As a science major, I do not write on social media because I am being trained out of recognition and learning how to talk in a way you can ignore.

Wow! This place is so visually confusing. I don't know what I'm looking at! It looks like a composite image!

It looks as though there was an easter hunt in this forest. Evidently, not everything was found.

Today is my darling’s 11th hatchday!!!

We’ve been together since I was in fifth grade. Now she is a fifth grader herself! What a wondrous thing… I often tell children that she is older than them, they seem to have trouble believing it too.

The significance of this hatchday is second only to the day in which she came into being. This is the turning point, where I am 22 and she is 11. This bird has been by my side for half of my life.

From now on each year of her life will be an overlap of mine. I will remember how it felt to be together with her when I was her age. It makes me so happy, at last I feel the length of her life and I see that she has lived well… ۶°◝⁾໒꒱و

I saw some city pigeons partake in natural browsing activity and it freaked me OUT. It's just that I've never seen a pigeon peck at a bush?! In spite of my lifelong experience in urban birdwatching. I did not expect them to, ah, stay on the ground and crane their heads like giraffes. I am confused just looking at this photo.

Ah, I found this photo I took of a sign at a community center within the Imizamo Yethu township of South Africa.

These are good rules, I think we should adopt them elsewhere. I am particularly fond of “No Extreme Loud Music” (loud music is ok) and “No Arguing”.

I attended a mushroom ID class taught by the mushroom expert who wrote the field guide for my region!! It was 8 hours long with plenty of time to draw and talk with myco society acquaintances.

The inocybe in orange smells of green corn.

Biology student finds creationist book in a curbside book depository. I particularly enjoyed this description of evolution:

FROG t=instantaneous → PRINCE = NURSERY TALE FROG t=300 million years → PRINCE = SCIENCE
