Cover post withdrawal? Got you … covered… fam. @mollytuttlemusic.com does the best Dire Wolf I’ve ever heard. I was recovering from surgery, dozing on the couch, and woke to video of her cover of “Go Ask Alice.” Thought I was still dreaming! Investigated and found this. Been following avidly since.

Hey, Shroomsky- check out the #FungiFriends Ï found this morning in James City County, Virginia!

A classic, almost cartoonish mushroom poking up out of the pine straw. The conical cap is bright red at the top, shading to orange, with a white stem. It’s a little smaller than a fist.

A delightfully textural mushroom some six inches tall. So round- very pleasing to look at. 10/10

Heathcliff rides down the street in his open-top ham car past an autumn tree whose colored leaves are falling. Two meat store employees watch from their shop's entrance, and one says "This is great ham weather."

For the #SciArtSeptember prompt origin a print about autodidact marine #biologist Jeanne Villepreux-Power (1794 – 1871). 🐡🧪👩🏼‍🔬🦑 Not only did she invent aquariums for scientific study, she solved the millenium-old mystery about the nature and origin of the argonaut’s shell, showing that it is in fact 🧵

My linocut portrait of Jeanne Villepreux-Power with an aquarium and one of her observation cages with anchor. There is a paper nautilus in the aquarium and she is holding a net while wear a voluminous dress. The print is in a gradient of gold at the bottom through green and purple at the top.

Good news for those of us who just love potatoes, rice, and pasta.

There's a secret superfood in white rice and pasta: Here's how to unlock it

When it comes to rice and pasta, dietitians recommend eating brown or whole grain because they're more nutritious. But you can create a super nutrient in white rice and white pasta. Here's the trick.
