I have three cats, one leopard gecko, and lots of fish, bugs, and plants.
Tired a lot.

This is probably my last unreleased heart melting footage of 2025, the rest will have to wait till next year.

Stop scrolling and enjoy one of the cutest near threatened birbs in nature engaging in the cutest act.

After 3 years monitoring them, I finally caught snow plovers hiding under mama. 🪶 🐣

Newly released documents from the 1992 "X case" show that Irish government officials were concerned that women who left Ireland to access abortion services overseas could face penalties when they returned.
Officials feared Irish women travelling for abortion could be prosecuted on return
In wake of X case and 1992 referendum, fresh restrictions - including injunctions on travel - caused concern

Remember #mycophiles, keep an eye out for cute Peteserpes (left) & Pseudopolydesmus (right) millipedes when you are turning over logs to look for winter 🍄‍🟫. Also, put the logs back the way you found them after taking 📸 as they represent important overwintering habitats! @derekhennen.bsky.social

Spent some time today participating in @inaturalist.bsky.social ID-a-thon. Putting observations in bins (Insect, Bird, Fungi, etc.), moves things from Unknown to something that will get an expert’s attention. TIL about Jack Jumper Ants in Tasmania! 🌿https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/332645054

U.N. and Palestinian officials estimate at least 300,000 new tents are urgently needed for about 1.5 million Palestinians still displaced by Israel’s assault, as Israel continues to block the importation of shelters and other aid.

If you buy a hot snake on a whim, you deserve what’s going to happen to you, but the snake really doesn’t.
I’m learning today that much like clownfish after Finding Nemo, there is now a boom in sales of tree vipers after the release of Zootopia 2.

Flowers of Aristolochia are weird & wonderful. I find them irresistible. (Doesn’t everyone?) This is A. grandiflora, with its large, saxophone-shaped flowers, each with a long, tail-like lobe. #Aristolochiaceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

The J6 Pipe Bomber stated that the reason he placed the pipe bombs at the DNC & RNC because he believed that the 2020 election was stolen, & no one in Congress was taking it seriously.
Now who was the one that kept on saying that the election was stolen??

I am not sure how I feel about this. In one way, I would love it if captive Orcas sought revenge against their captors for their horrific captivity. On the other hand, Orcas in the wild have NEVER killed a human, so I fear this will do for them what Jaws did for sharks.
