Excited to have two weeks of box turtle surveys scheduled for this spring with a bunch of local partners and an incredible wildlife detection dog team!

These are turtle shells from just one of my sites last season! All this variation in shell pattern and color from just one site is incredible.

Shouldn't it be the SAVORY sixteen??? After all, meaty carnage tends to be more savory than sweet...
Just a thought...

This made me laugh too much...

Why don't the idiots just buy the same shoe in their proper size??? It's not like the head idiot is going to know the difference...

Thanks!

The internet, on scientists: They're secretive gatekeepers, they hoard esoterica/the truth, they don't want anyone in their ivory tower little clubs

Actual scientists: LOOK, WE FOUND A 300 MILLION YEAR OLD FOSSILIZED CLOACCAL IMPRESSION AND THE VENT IS HORIZONTAL! PLZ READ MY 67-PAGE PAPER ABOUT IT

Apparently he decided the Senate needed another Manchin in it. I hope with all in me that he gets primaried in '28 so I can vote against him.

To all US military personnel -

Please be safe. If you are issued lawful orders, execute them and know the country does not hold you responsible for the policy choices of others. You have your oath and we all recognize it.

I'm so sorry you both are going through this. May she find peace, healing, and a life lived as long as she chooses.

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

But the #snowcrete might have prevented him from seeing his shadow!

Here in PA, the GOP pushed thru mail in balloting in 2020 while the Dems tried to put on the brakes/slow down the adoption to get it right. Then all the Dem voters used it so the GOP decided it was bad and they never supported it. Sigh.

Of course it would be the GOP to restrict guns.
Sigh.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Guess it's a good thing I had to head to the airport this morning, missed it completely. 🙃

An immigration attorney in Dallas representing a US citizen who was abducted by ICE is asking for help circulating this video

Immigration Makes US Great

No one does. It's 2025, land of the upside-down.

I see nothing wrong with that. Go Grandma!!!

These two things are true:
1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal.
2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

Well, the nursey rhyme does say, "the cow jumped over the Moon" so a little ol' wall should be no problem...
