Does anyone know what snake this might be? Location #kenya, #nairobi. It’s been killed :/ I’m trying to advise on better approaches to the next snake sighting here🐾🧪

Beautiful and prickly, these cholla cacti, or teddy bear cacti, actually launch at you unprovoked. This stand blooms where the Mojave transitions into the Colorado desert in #joshuatreenp and is stunning. What’s more, most are thought to be identical clones of parents with the same DNA 🧪🐾

Happy birthday #google #scholar! You have made tracking the ever expanding lit-verse doable and even fun. You also make me feel a bit old, but it’s ok because I am :)

Post mastectomy WARRIOR bodies. Mine feel like ticking time bombs I can’t defuse. This is magnificent, bold, and beautiful.

I suppose this is the test. I was dxed with breastcancer 26 yr ago. I am a Flat Closure advocate. I’ve posted for abt 5 yrs on on other apps. Will BlueSky support the breast cancer community when we work on normalizing all post mastectomy bodies?

Space is just bloody beautiful. Also cold and silent and scary. But through a telescope, it’s really rather lovely.

Today I discovered the husafell, an Icelandic stone weighing 186kg that used to stop goats from escaping their pen? I have the bruises to show for it. I think THE stone is still where the last person to set a distance world record left it. This seems logical #crossfit #pain #strongwoman

I’m leaving the world of basic bird sounds for some blue sky. It’s hard to start over, but I am ever hopeful that given the option, the world will be kinder.
