The polar opposite of corporate accounts trying to come across as hip and super friendly are the ones for libraries, aquariums, parks systems and the like, that are basically just trying to get people excited about learning and the wonder of history/science by posting things like this:

You know how much I would lose my mind if I was at an aquarium and turned a corner to see a wild ass heron staring at a fish tank

As a kid you see seahorses in cartoons as actual underwater horses for the fish people to ride on and it makes u never really realize how fucking weird seahorses actually are. Forget the horse part and just look at this fish. It’s a serpentine type fish like an eel, with a tube shaped body, but it’s stuck in a stiff C shape and can mostly only articulate its head and tail. So it swims standing upright. With its weird tiny hummingbird fins. Is this weird to anyone else

it's also kind of hard to get until you see it but they are literally just barely wrapped around their skeletons. there is no extra meat there.

a tiny bony as hell animal with a prehensile tail that is incapable of swimming like other fish (so they cling to seaweed and coral). they can do mpreg. some of them are ambush predators. nobody does this like them

Blouse is actually very lightweight and breathable, yet offers some sun protection to my shoulders! The black jeans in 85° weather are... Less ideal.

(It does not help that I switched to sturdier boots. Yay comfortable shoes and tick protection but my feet are WARM.)

Birding after leaf out is so great. I love it when brightly colorful things are screaming all around me and I can't fucking see them!

Stayed with my parents last night, and my mother told me that the goldfinch would be by to tap on my window in the morning... It's not that I didn't believe her, but I was still a bit surprised when I was in bed and

I'm at my boyfriend's house, and last night when we discussed dinner plans, he didn't have much in the fridge for vegetables, but he DOES have a yard in the process of rewilding, so yum! sauteed violet greens as a side
