One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

A poster on 8.5 x 11 inch paper saga Fishtown fish facts: red lipped catfish or of ocephalus Darwini. Then a pic of that freaky fish with 4 limbs it rests on the ground and then the words “stg this fish real red-lipped batfish walk ocean floor with they flippers RLBF have RBF, not they fault
RLBF have a bioluminescent lure that glows to attract dinner
RLBF lipgloss is popping, RLBF lipgloss is cool, all the fish keep jockin, they chase RLBF after school
RLBF got scales like armor and shine bright like a diamond
Red-lipped batfish will teach you how to dougie, I can promise u that.

Has to be Santa Barbara - the next thing further north on the coast is Vandenberg AFB and it wouldn’t be lit up like that.

Best guess is that it has mange so definitely not healthy. But like I said, that posture, the feet, apparent size and head shape all indicate raccoon. I’d stake my reputation as an Interpretive Nature Guide and educator in it.

Late in the season - we’ve had plenty of below freezing nights (as low as 20° F) and even a couple of snows, but this Morning Glory Plume Moth was hanging out on the back door the other night when it was milder. #Dispatchesfromtheforest #moth #invertebrate #nature #naturenerd #podcast

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑 Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for. We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

Badgers would have a much shorter legs and a broader head. This is a raccoon.

Size, face shape, stance, but most of all the feet all say raccoon. Not a healthy one, but a raccoon.

It’s a raccoon - although it looks like it may not be healthy. Mange maybe but it’s hard to tell.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

I love these guys even though they like to spin their webs at face height across gaps in the forest. Trails. Trails are gaps in the forest. I like to mountain bike. You do the math.

This is the result of decades of civic poisoning by Fox News and right-wing echo chambers and channels.

A screenshot of a post on X by user Suzie Rizzo (@SUZIERIZZO1
). The post includes a text graphic with an orange background and black text that reads: "WHEN did America become a place where people take joy in suffering? Celebrating job losses, cheering immigrant arrests, ignoring terrified schoolchildren, and applauding when neighbors lose public assistance—what happened to basic human decency?" Above the graphic, Suzie Rizzo's comment reads: "Anyone want to answer this??? "

The Wings did not win on fightaversary eve, but Wings head coach Todd McLellan and I shared an intimate moment during the game (even if he didn’t know it)

A cartoon turtle holding a hockey stick with its head in its shell and the words “Detroit Turtle Day Established March 26, 1997” commemorating the day Mario Lemieux of the Colorado Avalanche got an epic beat down.

Coyotes naturally expanded the range when we eliminated wolves. Yes, some breed with dogs. But there is no evidence that they were ever, anywhere, INTENTIONALLY released as a management strategy for another animal.
