Popping in briefly to say I'm still alive but not planning on coming back in the near future.

I'm logging off indefinitely, dunno if/when I'll be back. I won't be checking DMs while I'm off so contact me by other methods if you need something.
Since my neighbors have been making my house shake the entire day long because they're having their roof power washed, I'm begging everyone to read the moss chapter in my book, Nature Obscura. You don't have to waste money and water and make your neighbors angry. You can let the moss grow!
Two more weeks of #完全変態 (holometabolism or complete pervert) are done, finishing off the month of May. The last two weeks include a pair of sea cucumbers who travel together once they meet and jellyfish who actually physically mate, unlike other jellies. #Invertebrates
Saimi Hanma ⚔️ サイミ@saimihanma.bsky.social · 3mo agoHere are the last 3 weeks of #完全変態 (holometabolism or complete pervert). We have bees that find orchids so sexy they want to mate with them. Then we have sea hares who form mating chains and finally gender changing green spoonworms...

@whistberry.bsky.social I think I've seen your name too much on here, I just tried spelling 'wistful' as 'whistful' haha
They painted the curbs at my park, right over the moss, and I immediately wondered whether the tardigrades in the moss also ended up red. So I collected some. We'll find out later today once they soak for awhile!
There was so much cottonwood fluff falling today it looked like it was snowing and it actually got up my nose.

I got a really fun delivery in the mail today from @rapidpunches.itch.io, thank you! I'm going to enjoy reading through all of these.
Good morning/aft/evening wherever you are bee-skees. It's my birthday soon. So here's a present for you! There'll be more later this week. I'm up to some SciArt shenanigans. If you'd like to get me something, please made a donation to Medical Aid for Palestinians at www.map.org.uk Thanks muchly 😘

Pop Goes the Water Bear: I've written a post about Sorochytrium milnesiophthora - a chytrid fungus that infects tardigrades, and how their water bear-slaying might actually be helping other microscopic animals that live on the surface of lichens. 🧪 dailyparasite.blogspot.com/2026/05/soro...

Tardigrades (also known as "water bears") have built up a reputation for being pretty much invulnerable (even though Bdelloid rotifers does...

I dunno what's in my soil, but my red-twig dogwood is now nearly as tall as my house. I'm not complaining though because it feels like I'm living in a treehouse. And the bees are very happy.

For years we've had osprey nesting in Rainier Beach, but I noticed someone had removed their nest from a utility tower and I was upset, until today, when I saw that they've returned to the neighborhood and started building a new nest right over the high school!
