can you tell us what all the species on the marsh sampler are? i love it so much!!!

yeah babey!! Row by row, from the top--

Row 1: Red-winged blackbird | Grasshopper | Mallard Ducks | Honeybee | Raccoons

Row 2: Field mouse | 💙Great Blue Heron💙| Mysterious Elegant Fish I Saw Once (species unknown) | Painted Turtle | Bald Eagle

Row 3: Swans | Crawdad (I call them 'crayfish' but at the last nature fest I took a poll and was soundly outvoted) | Killdeer | Woolly Bear | Canada Geese

Row 4: Whitetail Deer | Monarch | Specific coloration of frog I see all the time, but have never known the name of | Muskrat <3 | Snake I saw in a tree once (species unknown)

Row 5: Dragonfly | Rabbit | Green Heron | Egret | Firefly

Sorry not to have all the official full names-- I'm at the marsh all the time, so me and the animals are pretty tight, but we're not all on a first-name basis yet ;) Most of these are based off of videos and photos I've taken-- if you want to see some side-by-side comparisons, I made a little vid of em--

I'm obsessed with this, I don't know where I'm going put it yet <3

thoughts on cats

i have so many but these are what came into my brain first:

love how little domestication they've undergone compared to dogs

my favourite cats are tricolours #feminism

very much against 1) outdoor cats 2) breeding (or promoting the breeding) of any sort of flat-face cat 3) t*ylor sw*ft's brand of "cat lady" which is p much de facto animal abuse as she is guilty of #2 (she purchases breeds like munchkins and scottish folds and as a celebrity influences the popularity of such breeds) 4) declawing, if you declaw your cat someone should get to cut off your fingertips at the knuckle using a cigar clipper

send some asks that are like “thoughts on ______”

is a wētā the same as a jerusalem cricket?

Nope, they're in different families. But the same superfamily, so they are related.

every time you post about alan alda i think about this story my mom tells about my dad, who was born & raised in LA & very used to seeing celebrities, seeing mr. alda in a restaurant & feeling compelled, for the ONLY time in his whole life of encountering famous people regularly, to go up & tell him how much he liked his work. alan alda was The One for my dad.

I will forgive the cinema industry for criminally misusing Mr Alda's talents (and will forgive Mr Alda himself for doing the same for that matter!) since at least one time your dad let him know that he liked his work ❤ the only critic that matters, I have just decided!

i think you're definitely the best parent your cat could possibly have. you take really good care of him and it's obvious you know a lot about cats and veterinary medicine
