I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul. she/her. Fond of plant stuff, especially trees, weird nature and beautiful nature, honestly anything that eventually involves dirt and decomposition. Definitely a furry. Disabled and sorting it out.

Excelsior! THE FOLDED SKY is just a little over two weeks away.

Here is a post I made with a bunch of places to pre-order it (including ordering signed and personalized copies) and some information on the appearances I will be doing to support it!

Sharks have urea in their blood, which means that if we spill a drop of shark blood on the floor then lab smells like burning rotten pee for a week
I teach 8-10 year olds. What's the oldest, weirdest, or grossest shark fact I could use to impress them?

@whysharksmatter.bsky.social I have a hat I would very much like you to wear (and to have, as a gift). Could you tell me a good place to donate and then I can send you the hat?

Ford was a writer’s writer.
This is one of my favorite poems of all time, written by the wonderful & greatly missed John M. Ford.

I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently. So I thought I would share it.

Me, to wife, who is afraid of spiders: Did I tell you about the spider vibrators?!
Wife: (sighing) yes.

TIL a citizen science project is documenting seagulls eating stuff; spider scientists use tiny vibrators to lure spiders out of their tunnels; bat poop can kill you if you use it to grow cannabis.

I have been awake for less than 30 minutes.

Secretarybird vs lappet-faced vulture!!!

I just got back from a reporting trip to the Masai Mara. These were two of the birds I most wanted to see and never did I imagine I’d see one kicking the other in its lappety face.

(Also, hello. Get ready for a month of Kenyan wildlife pics.)
