Interesting. And probably valuable to a lot of people. But the one record I randomly clicked is definitely not … human. 🌿

I can’t find the thread here, but I learned this yesterday—- VICTUALS is pronounced VITTLES. They are THE SAME WORD! 🤯

Family picture. 😊 That’s Broken Foot in the middle, her mate on the right, and another male (?) on the left. Possibly an offspring? 🌿 🐺 #mammals

Late to the party on #ArtAdventCalendar, but here we go: Day 1: the rebozo I wove when I learned to use a backstrap loom in Oaxaca, Mexico in 1988.

Hearing from Art Friends this year that their holiday art sales are pretty low -- maybe in part the economy, but I'm also guessing it's how AI has fucked some shit up. As such, if you can spend money on real art by humans this holiday, please do.

The beaver pond has frozen over. I’m not hopeful about the remaining beaver. There’s been no work done on the lodge and there are no branches planted in the water around it to hold her over the winter. Usually that’s done by now. I saw her on the cam ~ 3 weeks ago, but not since. 🦫 🌿 #mammals

Esther Richards was born November 24, 1895. In 1921, she suggested that microfossils could be used in stratigraphy. Her study was ridiculed by Professor J.J. Galloway: “Gentlemen, you know that it can’t be done.” wp.me/p3ihHu-4DF #WomenInSTEM #histsci #EarthScience ⚒️

Feed help! This feed doesn't work just with keywords, it keeps giving me errors. So I made a list with people but it will list everything these people post ignoring the keywords. Any ideas of how to fix this? Thanks!

THIS message by Kate Marvel about climate change - that we have made progress and there is hope - is a message we need to say over an over again. Because everyone is more likely to act when we think there is hope. 🧪🌎 www.nytimes.com/2023/11/18/o...

Umm. Hello. That would be my tree. 🙄 This is one of the lake beavers. They’ve been really busy in the last few weeks. I found one tree cut down not 30 feet from the house. I’ve wrapped trees I particularly want to save. Everything else can be theirs. 🌿 🦫

Happy Science Friday, folks! Today let's talk about the pretty insects who evolved photonic crystal-like nanostructures to manipulate light. Let's start with the remarkable structures of the Morpho butterfly wing that produce iridescence.

This illustration just came up in one of my other channels and I love it so much! It’s called, “The Insects Orchestra” by Shotaro Honda. It appeared in a Japanese children’s magazine in 1922. What I wouldn’t give to have this on my wall. 😍 🌿 🦗 🐞 #art #music

I just finished listening to this book by @jonathanslaght.bsky.social I highly recommend it for both the fascinating natural history of the Blakiston’s fish owl and for the harrowing adventure that comes with doing field research in the harsh remote environment of the Russian Far East. 🪶 🌿 🦉

The results after searching my iPhone photos for “otter”. 🤔🙄 5 out of 10 isn’t terrible (well it kind of is) but really, this is where we need decent AI. Imagine finally sorting & making searchable your decades of digital photos in mins? Honestly, “sort my photos” is my idea of an AI revolution.

A single otter seems to have moved into the beaver pond. I’ve caught it on cams over the last 2mos. Pond is only abt an acre, is < 1m deep, has no fish. Will it survive here all winter? Where are its people? The main otter fam is on the lake 1/2 km away. Just seems unusual that it’s here alone. 🌿
