I’m a college professor immersed in #teaching and #ecology. I visit lots of ecosystems, combine observations and simple experiments, and look for generalities. I #garden, #cook, play #music and #read to round things out.

Hard to imagine, but Pepper could have been even better, as the Beatles released Strawberry/Penny as an Xmas single instead of putting it on the summertime album. What two songs to delete to make room? Fixing a Hole (dupe of Getting Better) Lovely Rita (almost as bad as Maxwell's Silver Hammer).

In the field, I once got one of those, asking why I needed a new Columbia shirt. I sent them the picture of the shirt I was currently wearing. Most of those folks don't have a clue about field biology.

Also a choice by administrators. OU’s president once said, only half in jest, that he “wanted a university that the football team would be proud of”.

For me it’s bunny posts. I block and block and block and next day they return in higher numbers than before. As if they’re breeding like… oh.

They played CCR’s “Fortunate Son” over the loudspeaker. “Some folks are born made to wave the flag Hoo, they're red, white and blue And when the band plays "Hail to the chief" Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord.”

Don’t know about you, but every 10th post on my Discover feed is a cute rabbit or chinchilla. Everyone has their line. But the universe viewed through bunny memes is not a universe I want to live in.
