Birdsky, can anybody tell me why apparently every brown-headed cowbird in the state of Nebraska convened in a very circumscribed portion of the Omaha Airport south parking lot? @rosemarymosco.com? @foxfeather.bsky.social? @tkingfisher.com?

@greenleejw.bsky.social found this in “The Notebook” (R Allen, 2023) and naturally thought of you; image credit adds “in a copy of Bell’s common place book, British Library BLL01018056123”. Eels are everywhere!

Sidewalk axolotl, after @ethankocak.com

A sidewalk chalk drawing of a cheerfully vacuous pink axolotl being held at arms length, pictured with Ethan Kocak’s book “Moistly Harmless” - on whose cover drawing it is based - and a box of chalk

Never ask a man his salary, a woman her age, or an AI whether this mushroom is safe to eat.

I think it's important to continuously reiterate that federal science funding grants in the US (and elsewhere) are made because the government, with the input of panels of independent experts, have concluded that the work being done is IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION.

If you need to hear this: Money for Federal employees or grants does not actually disappear into a black hole. It is spent. Wages go for housing, food, consumer goods, taxes; grants go for supplies, maintanance. All of this money returns to the economy. It’s how economies work.
