I guess today is #WomenInScienceDay Hi, I'm a scientist who *doesn't* work at a university. I study predator-prey relations for a natural resource agency, and try to inform management with the best science available! I like to think I prove there's life outside of academia. 🐺🦌

My timeline on here is drowning in bigotry and NFT scams. I'm voluntarily read/like-only here, but at this rate I'm not going to hang around much longer. If this place changes owners/policies I might be back. You can find me on other social media places 👆🏻hint.

Disperse or die.

@deathbymustelid So far it's fine. Couple of bugs but tbh I had more broken stuff on Twitter in the same time.

@HonkIfUrHoary @TheAngryOlogist Why does no one text me these things?
My friends are lame.

@Akjoeak1 Ermine the size of dogs are wolverines. I wouldn't want to fight one. 😆

[Kassie @[email protected] @TwoYaks]

I am, and have always been, on team tiny-bitey.

[Kassie @[email protected] @TwoYaks]

@BobBenn75937799 I once had an ermine size me up and try to fight me. It'd be like us trying to punch out a skyscraper. That's some serious spunk and can-do attitude.

Wildlife Twitter going places? Hopefully not extinct. 😬

Disperse or be extirpated.

[Kassie @[email protected] @TwoYaks]

@lfinnegal I'm opposed to what's going on.

[Kassie @[email protected] @TwoYaks]

@lfinnegal I like the idea of people talking is 'doing their own accent.' that's a very pleasing thought.

[Kassie @[email protected] @TwoYaks]

@lfinnegal It's a hillarious/sad dumpster fire though.

Or is it sad/hillarious?

Amid the purge of reporters, apps, and aggregators and more, I've realized most 12 year olds are less self conscious and have better emotional regulation than the chief twit.

[Kassie @[email protected] @TwoYaks]

I'm not leaving Twitter, bc watching this place burn to the ground is hilarious, but maybe I'm elsewhere too now.

For those following at home:
Directing people to queer people's homes with a wink and a nod: Free Speech
Repeating ADSB broadcasts that his plane is literally screaming into the air for anyone who listens: Hate Speech
Repeating anyone else's ADSB broadcasts: Nah man that's coo'.

A nice whitetail doing the classic "Christmas card" move, pausing just long enough for a picture in the meadow. I appreciated that pause.

Interior Alaska Birders /Naturalists:: night hike with dogs….What night time critter - likely a bird? (8pm local) has a medium frequency semi-continuous (10 minutes) warble. Too far away to record on iPhone. Not a boreal owl. Maybe magpie? Always curious. Google useless.

1/10 Chinese expulsion from Juneau thread. On Aug 5, 1886, an angry crowd confronted the Douglas Island gold mines owner & demanded the expulsion of all Chinese workers. He refused. Next day an armed mob forcibly gathered every Chinese national in the Douglas/Juneau area but one.

@janetngbio It can go well. It can also very not. We use purpose made soft clamps now, except for the r44.

It's 11 at night and I just had my eyes opened to the many Cocherain meta-analyses of acetaminophen. I knew it was very dangerous, but I had no clue it was so amazingly ineffective at almost *everything.*

How is it still sold OTC? This seems like a massive failure of regulation.

[Kassie @[email protected] @TwoYaks]

@ANC_Historian Thanks for the pointer! I haven't seen this one before. I'm trying to put it into context, but looking at the collection there's frustratingly little. A) I think this and the bear slide are from the same location. B) I suspect this is interior AK. They had a photographer in Ruby?
