Take a minute to enjoy this clever graphic story.

Snails! Everyone loves snails! Or do they? Yes they do I mean it. Snail haters unfollow me now. Here is a cartoon about... snails! wooo www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The horror of everything all the time! Wait a minute, here is a happy snail story! | First Dog on the Moonwww.theguardian.com Political violence is not OK but what about snails are they OK?

I forage, but it is the smell of the forest and changing wildflowers in bloom that makes my soul sing.

In the rainforests of Vancouver Island, something has shifted in my mind about birding by ear. The songs are not an indication of the thing I’m looking for. The songs are the thing. Bubbling water. A Pacific wren trilling out an elaborate melody. Swanson’s thrushes echoing above the ferns.

I'll slam the door on your fingers on the way out. Oops, it was an accident.

A friend of mine texts for democracy. The group sent over a million texts to voters in one evening last week.

The Constitutional Crisis is already here. You are living inside it. No way back, for better or worse. Either fight to win the future or concede to fascist tyranny taking over our country, the world's largest economy and mightiest military.

Donald Trump's rumored pick for chief of staff is a Christian nationalist who helped write Project 2025.

What worries me most right now are people like Ackman, Musk, etc. who switched from opposing Trump in 2020 (at least performatively) to openly supporting him now, after all of this. This is something more ominous than angry middle aged white guy syndrome. 1/2

Possibly the most news-worthy outcome of this year’s American Elasmobranch Society meeting.

My professional society faced terrible news this year, and we weren’t sure if we’d survive financially. I auctioned off the right to have other scientists pick their favorite shark species to be #BestShark for one year, and we raised $300. Your new #BestShark is the bonnethead shark.

The best way to lower the political temperature is to soundly defeat the party that contains people who refer to the other party as “inhuman” or say that they need to be killed or who suggests we should “second amendment” them.

Clarence Thomas took $267,000 from a health insurance executive, then issued rulings that made health insurance companies more money, while harming millions of Americans. This is a bribe. This isn’t complicated. Expand the Supreme Court.
