I’m not using iCloud to get more storage on my phone, Go fuck yourself apple.

Side image of a snake held in someone’s hand and facing right. The snake’s ground color is a brownish orange, overlaid with black squares. A pale yellow stripe runs down the back. The snake’s tongue is flicking out, mostly orange but the forked tip is black.

I had a great day today helping with herp survey work in southern Illinois. Finds included this large female eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis), out basking under the warm spring sun. #herps #snakes 🌿

Not the best quality photo but a student asked to have this and I couldn’t say no.
So while I’m without my zen giraffe, I’m grateful I have this old pic of her.

Snake pics! Tabitha is just a little cutie 💚🐍

Soft white blooms with brick colored bracts. Deep glossy green foliage.

After the blooms fade, the large clusters of brick colored bracts provide the illusion of persistent blooms for continuing seasonal interest.

Our Abelia is still working hard for #February2Frost too.

Mom, can I hold your hand…?

This is a hell of a crowd size for a protest at the Treasury Department.

People do not like Elon.

The image is digital art made up to look like a two color linocut print. It features a geometric twisting snarling tiger. It's flanked by the text "Stay Angry" and "Bite Back" that follows the contours of the tiger.

Life advice for the ages. Those doing wrong want you tired and hopeless. But stay angry. And when a chance is in front of you: bite back.

Digital plans for a real linocut. I'm anxiously awaiting a press to make this stuff possible with my RSI in my hands.

Chart showing instances of wild animals using a hamster wheel left out in the wild, with visits dominated by wild mice, followed by slugs, rats, shrews and a few frogs and snails.

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts.

The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails.

The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.

Thoughts and prayers are back on the menu.
