I still use hunting atlases for rural areas (IA & MN) - great for backroads and IDing public lands

My dad always complains when the birds start lining up on the telephone wires - which is August so it’s a long grudge….

We got them yesterday!!! 😃

Yesterday all our winter friends appeared on the Haiku box - juncos, white throated sparrows and brown creepers - YAY!

Oh hey. It’s October now. Did you get an advent calendar that educates you about snails while helping us educate people in Philly about our local biodiversity? Not yet?? Well what are you waiting for? It’s time for snail facts! SquidFacts.net

An 11 x 14” poster that is titled snail facts and advent calendar with 24 snail shells that you can scratch off featured a bunch of cutie patootie snails, like the candy, cane, snail and fire, snail and banana, slug and sea slugs and even

Why is it the people that dont bother to fill out scheduling surveys on time are also the ones that get butt-hurt when scheduling surveys dont work and/or you schedule the meeting when they cannot make it?

Yeah good bags are hard to come by!

I once tracked down an instructor and she assured me that she only allowed one student to interview each instructor. But there are 65 sections!

well crap - the english department has revived the "Interview a professor" assignment

Occasionally I am forced to watch BBT and I am convinced that paint drying would be more entertaining and I like a lot of garbage shows. Bob’s Burgers and Pysch were robbed tho

Maybe phone books will return 🤞

How did I forget that I need to start looking for my winter friends - white throated sparrows and juncos! Fall is not just for saying goodbye

Lori Biederman @lbiederman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I pretty much run into this everywhere in Iowa and MN - drive thru line at wherever wrapped around the building - I walk in and literally no one in the restaurant.

Lori Biederman @lbiederman.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Yeah - the Mariah song is inescapable- I have literally never heard this

100% I don’t mind the every few weeks/monthy advert but multiple times a day - nope

To me what is most annoying is that blue bonnets are not going to be flowering in that sort of situation (too much competition) or at the same time as all of those other plants.

this made my day - thanks for posting!

I’ll have to check that out when I get to a computer 1 not loading on my phone 😔

Actually AI is not a terrible idea - I’ve seen the first graph again, embarrassingly bad power point graphics of the methods, random pics of the internet (unattributed) of study organisms with arrows between them. AI couldn’t be worse (environmental externalities aside)

Lori Biederman @lbiederman.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I really hate graphical abstracts - I’ve reviewed ONE that was good - many that were terrible.

Heck we can’t even stream an old Bob’s Burgers episode without seeing all the ads. It’s going to be a long october

Lori Biederman @lbiederman.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Until relatively recently we had to do our own webpages - now some people are grumpy but I approve of them

Lori Biederman @lbiederman.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Right? Only people who were featured in the alumni magazine had cool pictures - the rest of us had pictures taken outside the building by staff

Lori Biederman @lbiederman.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Yeah but you are charged for this service

Lori Biederman @lbiederman.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

from what I understood when I was there the real ROTC people hated those guys

Lori Biederman @lbiederman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Yeah I currently live in Iowa and my neighbors were telling me stories - MN as a college freshman sounded way more fun

Lori Biederman @lbiederman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Because no other state had the Halloween Blizzard of ‘91

Happy should be prone 🤦‍♀️ idk how that happened

I sort of feel like we are at the edge of this though. I am not happy to vandalism at all (I am over 50 & love order) but even I am tempted to take a baseball bat to these MFing things. Ive worked out what angle I would use to approach them & what order I would take them out as to not get caught

There was a social media site - post? Maybe? - there was a way to pay to read by the article and it was super cleaver and I liked it but it never caught on

We keep those windows open a crack until we just can’t stand it any more - love those little guys

Lori Biederman @lbiederman.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Usually we have one in the windows above the sink (always named Hornburger) - this year there are 2! One on each side 😃

Generally I’m with you - paw patrol is not my bag but I’ve seen a few episodes & it’s not terrible. You lost me at caillou - that show focuses on a whiny brat & kids would turn into whiny brats after watching it. Also prestreaming it was the only thing on during critical I need to shower time

Lori Biederman @lbiederman.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Your probably referring to the ads but our Covid money paid for that ball field in the middle of nowhere so that is also a travesty

I am sad that I spent all that glorious summer free time in the basement watching TV (in my case it was reruns of 60s comedies)

Lori Biederman @lbiederman.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Have you tried the Novavax one? - I tolerate it so much better. They are harder to find but Costco now has them (and you don’t need a membership to get them)

Lori Biederman @lbiederman.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Or at least they should tell you when you agree that these are the questions we want answered

Exactly!!! Especially for a summer internship for freshmen!

I think there are 2 stalins too - one is way back there. Near a guy that looks like jesus (???)

I walk around like an idiot doing arm circles - also helps (also how was that an exercise in elementary school?)

I shudder to think what that crap does to lung tissue - we are going to find out in 20 years it causes lung cancer

They could solve mysteries ala the Brooke Shields delightfully silly cozy mystery shows
