It seems like we have lots of new users. Welcome! I post mostly #photography, and most of that is #Macro of buggies/ #spiders/ #nature, but also #cats, #skies, and random things. Other things get posted too, science, #art, #games, #random thoughts and occasional #silliness.

Things I learned this weekend: how to identify #blueberry bushes while driving. They are quite distinctively crimson this time of year and are VERY abundant in #SouthGeorgia 😁

🌱 I think I forgot to share that my Selenicereus grandiflorus produced a fruit. Mildly sweet and refreshing, like dragon fruit. Those spines are something, though. 😬

Periodical cicadas get bigger and fatter the further south you get. Is it because our food is so good? Or because our trees are extra tasty? Or do they just love the heat? Idk, read the paper. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Indi is one of the people in very dire straits due to administrative snags. Georgia hasn’t processed her EBT card and she’s navigating the Byzantian healthcare system.
If you’ve got a few bucks to spare, it’s gratefully appreciated.

One of my favorite marine snails on the Georgia coast, the knobbed whelk (Busycon carica), a bivalve-killing predator that lives in sandy shallow-marine environments, but is occasionally seen buried (by its burrowing) in intertidal zones. 🧪🌊🐌

Its cool that a lot of senators just straight up dont understand how healthcare works in this country
"A development that appeared to break the logjam: Republicans proposed that healthcare funding be provided directly to households rather than used to pay for a 1-year extension of ACA subsidies. That involves sending federal money into FSAs instead of insurance companies" www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Republicans Pitch Alternative to ACA Extension to End Government Shutdown
