Did you know that cacti are dicots? Look at these Cylindropuntia imbricata (tree cholla) seedlings. See that little guy between the two cotyledons (embryonic leaves) on the lower one? That’s the beginning of the chonky stem n spines. #nativeplants

Dilemma: a way to plant wildflowers in Colorado is to sow the seeds just before a big snow storm. This way they get cold stratified and watered.
But I'm beginning to suspect that we may not get that sort of weather this February.
I'm going to have to stratify them in the fridge, aren't, I?

Ugh. This affects libraries that aren't connected to a government institution (so NOT city/county/state institutions).
Passport processing is a hugely popular library service.

So the feds, who will arrest you for not carrying proof of citizenship, and who want to prevent you from voting if you don’t show ID, are now arbitrarily making it harder for citizens to get a passport.
Probably just a coincidence.

Not naming names, but I was just at a library that had most of their cookbooks under DDC 641.5 (general cookbooks) rather than appropriately classifying by things like baking or special diets. Made for really weird browsing.

I'm doing bilingual storytime for the first time next week, but they only gave me books in English. It took a surprising amount of time to find a good Spanish or Spanish-English book about/with dinosaurs at the right reading level.

Colorado has started putting polling places in prisons, and people have been voting at really high rates there!
This is great. They should also be able to vote while in prison.
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger endorsed a constitutional amendment to automatically restore voting rights to people with felony convictions when they leave prison. State lawmakers passed the amendment and it will now appear on the state ballot.
