Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will:

MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.

Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We are at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

Hey, we all like fireflies, right? Of course we do! So please: LEAVE YOUR LEAVES! Firefly larvae need the protection that fallen leaves provide to complete their life cycle. Even just allowing part of your yard to be covered with leaves can help the arthropods/invertebrates/microfauna living there.

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

A plethora of apps in Apple's app store are basically just spyware / surveillance apps but for some strange reason this is the one that gets banned

Today's carolina mantis was very intrigued by me. We also have another one living in our kitchen window eating gnats!

A photo of a tiny tan praying mantis (Carolina Mantis- Stagmomantis Carolina) perched on the back of a person's hand. It peers directly at the camera, curious.

Here is the trilobite Angelina sedgwickii from the Lower Ordovician (Tremadocian) Dol-cyn-afon Formation from Wales, U.K. This trilobite is slightly distorted due to tectonic forces. It is a great teaching piece to discuss structural geology.
