Welcome new followers! I work as a naturalist in New England (USA) & I post about plants, animals, art, crafts, gardening, science, queer joy, & eating the rich.

I also love horror films/books, & Good Omens. Feel free to chat with me; I only bite when the timing is right.

Also here is a good dog.
Ada the red and white Australian shepherd stares at the camera with pale blue eyes. She wears a gold glittery crown, as befitting her station in the family.

This is a great essay! A lot of anti-science or “fiscal conservative” types are quick to go “we spent how much on shrimp treadmills!?!?!” when in reality these experiments can lead to huge scientific breakthroughs. Also I’d rather my tax money goes to scientists then like, building more bombs or w/e

Every year around Thanksgiving, I see tons of grad students post heartbreaking messages on social media about how their loved ones don’t understand or support their decision to study what seems like something pointless or silly.

Perhaps my American Scientist essay can help!

“Why Are We Funding This?”
Long-standing myths about “silly science” have contributed to the reckless slashing of government-supported research.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?

speech balloons over a turquoise background fading to white. the speech leads to Gunko, a little bunny sitting on their tummy, face in hands, dreamy expression, legs kicking gently behind them as they look at a trail of ants leading to an ant hill. “god i love ants. tiny biological computer components of the natural world. each Individual part of a larger, incomprehensibly synergistic whole, a society in which each member knows PERFECTLY its EXACT place and function through complex pheromone trails. No, NOT a society. a SINGULAR ORGANISM composed of thousands of bodies working in perfect tandem. TRUE analogue biological computation. this world is miraculous.” next to Gunko, Pip is holding a pile of earthworms in their hands. there are so many worms. they are falling everywhere. too many worms to hold. panel: closeup on a grinning, starry-eyed Pip. Pip: “WORM.”

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”

Image shows a light-skinned nonbinary person holding up a framed painting of MN ancient fish. They have a pink buzzcut and dangly silver earrings, and there is art and photos of various fish including gar and sharks in the background. Detailed description of painting on next image. Ink painting of an emerald bowfin, longnose gar, and lake sturgeon. The fish are painted in black and silver ink, and in the background are blue, black, and silver lines of varying thickness that resemble water, alone with lines of silver and black dots. The same painting propped against the light teal-blue railing of a bridge, with the Mississippi River in the background.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

A photo of a sticker featuring an illustration of a slice of vanilla sponge cake with white icing and strawberries on top, on a white plate. Inside is a layer of sliced strawberries with red jam dripping down. On the sponge are the words 'i ate the rich' and on the plate in sauce are the words 'and I liked it'.

IRISH SCULPTURE

Yikes. Banning people for activities such as co-authorship and advising a graduate student is completely unreasonable in a modern research environment. And a retroactive 5 year ban is wildly unfair.
The Securing American Funding and Expertise from Adversarial Research Exploitation (SAFE) Act would deny federal funding to any U.S. scientist who collaborates with anyone "affiliated with a hostile foreign entity," a category that includes four countries: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.

Goodnight.
🖼️ Moon Meadow, Josie Wren.
A painting titled Moon Meadow by artist Josie Wren; a large, personified moon with a sleeping face hovering above a dense meadow of foliage. The full moon is set in the night sky dotted with small stars. The moon has closed eyes and rosy cheeks. The lower two-thirds of the image are filled with tall, dark green and yellowish-green grass and ferns. Several small, white, moth-like butterflies or flowers are scattered throughout the lower part of the meadow.

Mud season is upon us. Winterization is in process and I am as tired as the garden! 🌱
A photo of a garden in fall, hydrangeas have been cut back and are going to sleep, catio panels are on for the rain, and guide poles are up for the patio wrap! A photo from a similar vantage point earlier in the season. The plants are full and green and the climbing hydrangea is in bloom. Another photo of a very green and full garden border with a catio. The same corner in early spring, the hydrangeas are growing, peonies are blooming, and lilies are reaching for the sun.

In less than a week, 2 ppl have sent me videos depicting heartwarming stories of animals being rescued by people, & the thing is these are AI videos portraying really irresponsible behavior with wildlife. It is so irritating.

Don’t fall for it. Question everything.
