Why did this old white lady shield her sheet cake from me when I stopped to let her cross the parking lot at Sam's club? It definitely came off as being afraid I was going to steal it from her

Usually, when we garden we want perfect leaves, lush growth , big flowers, and no problems. There are whole breeding programs devoted to providing consumers with all those things. A lot of big box stores carry things like "proven winners" and such. There are multi-billion dollar industries 🧵

I hear y'all like birds, so here's a bird. It's an African spotted eagle owl. Which is kind of two birds if you think about it. Even though it's one bird. And not an eagle at all, and totally just an owl. Shut up. (I got to do some falconry in Ireland and it is a delight. This bird was the best.)

Landscape-oriented photo -- pretty tight close up on the face of a spotted African eagle owl, which is not an eagle, and is an owl, and it's from Africa, but raised in Ireland. The bird has a dappling of brown and coffee cream feathers, and a bold yellow supernatural eye ringed by the featheriest feathers that ever did feather. In his black beak he -- er, actually, she, I think her name was Lulu -- has a little chicken leg/foot jutting out, all pinky-orangey-fleshy-colored. It's probably from a baby chicken. I dunno. Don't judge. Let the owl enjoy things. Don't bother her. She just wants her li'l chicken snack. Photo by me, Chuck Wendig.

Acorn ants, Temnothorax curvispinosus, in an old acorn in Illinois. They need an acorn in a particular stage of decay, usually a year old and already hollowed out. If you're looking for acorn ants, you won't find them in the fresh ones.

OH MY FUCK THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT

Rabbi Yirmeya raises a dilemma: If one leg of the chick was within fifty cubits of the dovecote, and one leg was beyond fifty cubits, what is the halakha? The Gemara comments: And it was for his question about this far-fetched scenario that they removed Rabbi Yirmeya from the study hall, as he was apparently wasting the Sages’ time.

I got sober about five months after Craig Ferguson did this monologue. Must’ve watched this clip a thousand times in those early days. Hard to remember now, but not many admirable people talked publicly about sobriety circa 2007 — or had compassion for a young woman in crisis. This was invaluable. 🙏

On a rainy day a Downy Woodpecker was shocked to discover the suet feeder was completely empty! He noticed the finches were eating from a round thing and checked it out. The finches left. A Carolina Chickadee was brave and came to share the round feeder and the woodpecker liked the safflower seeds!🪶
