the ISS for more than 9 months still germinated when they were brought back to earth. Moss is magic. ✨

Wow. Excellent writeup on the white-tailed deer's fascinating digestive tract, and a solid scientific basis for why you shouldn't feed them - a carb-rich pile of corn can be so disruptive to their systems in the winter that it can actually kill a deer within 72 hours.

Last summer we went to DC to see Justice at a 6k person venue and had our minds blown by the best light show we’ve ever seen, and I walked out wondering how on earth all those lights could make for a profitable tour.

Essential piece of history in my home town

Okay just checked and I had the “rude” filter on by default! If this is the filtered version of y’all’s rudeness I’m dying to know what kind of quality snark I’ve been missing

We’re further away from The Rolling Stones recording “Sympathy for the Devil” than they were from the murders of the Romanovs when they recorded it

Happy Halloween!!! Surely this is the spooky equivalent of the Tom Holland umbrella video

My goodness. Please don’t send in ghosts. They are very frightening. We only rate dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (IG: theodore.goldenvelt)

A rare good look at a Belted Kingfisher! Including beating the heck out of a fish! #birds 🌿 🧪

Shoutout to whoever was like the news sucks, let’s spice it up by doing a jewel heist at the Louvre

I would buy and fix up all the abandoned amusement parks

Extremely good and the elephant is my favorite

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.

These commercials are driving me insane every single one feels like watching an adult man pretending to be hard while basically saying “I’m daddy’s little boy!! Look at me daddy!!!!”

I was completely convinced today was the last day of the month so I cranked on some work over the weekend to meet today’s deadline only to realize at approximately 11:45pm last night that it’s Tuesday, in fact, that’s the 30th. Does that mean I can just stay in bed today?

Headed to a state forest today to take a five hour class on advanced forest dynamics with the former state forester 🌲🌳🤗🌳🌲

Porcupine in a jacket alert

Well, it is the first day of Autumn. 😂

This is by far the best trail review I have ever seen on @alltrails.bsky.social 🍄

This is me in college after teaching myself how to knit my first scarf and seriously misjudging how many stitches to cast on to achieve a specific width but feeling way too committed to stop

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

I was only offline in the woods for two days but looking at the internet is making me feel insane. This is not good for us is it

I was able to ID 31 tree species this weekend in the woods around the lodge, and I also saw at least one hickory but I don’t know those well enough to ID yet. So at least 32!

September is beautiful. May you get a chance to look out at the sky or a tree or a bird today 🌿

This works like cat tax right

I still haven't made it to Dollywood but I think I'm going to have to go for the new indoor ride they just announced - themed around a night time adventure in the smokies (there better be lots of fireflies)

Why are there commercials for cottage cheese? I personally prefer never to be reminded that cottage cheese exists

I don’t know any of the people who are showing up on my instagram these days but I like this lady’s energy
