I've never seen shelf fungi like these before - strong winds brought down some large branches near me and the ones under this oak had a lot of these. They are tight against the branch so this doesn't seem to be the underside #EastCoastKin #Mushrooms #Fungi #Photography possibly oak mazegill?

They're going to *throw out* one-of-a-kind NASA archives?!
Not even a year since the Inauguration & we're already at the 2nd-time-as-farce version of the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

I just saw @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social quoting someone's description of jellyfish as "organised water", so - a reminder:
- no circulatory system
- no skeleton
- seem to “think” with their nerve-endings
- 95% water, meaning any jellyfish you see almost entirely isn’t one.
The ultimate rebel.

We've been talking about this a lot in my activism spheres. When you say things like "trans kids aren't dangerous!" (which is the stuff I deal with the most), you're still reminding people of their initial argument. Eat that frame, Kirby.
if they say something and you say that's not true, your response is still shaped like their frame
Your frame has to *contain and explain* their frame, not just contradict it.
You have to eat their frame. Like Kirby
