Last year I started an annual move day with my son. I selected 5 good/great films to share with him as both of us are movie lovers.
Last year I introduced him to Goldfinger, In the Heat of the Night, Annie Hall, Being There, and the Goodbye Girl. 🎥🏆

Hi all.
If you've not seen we are trying to raise some funds to treat our cat Badger for a spinal tumor. We would love any support we can get. He's scheduled for his next appointment on 5 Jan.🐈⬛🧪

So glad that @americanbeetles.bsky.social took on the huge task of looking at out litter beetles from the Puerto Rico LTER site pre Hurricane Maria. Also, most of them are tiny, so bonus points for that. Can't wait to see what she finds!
