Some beauties from a recent Moth Night. The variety is always amazing. The last two moths are a Pandorus Sphinx and Small-eyed Sphinx. Those patterns! They just suck you in. MOTHS. I love moths.

Okay, I've confirmed I'm off the hook for media inquiries, so thread begins! @erikklemetti.bsky.social has already written a lovely explainer on what a hydrothermal explosion is and what this means for Yellowstone the volcano (spoiler alert: nothing!). Go read that; it's great! ⚒️ 2/

I try not to comment on American politics but I feel like the vibe from my left-leaning friends seems to be, "We're gonna put together the best last-minute talent show and raise enough money to save the community centre!" lately

What is this incredibly bizarre overwhelming unfamiliar feeling is it....is it....hope??

PSA: I know its become a sort of rallying meme but trust me white folks, you do not want to be asking your desi friends/colleagues "are you team coconut" just had someone try that and the results were... not good. Just don't. It won't end well.

I get that the coconut tree thing is kinda funny and super innocent in origin but considering that coconut is literally what we call the desi version of an uncle tom and that she is literally half indian I just can't do it lol y'all gonna have to carry this meme without me

I know there’s lots of stuff going down right now, but take a breath and enjoy my dog Ellie nooshing on a new chew hoof. 🐾🦴😁 #dogs

Sen. Joe Manchin is considering re-registering as a Democrat to run for the party’s presidential nomination, a source told HuffPost.

Joe Manchin Weighing Re-Registering As A Democrat To Run For 2024 Nominationwww.huffpost.com The independent West Virginia senator, who left the Democratic Party earlier this year, is considering throwing his hat into the 2024 race following Joe Biden's exit.

Well just had a pretty awesome exp. Old guy down at the end of the street has a yard chalk board where he posts messages each day. He just changed it. Stopped to take a picture and 6 peeps from the area also stopped. We had the most delightful convo about supporting Harris. ✊ #HarrisforPresident

"Humble pie" is one of those weird etymological coincidences. It started as "umble pie" from a French term for "deer innards", which were the filling in the pie. 'Humble' is from Latin humilis ("lowly" as in 'humus' = "dirt"). Someone who ate 'umble pie' was probably poor & hence 'humble'.

Full agree. This is all so F-ing stupid. I just can’t even…(sigh). We definitely live in the dumbest timeline.

"Let's do the thing, we can work out the details later" is not a plan for how to do the thing.

People say scientists are serious but marine biologists will spend hours quietly sitting around tables drawing on styrofoam cups and then tying said cups to deep sea submarines Because ocean pressure will squeeze the air from the cups And we are but human & we want tiny cup

I still remember having to work on my company’s Y2K compliance certification.

it’s exhausting to have to point this out every time the Y2K bug is brought up, but hey: it didn’t do as much damage as was feared because *lots of people worked very hard to raise awareness, prepare, and fix it*

If I was into conspiracy theories I would say the CrowdStrike mess was engineered to distract from that unhinged gibberish acceptance speech last night. 🤪

Tried something new - making a miniature in a little dome! I made this one as a gift - featuring a black cat sitting on a couple of books, with a hanging plant! It is the first miniature plant I've made, and the first time I've made books out of clay. 🧶

This thread is very much channeling all my thoughts and fears about the Dem nomination.

1/ Thread on Democratic Presidential nomination. A. If Joe Biden chooses to stay in the race, there is literally nothing that anyone can do to force him out. He would be the nominee. B. I do not know how Biden would fare as the nominee. C. I believe that it is vital to the survival of the . . .

The grove right now.

If you are still engaging on former twitter then you are supporting this.

Elon Musk has rapidly turned Twitter into a pro-Trump campaign engine. - Icon of Trump after his assassination attempt on the MAGA hashtag (hat tip to @parkermolloy.com) - Unremovable Trump 2024 hashtag at the top of the trending topics list - Unremovable Trump campaign ads on the Explore tab

It is important, when you see a butterfly in the park, to run after that butterfly, because we all die, and you never know how many butterflies you’re gonna see.
