Today I imagined myself as Arthur Smith from Elif Shafak’s “There Are Rivers in the Sky”, except for the wicked intellect, poverty, extremely polluted Thames, magical raindrop, etc. But I did get a bonus bevy of swans, and a suitcase full of “sea” glass.
Excellent editorial in local newspaper about Illinois farming’s future, and that of our environment.

It may be surprising to some that there are thousands of undescribed species just sitting in museums awaiting description. One of the main reasons this problem exists is that taxonomy is undervalued and underfunded, a trend that coincides with the devaluing of studies on natural history.
One of the quiet bright moments of lockdown was Sam Neill serenading us on the ukulele. This type of tenderness feels rare nowadays, how lucky we were. Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️

Dozens of Black-Veined White butterflies (Aporia crataeai) swarm a kayak by the Vagran River in the Ural Mountains of Russia. 🦋 The butterflies are attracted to the salt from human sweat on the kayaker's gear and clothing. This happens in early summer when these butterflies emerge. #butterfly

As I am cooking the 12yo hollers, “MOMMY! Instituting yeeting protocol!” Then he marches through the kitchen to the back door with his hands cupped, to carefully evict some invertebrate according to Franz’ instructions.
franz@franzanth.bsky.social · 2y agoSomeone was surprised to learn that I yeet bugs out instead of *gently relocating* them. I appreciate the gesture. But in the tropics, seeing bugs where they shouldn't be is an hourly—not weekly thing. You learn what can survive a yeet to save time. In this thread I'm rating animal yeetability.
Did I commission a watercolor painting of the algae-filled reflecting pool from the incomparable @artologica.net? Yes. Yes, I did. It is just as amazing as you'd expect. Now to build a frame for it.
T: “H beat them out in one day, took over…” R: “Sh*# , same in NL, so that means…” (We were liberated - at least my hometown - by brave Canadians. Royal family found shelter in Canada & UK. But not sure T would grasp that “nuance”.)
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoTrump: "Greenland is very important for the United States, but it's not important for Denmark. In fact, when Denmark was overrun by the Nazis in less than one day -- Hitler beat them out in one day, took over -- they asked us to take care of Greenland. We shouldn't have given it back to them."
