DO NOT TOUCH WILDLIFE. DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE AND HABITUATE IT TO HANGING OUT AROUND HUMANS. DO NOT HANDLE WOUNDED WILDLIFE, CALL A PROFESSIONAL.

EXTREMELY DO NOT BREASTFEED BATS.

For those that don't know: Rabies can be treated, but not after you show symptoms. Once you show signs of infection you are dead man walking.

The upshot? Twenty bus routes altered, another 15 eliminated, and a light-rail line that will stop at its halfway point, requiring a transfer to get from Clackamas Town Center to downtown Portland.

We are all in a state of constant panic and terror. It’s important to take a second when you see something online that triggers you to ask yourself “am it really triggered or am I just experiencing nonstop psychic damage from the world and my brain sees this as an outlet for my fear and rage.”

Despite being ill I think this first formation #paleostream of the year turned out pretty good.
The Upper Elliot Formation from the early Jurassic of South Africa is an important piece for our understanding of sauropod evolution but beyond that it's just a really cool assemblage...

Aiming for a Brambly Hedge-ish January

Illustration from Brambly Hedge by author and illustrator Jill Barklem, featuring mice in clothes warming themselves and eating by a roaring, mouse-sized fireplace on a cold night. The scene is extremely cosy.

We interrupt this program with wall to wall coverage of #Conks. Big conks, oddly shaped conks, #Guttating conks, actively being parasitized conks.
You want 'em, we've got 'em!

Some restrictions apply...mostly Red-belted conk looking species

Due to their massive size I still have some doubts as to if this specimen, along with it's 2 friends are/were Red Belted Conks. Image 2 of this post is of one of those friends found on the same dead standing tree with the other having been destroyed earlier this year when a large section of the host tree collapsed and took it with it. Composite of 9 images.

The underside of the other massive red belted conk remaining on this tree. Look at that guttation!! Composite of 13 images.

En kvinna, utklädd till rosa Power Ranger, hackade datingsida för högerextrema. Hon raderade hela sidan, men först fick hon användarna att bli kära i AI-botar som hon drev och fick på så sätt ut information om dem. Över 8000 högerextrema profiler har nu kartlagts.
