I met the lovely people from @SieteFoods at an event the other day, supporting local producers of fresh, healthy food. I signed up to learn more about what they do and guess what just arrived in the mail!? #glutenfree #HealthyEating https://t.co/IcgYY01xEL

The giraffe weevil derives its name from an extended neck much like that of the common giraffe. It's sexually dimorphic, with the neck of the male typically 2 to 3 times the length of that of the female https://t.co/nWYEgsTAio [source of the gif: https://t.co/eERoF3Fa3u]

Mount Taranaki National Park has an almost perfectly circular boundary: the change in vegetation is so sharply delineated that the photos from above show an incredibly neat base https://t.co/YBgSYOeNrY

The 1927 Hermes 2000 portable Neuromancer was written on. Hemingway-grade unit that had belonged to my wife’s step-grandfather, quite the chap.
