I picked this book up to skim it for curiosity’s sake and it’s one of the best things I’ve read this year

Why would the dog eat the brand-new 1/4-bagel I gave her this morning when she could dig up the one she buried yesterday and eat that 🤔

Grateful to have this little poem (and one other) in Waltz today, in the company of other poets whose work I love.
The cover of Birds of North America, featuring a painted bunting and indigo bunting and maybe an Eastern bluebird. See a more accessible version here: Birds of North America - Waltz https://share.google/vYScMCx0mdsVa4z3x

There’s a spot in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where you can see #publicart of the Virgin Mary, Rachel Carson, and some cephalopods within a few minutes walk 👍
Statue of a tranquil Virgin Mary, on a concrete pedestal, with flowers around her. Someone has given her a miraculous medal. She has sunburst lichen on her head.The scientist and author Rachel Carson, cast in metal (which, a sign warns, gets hot). She is taking notes while looking out on the sea. She is also, uncannily, about 3/4 life size.Metal cephalopods displayed on a “keep off the dock” fence

Ospreys are disappearing along the US East Coast due to a shortage of Atlantic menhaden, a crucial food source for ospreys. One company alone harvested nearly 300 million pounds of the fish in 2024 but somehow claims they’re not at fault. 🧐

Ospreys are disappearing along the East Coast. Scientists think they know why.
At the center of a widening crisis for one of the nation's great wildlife comebacks is a fish most Americans would hardly recognize.

“Middlemarch” really does have mind-altering properties. ( @ohioan49.bsky.social )
First paragraph of chapter 19 of George Eliot’s Middlemarch

“When George the Fourth was still reigning over the privacies of Wind-sor, when the Duke of Wellington was prime minister and Mr. Vincy was mayor of the old corporation in Middlemarch, Mrs. Casaubon, born Dorothea Brooke, had taken her wedding journey to Rome. In those days the world in general was more ignorant of good and evil by forty years than it is at present. Travellers did not often carry full information on Christian art either in their heads or their pockets, and even the most brilliant English critic of the day mistook the flower-flushed tomb of the ascended Virgin for an ornamental vase due to the painter's fancy. Romanticism, which has helped to fill some dull blanks with love and knowledge, had not yet penetrated the times with its leaven and entered into everybody's food; it was fermenting still as a distin-guishable, vigorous enthusiasm in certain long-haired German artists at Rome, and the youth of other nations who worked or idled near them were sometimes caught in the spreading movement.”

Shout out to the piebald dachshund wearing a little houndstooth coat. Masterful pattern clashing and puns for the win.

Something that’s amazing about coastlines is the two stripes of green in this photo are totally different types of plant. So close, so distinct. 🌱
