Everyone in my life gives me shit for running in the rain (and consequently taking the occasional spill on wet leaves), but how else are you going to see a splendid post rain boxie?

She was trying to cross a busy street here in Alexandria and I love her $250 bucks in supplies later, I can very much say this crab could not have found a better sucker to rescue her off the street

Headed home from #evol2026, my last one as the Chief Meeting Organizer. I have so much gratitude to this community of amazing people. I hope you all feel as energized as I do. I didn’t get many pictures, so please enjoy this groundhog I saw by the Noble Beast

Guess what jerk got in the cat tree to steal wet food from her enfeebled sibling. Guess who would 100% do it again

And now my turn in the hot seat. Hex is still mad about the vet and sleeping in the Hate Perch.

Everything is quite bad, but it’s still fun to run past a long line of cars. Doubly so in ice spikes. And snow fetch remains undefeated.

This was a little disappointing. Very good insights on the mentality of tech billionaires. But struggles a bit with the balance of being about billionaires or about how billionaires twist science to serve their aims. So the synthesis feels a bit light. Still enjoyed; worth reading.

Years ago, a friend got us a Christmas moth squishmallow for our daughter. Years later, our hound took it, used it, and eventually shredded it. This Christmas, we stocked up on Crimbo Moths for years to come. Please, enjoy this face that says “I will definitely not destroy this expensive ass moth”

I’ll miss the dog park the most. My pictures don’t do justice to how nice this view is.

Forgotten feeling of running somewhere with an actual winter: your pigtails freezing to your shirt just over your shoulder blades. Hell yeah, winter.

One of the major take away for this paper, I would say, is similar to what @daveyfwright.bsky.social and Melanie Hopkins found in this one: that continuous and discrete traits often contribute very different signal to an analysis, and explore treespace differently bsky.app/profile/dave...

Finally got around to reading something be CJ Cherryh, after reading it recommended in a LeGuin interview. A bit wordier than I prefer, but if you like Anne Leckie, it’s up your alley. Ship comes out of hyperspace in the wrong place and must make peace with the residents of the only nearby planet

Finally able to nab @restingdinoface.bsky.social’s When the Earth Was Green from the library. Despite not being a botanist, plant evolutionary history is one of my favorite topics to teach. What a lovely and meditative walk through the entangled history of plants, animals, and the larger environment
