This thread is an all-timer. Nothing better than seeing animals ingeniously exploit a built world designed to exclude them.

It does your mental health a lot of good to dig around in the dirt every once in a while and look at earth worms and bugs and stuff like that. Basically if youre feeling all fucked up you need to dig a hole

In college, in a bathroom in one of the campus eateries: someone had originally written MY DICK IS HUGE, but it had been altered to read MY DICK IS A HUGUENOT. Unbeatable.

What's your favourite piece of graffiti? I don't know if mine still exists, but there used to be one saying "Lubię rosół". Which translates as "I like chicken noodle soup". How could you not?

@jeffvandermeer Beautiful gall there! One of my favorite weird nature phenomena.

@Casein_Micelles Only on mobile, though- I could see them on the computer.

[Monikah @schmonikah]

@Casein_Micelles Wait, this happened to me with my husband too! It stayed like that for several months, then randomly fixed itself last week.

[Monikah @schmonikah]

@squishythings OMG IT'S HAPPENING!!!

@WeCouldTestThat I really need to read the rest of the trilogy! I remember enjoying Oryx and Crake, but it was a long time ago.

@idlewild_ Oh god, now I'm just thinking about the consequences if I threw a bunch of loose eggs in my hiking backpack and then forgot about them until my next hiking trip 🤢

we need a social network for plants. you log on and see how your favorite plants are doing. cant post regualr bullshit on there only pics of plants. if you post some other shit you're banned. and its ok to post your dinner there too but only if you cooked it. no restaurant shit

[Monikah @schmonikah]

@Casein_Micelles I'm so sorry. Every time someone comes at me with judgy "reminders" but no help I'm tempted to start listing all the other things I'm fully aware that I need to do, but it just isn't going to happen in the current circumstances. The list would never end. Maybe then they'd get it.

GOD i love medieval zoology
"what happens to storks in winter?"
"oh, they turn into mice."
THAT WAS THE GUESS INSTEAD OF "MIGRATING"

@skwinnicki Same! My vitamin D never did become normal, even eight years post diagnosis.

Bald Eagles are way more common here (and elsewhere) than they used to be, but I'm always super excited to see them- the very fact that their populations have recovered so much is amazing, and a testament to the power we have to correct at least some of our mistakes.

[Monikah @schmonikah]

Just glanced at two birds circling high outside my window and something clicked as "not the usual"- my partner ran for the binoculars, and turns out we had a pair of Bald Eagles over our house today! A very cool addition to my home list.
