The faecal focus of these birds displays is wonderful. Honestly, poop is part of nature.

Love bees? 🐝 Good. Love flies too. From carrots to pawpaws flies pollinate loads of flowers. My #Ptbo pawpaw tree has happy flies today. Future me with a mouthful of pawpaw fruit thanks you flies!

I love doing this. I call it "maggoting around". For blow fly maggots (the kind that feeds on carrion), their final larval stage is the "wandering stage" to find a place to pupate. I must have come up with that term in my forensic entomology days. I ... I might be alone in calling it that.

I stayed in one of these in Tokyo after living in rural Japan. It was pretty good actually. Everything you need in a tiny space you can afford for the night.

I scored a beauty header in my soccer game last night. I don't care how old you are. That feeling is Top Notch! Timbit age, teenage, men's over-35 age, it all feels great. Whatever you love playing, keep playing it as long and as hard as you can. It makes life fun.

Glad to see speed cameras coming to #Ptbo. I hope they combine it with 2 things: 1. Cameras to photograph anyone vandalizing the speed cameras. 2. Police crackdown on unreadable licence plates.

I'm working on the Climate module for Nature right now. A statistician playtester created a simulation of 100 million games to see how the climate will move during a game. I love this kind of data! @northstargames.bsky.social @boardgamewire.bsky.social @boardgamegeek.com @danthurot.bsky.social

Proud to be the outlet that got the second-least amount! (By $9 😂)

Our electoral system sucks. Vote for the least bad option. And expect for them to fail us, as they generally do. Rinse & repeat. Wouldn't it be nice to vote with your heart and have that vote count. We need #ElectoralReform.
