THE BIRDING DICTIONARY, a small and dare I say very funny book, comes out May 6. Preorder it wherever you love to buy books. I think this will make a good gift for any birder, funny person, or parrot who enjoys shredding things.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

some Oudemansiella species can look like they’re growing right from the soil, but all it takes is determined digging to see that what you’ve got is an iceberg among mushrooms, and it’s growing from buried deadwood sometimes as deep as a 6 inches beneath the surface!

‘bleeding tooth’ fungi i encountered in Oaxaca a couple augusts ago. these mushrooms are know for their blood red guttation, that is, the excess liquid they exude as a metabolic byproduct (like when we sweat!)

low-key obsessed that O. sinensis can do both, that is-- live on a plant as an endophyte till it gets munched by its eventual lepidopteran host!🥰

Ophiocordyceps sinensis, the #caterpillar #fungus, has a fascinating dual lifestyle. It is both an #endophytic and #entomopathogenic fungus.
The fungus produces spores that settle on vegetation, and when ghost moth larvae feed on contaminated plant material, the fungus becomes parasitic.

For too long the rage that sits, simmering within people across the United States has been stuffed down, delegitimized, squashed.
But we need it. We need it now. And we need vehicles to allow its unleashing to topple oligarchs and help usher in a new era.
