Getting advertisements from the “learning app” Nibble, which is apparently made to guarantee you have no idea what a Red-tailed Hawk, Cedar Waxwing, Great Blue Heron, or Downy Woodpecker looks like in real life 🙄

Also, identifying birds is not ornithology (signed, an ornithologist and a birder)

Tell me we should trust AI to give us the facts. Tell me it's a future we can put our faith in. Come at me. I'm right here, waiting.

Whenever I look at an elephant skull, I realize that the images we come up with for dinosaurs are probably wrong. Nobody looking at an elephant skull would guess about that trunk existing unless you’re already familiar with elephants.

Bring 6-8 pages of comics storytelling. I'll give you feedback based on my 30 years in comics.

I'll tell you what works, what doesn't, how to tweak a panel for clarity or impact, tips for saving labor- the sort of advice your teacher at a comics class might offer. I'm not there to hire you, or read your pitch, or introduce you to a publisher. I'm there look at the pages you've drawn.

You can also use the map in the story to look up vaccination rates in your local schools! This was a HUGE data lift: we reviewed and mapped tens of thousands of individual schools’ data, assembling the most comprehensive public database. And we published this data here: github.com/washingtonpo...

I still need to make this my ringtone
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.

A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

I woke up with a pressing question: why do the Three Musketeers use swords and not, you know, muskets?

I get that there’s a bunch of artists again fleeing Twitter to come over here but I’m also a little bit like “why were you still there?”

Man, I have to say that surviving a near-death experience makes every day a new day in which I think “I am not wearing those uncomfortable underpants ever again, life is short.”
