Fungal Misadventure (a story in the form of a Bluesky thread)
"Have you ever wondered?" he asked, as they picked mushrooms in the forest near her house. "How many people died from fungal misadventure during prehistory before we found out which of these were safe to eat?"

Have you seen a movie or a series that had a real monkey or ape (or one you think might be real) "actor" in it recently?
I am compiling a list of such productions released since 2014 and could use your help (I am searching methodically but want to be sure I don't miss anything) (1/2) ...

Painted woolly bats are listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. Ornamental trade is the top threat they face, and several lines of evidence point to steep declines in at least some populations.
We are doing everything we can to stop the trade.

Painted bats belong alive in the wild — not dead on walls.
Tell Amazon to stop selling painted woolly bats so their populations can again flourish in the wild — where they belong.

Any shares of this much appreciated! When my ex-publishers collapsed, taking over £20,000 of my earnings with them into the void, all my books suffered but none more than 1983. This is me trying to repair that. It’s about:

Hello! My CEO Roscoe and I are giving away TWO signed copies of my novel 1983 to two randomly selected people who repost this & pop a reply below. You also get a free postcard of this illustration of Roscoe by my mum.
It’s been called “Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut & Sue Townsend”…

"Come on in, the water is beautiful & your autism will be cured," says Robert Kennedy Jr, as he swims with his family in a sewage plant. It is at this point that I see a tiny worm swimming frantically to shore. "I quit!" says the worm. "I'm finding another brain. This guy is nuts enough without me."

In other words, the United States tried to kill them but has no evidence that they have done anything wrong (even after getting to interrogate them in person).
What the regime is doing isn't going after drug cartels; it is murdering innocent people just to scare other innocent people. Disgusting.

This is a genuine question - I hope for some kind and thoughtful answers. Why did they start #YourParty instead of joining the #GreenParty? Wouldn't there be more strength and better chances of defeating the right if these two were unified? What are the fundamental differences?

Last month, in the mountains of central Taiwan, we found a stage in the middle of a small town, and though they had no common spoken language, my Irish and Taiwanese travelling companions had no problem with understanding each other with a quick Irish dance lesson 💕
