whenever he is sitting around looking upset we've started calling him "Upsetti Spaghetti, the Italian cat" and i'm pretty sure it just makes him madder

Happy #Caturday friends. I am currently experiencing Shingles Shot immune response blahs (so much better than the Shingles though!) so we will be spending the day taking things easy like Marco and Biscuit demonstrate here. #TakeItEasy #VACCINATE

Marmalade Cat wishes you well and hopes you have a nice blankie fort to rest in.

Hello! One month from today I’m releasing my new book about our majestic universe, which thinks with poetry, quantum physics, relativity, Zhou kingdom philosophy, galaxies, particles, Akan aphorisms, Black feminism, Star Trek, Alice in Wonderland. AND it’s for all readers. 📚💙 Please preorder it! 🧵

P.S. re: my own difficulties. Long before I got into native gardening, I'd started out with veggies. I killed so many starts and would then go buy whatever at the store. Green thumbs come from killing lots of plants. You deserve to try some fun varieties, not just the same boring commercial types.

Great thread about Maud Lewis, Canadian folk painter. I had a chance to visit her house that now lives inside the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (it’s that small). Such an interesting person and her art always brings a smile

🌱 I wondered why the water wasn't flowing out of the watering can spout properly! Hello little frog! 🐸 #Gardening #AustralianWildlife

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

My cousin and her family are staying with me in April so I gotta get this Skype a scientist stock room cleared out! May I interest you in a native plants t shirt or print? Our shop supports our work here in Philly connecting people with science via art! SquidFacts.net

youraislopbores.me thanks I love it

Was confused first and had to check the info/ FAQ page:

Hey gardeners, I hope everyone made it through last night's tornados without damage. Some of my winter sown seedlings: Green Milkweed, Fuzzy Phacelia, Standing Cypress and White Vervain. #nativeplants #wintersowing 🌱 #gardening

one of my favourite things I own so soft and SO cute. People love it when I whip this lil guy out when I'm paying for things.

Coral honeysuckle is blooming very early this year. Ready for hummingbirds in a few weeks!

One of my favorite things in the whole world is when I come home after being out for a few hours and Francie is always like "Peep! Peep!" and she doesn't want food, she doesn't want toys, she leads me to the couch because she specifically needs me to lie down for a snuggle. 🥹

THREAD. 3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead. We decided to call him Jim. This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

New whale fall patches just got added to my site, along with 4 other new patch designs! 🐋 shop.fossilforager.art

It’s time to think big about monarch butterflies! 🦋 They fly thousands of miles south every winter to escape the cold, but how do these delicate insects do it? With solar-powered radio tags, scientists are tracking the monarch migration to uncover the obstacles these butterflies face along the way.

I don't have grandkids yet, but when I do, I'm going to make sure they can appreciate the weird little guys that very definitely exist. Nature went to all the trouble of making them, I feel like learning about them is the least we can do. 🦉: Great potoo (Nyctibius grandis)

You know what makes me sad? Future generations growing up accustomed to AI-generated images will absolutely doubt all the amazing and weird animals that I find delightful: precisely because they look so unreal. 🦊: Tibetan fox (Vulpes ferrilata)

They're back for the coming spring 🥹 Oak treehopper moms stay and guard their eggs and growing nymphs until they're ready to disperse and I love them so much 💚 #InvertebrateParenthood

A frequent criticism of my books is that they contain too few upper arm bones.

Happy #ValentinesDay, all you love bugs ❤️ (Warty leaf beetles, half a rice grain in size but a ton of pure lovin', Brazil) #BugSky 🐙🌿📷

Happy #ValentinesDay friends. A #PSA, if you are going to enjoy some intimacy please practice #SafeSex, lest you collect unwanted biology like this Asian Lady Beetle, Harmonia axyridis, who has an impressive infection by the sexually transmitted #fungus Hesperomyces harmoniae.💔 #MacroPhotography

My dog truly enjoyed the weather this morning.

#Pollinators We can attract our native pollinators by stopping all landscape-wide pesticides & by planting a wide variety of native plants arranged so that pollinators can thrive. Some can only fly a short distance to find nectar. Read: beautifulnativeplants.blogspot.com/2025/04/desi...

If you love Asclepias too, I highly recommend this beautifully photographed #Booksky tribute to #MilkweedsForMonarchs. Must buy for US fans of #NativePlants, #butterflies & other #Pollinators. #gardening 🌱

An extremely short horror story I wrote, set in the future.
