I finally found time to pick up a guitar and pick.

"They're breaking beams and crosses with a spastic's reelin' perfection.
Nuns run bald through Vatican halls pregnant, pleading immaculate conception.
And everybody's wrecked on Main Street from drinking unholy blood."

One of my many scribbles as I try to parse out the Panicum species of Indiana.

Went to Chicago yesterday to see the brilliant Sean Rowe and the opening act, @socialanimals.bsky.social was absolutely banging. Make sure to throw them on your Playlist.

Social Animals.

Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice... reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential - Bonhoeffer

Cistaceae strong in Indiana. I luv the Lechea species but was equally excited when we found Crocanthemum bicknellii.
Here in a remnant sand savanna we had Lechea pulchella, L. minor, & Crocanthemum bicknellii growing together.

I don't exactly get excited when my pants are covered with Desmodium loments. Anyway, here are four species (D. canescens, marilandica, perplexum, and sessilifolium) I picked off my pants.

This Ontholestes cingulatus (gold-n-brown rove beetle) isn't just a cool beetle cuz it roves around in dung. It is cool because of its sinister mandible stache.

Oh, Onthno = poop and lestes = predator. A great nickname for your toddler!

Control by @pedrothelion.bsky.social was most definitely in my top ten most influential albums. This ^^^ is my first post on Bluesky. #indieclassic #indiemusic #pedrothelion
