Following me for invasive species and biodiversity content? I have created a separate account with a professional focus to spare you from my personal ramblings: @invasivesken.bsky.social #biodiversity #invasivespecies

It's normal for grad school to be challenging, and for some days to be really hard. It is NOT normal to be miserable every single day, with zero time to do anything you enjoy.

So much grad student suffering happens because our ideas of normalcy are warped. Don't suffer in silence, seek support!

It is the “It doesn’t matter how awful it tastes, you are going to eat your dinner and you are going to like it” approach to democracy.

Hot tip for @canentomologist.bsky.social members arriving in Calgary today:

The conference hotel has an airport shuttle (for $5) that runs on the half hour, but you have to call to book a spot.

Canadian governments continually treat Indigenous title as a “policy issue” rather than a legal obligation and fundamental right. @rileyyesnomaybe.bsky.social asks: Why must Indigenous people fear for the protection of these rights with the arrival of every new government? thewalrus.ca/trc-land/

Ryder Cup 2025 is a reflection of America First.

- EU playing for the trophy. Americans playing for $500,000 appearance fee.
- EU captain and advisors are unselfish. USA captain came very close to choosing himself to play.
- EU fans classy and know the game. American fans boorish and ignorant.

Florida man who lies about his weight, his IQ, his health, his cognitive test results, his net worth, his golf handicap,
