Twitter is now owned by Elon Musk 🤮, which means this will be my last post here. His plans to reduce limitations and penalties for bullying and hate speech means this platform is no longer safe for me. If you want to stay connected, please come catch me in on insta: DrRaeO ❤️🐝

@JodyBugsMeUNL Aw! I kept one as a pet for almost 2 years while in grad school! Very cool critters.
