Great call for #SciComm action at #ISRS2025 by @jdtonkin.bsky.social “if we aren’t speaking to the public, we leave a gap that will be filled by others.” @riversociety.bsky.social #AcademicSky

We now have a baby and everyone keeps asking what toys to get the baby for Christmas, but this is basically how my baby feels about toys.

#ChristmasShopping
This shows the meme from the show “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” where Danny Devito’s character is pretending to be an art critic. Pointing at two sets of child toys, he says “Bullshit” and “Derivative”, and then finally when presented with a rubber spatula, says “that I love. I absolutely love”.

My ecologist/potter friend made this veiny blobfish mug and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen
Image of a hand holding a mug that is shaped like the head of a blobfish, which has a bulbous nose and a frown with wide set eyes. It is blotchy green with red veins on the forehead

I could not find the artist Peppermint Narwhal here, but they just shared this infographic about what might be the best named animal ever
Infographic about Beezelbufo ampinga, also known as the Devil Frog. Image has a drawing of the toad and the following information: Beezelbufo, also known as the “Devil Frog” lived on the island of Madagascar during the late Cretaceous. About the size of a beach ball, this species may be the largest frog that ever lived. It was so big it was capable of eating small dinosaurs.

A very nice leaf cutter bee from the garden. They tend to be more skittish than some of the others I see so I am very happy to capture this photo

Why does this never happen to me when I’m doing fieldwork?! https://themessenger.com/news/snake-falls-out-of-sky-onto-womans-head-then-both-are-attacked-by-hawk
An image of an article headline that says “Snake Falls Out of Sky Onto Woman’s Head – Then Both Are Attacked by Hawk Peggy Jones said the hawk must have come down on her at least four times in an effort to catch the snake”

Went to Beaver St Brewery in Flagstaff for dinner as part of a workshop and they have some great mocktails that are also appropriately priced. Would love to see more of this kind of thing

Had a high school group for the day so I dug out a beetle grub to show them and they were all grossed out and then wanted to use their new hand lens to look closer. I think this went well.

When my mom was young she looked just like Linda Hamilton, who plays Sarah Connor in the Terminator movies.
