Bluesky Aristolochia fan club meeting starts now with Aristolochia philippinensis. Roll call: @shingworks.com

me waiting patiently for The News

:)

I love the word “movie”. we should call music “soundies” imo

Saw this in person at the deYoung ~2 decades ago, I still think about it all the time

Got my biopsy back and I'm neg for cancer OTL been holding my breath for ~2 weeks. good fucking golly

Additional dumdums, including Raggedy Andi who is brooding like 2 dozen eggs very badly at the moment. I respect her for trying so its fine, get it gurl. Irish crème cold brew, the pale quail in the back corner, is 5.5 years old! and still hungry for worms

QRP with bird

My brother, who I convinced to plant a native Aristolochia californica: so how will [Pipevine Swallowtail butterflies] find it Me: I think they are just hungry and fuck around until they see it My brother: ...that doesn't sound right but I don't know enough to argue TBH I have no idea either 😬

This has been one of the quietest July 4th weekends in recent memory… you know the economy is bad when the scamps can’t afford to set off explosions the days before and after

One of my favorite backyard lizards, who I hadn’t seen three days and thought was dead, is ALIVE. I was so happy I thought of this ode to my favorite species while taking a shower, lol. With apologies to Gwendolyn Brooks.

periodic reminder that i'm a gold crab. i live on the beach and pick garbage out of the sand and eat it. i don't know what work or stress is. my life is perfect and i love it

Was in Arizona over the weekend. Cactus rule, humans drool.

All I want to do lately is grow plants!!! I look normal on the outside but on the inside I'm mentally firing white-hot lasers out of my mouth and eyes thinking about the stupid little seeds I am going to germinate next week

Did my best howler monkey impression for my husband and he wasn’t overtaken by wonder and admiration? Not sure what’s wrong w him

🦀 see a crab, post a crab 🦀

Howdy I'm the sheriff of #makeaterriblecomicday

おはようございます中のヒトです🦀 6月22日、今日は『 #カニの日 』。 カニ、可愛いですね😊 磯場遊びが楽しい季節です。今週もよろしくお願いいたします！

I’m very annoyed to report that I was sick all weekend for the first time since pre-Covid, not because I don't still mask everywhere (I do), but because I caught something at my stupid dentist visit. The one place I can’t protect myself >X[_______] the injustice!!!

Seeds I bulk-sowed on May 31 are finally starting to germinate... whew

My brother's chinchilla is not feeling well :[ He's a month shy of his 20th bday and I'm a little worried for him. I know he's had a good long life but still... pls give some posivibes to Kitty

lunch break with the lads

these are getting weird

Yayyyy @magnoliapearl.bsky.social's Golden Boar is coming back :3 I'm team Boar ofc, but had to include Lion cuz he's been such a little shit lately. Now's a good time to catch up before updates return! www.monster-pulse.com/goldenboar/

The San Diego Cactus & Succulent Society's biggest event of the year is this weekend! Lots of cool plants to look at, it will be an excellent time. www.sdcss.net/2026-summer-... (The info on these flyers is the exact same but I like both colorways so now you have to look at both as well.)

Step 1: Think briefly about superposecomic.com Step 2: Reread Superpose from the beginning for several hours and now it's somehow 10pm, oops

you simply can't beat Japanese floral stink researchers for scientific illustration

Acting like the big dick on campus going outside and yelling at Mysterious Night Noises to stay the fuck away from my quails. I hope the male quails see my dominance and feel emasculated by me

this happened all the time during the age of dinosaurs, I have learned from books

sorry this shit is extremely funny. he does not have my vote, but I respect him for adding an element of boomer chaos to an otherwise boring candidate research session

In other news, a cool Dorstenia in my collection that doesn’t have any mealies. Some of the longest and coolest appendages I’ve seen so far.

Modern problems require modern solutions (mealy infestation on my D. horwoodii and D. lavrani vs 25 hungry Cryptolaemus montrouzieri “mealy slayer” beetles)

My kingsnake is turning 20 this year... is it weird to throw a birthday party for a snake...

My husband discovered a new type of [??? unknown] where I lay down on the bed and he roughly rolls me around back and forth like I'm a piece of dough, it's my new favorite thing ever. Simply developing my gluten

For never was a story of more woe than this of [Der-shing picking a bunch of scale insects off of their expensive Aristolochia salvadorensis cutting]

It's stupid baby season

I was informed this morning that I have a cavity, for the first time in 12 years, despite my fastidiousness irt brushing and flossing. The dentist kept apologizing. "You're doing everything right," he said, "I'm sorry this happened. I don't want you to feel discouraged." His grief reassures me.

Papaya can produce fruit 9 months after being grown from seed and other information that should be illegal for me to know. Infinite papaya hack

After weeks of feeding the resident garden lizards (mostly S. occidentalis & U. stansburiana) they've stopped running away when they see me and now scamper briefly to get my attention and then wait to see what I'll do, lol. They all do a celebratory pushup after eating, it's so cute. Some old pix:

hmm... its lookin' like a work weekend

A periodic reminder that you can live without "modern" tech and do fine. I have never owned a smart phone and am doing great. Still using a circa 2006 Intuos 3. Still driving a 2009 Nissan Versa with knobs n everything; still listening to CDs. If tech makes you unhappy, you don't have to use it~

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

Lately I’ve been pushing my luck at the olive tree beehole, trimming around/ getting all up in the beehole. They don’t care all that much as long as I don’t block the runway area… even if I do, they just land on me a bit or go around without getting too bothered about it. Doin the My Girl speedrun

This week I am trilobitemaxxing (going about my business on the sea floor, becoming wildly successful as a species, then going extinct due to circumstances out of my control)

In other news: forbidden grapes
