Haven’t posted this here yet. I’m really proud of the wind moving through the grass in the background! Somehow moreso than the butterfly wings flapping.

taking comfort in knowing that fungi (and unicellular eukaryotes) are gay as hell

Screenshot of Wikipedia article on isogamy that reads: Isogamy is a form of sexual reproduction that involves gametes of the same morphology (indistinguishable in shape and size), and is found in most unicellular eukaryotes. Because both gametes look alike, they generally cannot be classified as male or female. Instead, organisms that reproduce through isogamy are said to have different mating types, most commonly noted as "+" and "−" strains.

Another screenshot of the same article that reads: Isogamous species often have two mating types (heterothallism), but sometimes can occur between two haploid individuals that are mitotic descendents (homothallism).

I cannot get over that this is an isopod. What do you mean she lives in the ocean and looks like a stag beetle?

Please help my friend Mustafa. Everyone I’m in contact with in Gaza has been witnessing horrors almost daily. gofund.me/ddbbda73

Screenshot of a text message reading: “They burned the tents and the children died inside the tents. We are displaced in the streets. We do not know where to go. All night we were fleeing under the bombing and fire. We were sleeping, then they [swept] and burned us.

Lurid Borscht, they could never make me hate you

Screenshot of a Wikipedia image file named “Lurid Borscht.jpg”. The borscht is a bright pink liquid in a large mug/bowl. There are green floating vegetables in the soup. There is a plain peeled potato on a plate next to it. I do not have any additional context.

Unable to to share the video on this site, but communication in Gaza is largely being done with Mosque speakers. Such a heartbreaking message.

From Gaza now: Mosques are the only means of communication through speakers. ‘We have no communication with the outside world. They are using their military might to harm us. We have no power but the power of God, no one but God. Please, pray for us.’

Iggy can tell I turned 30 today. You can see in his eyes that he thinks I’m old.

An orange cat with green eyes is standing on the top level of a pink cat tower and looking directly into the camera. He knows his owner is officially old.

We got to see a native bird near my garden today. Looks like a male downy woodpecker which is great! They eat invasive and native bugs so I’m feeling proud that my plants can provide the right insects for native birds.
