Happy Valentine’s Day to those sarcopterygians who celebrate:
Two lobefin fish figurines face each other, an Australian Lungfish and an African Coelacanth, with hearts between them and the text “Just Can’t Stop Lobefin You!” Yes it’s a nerdy fish pun Valentine, the author didn’t even use gars this time!

Botany valentine. Another from years past. New one on Monday!
Beautiful red roses on a pink background with flowing script saying "Roses are red," Violets budding and blooming. "Violets are blue," Hydnora plants opening up looking like terrifying red mouths bursting from the hard sandy soil. "Hydnora are leafless, bizarrely fleshy, and incapable of producing chlorophyll," A splash of cute red and pink hearts. "And so are you. Happy Valentine's Day."

While I work on this year's valentine, here's last year's.
A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a wood frog stands on a pink background. The text says: "Feeling unlucky in love? Did you know that male Wood Frogs have difficulty perceiving members of their species? Here are some things they’ve been documented trying to mate with." "Spotted Salamander." The wood frog looks at a large yellow-spotted salamander, with a heart over the frog's head. "Cattail." The frog looks amorously at a large cattail flower or "sausage." "Green frog." The wood frog looks at a large confused-looking green frog. "Dead fish." The wood frog stares at a large dead fish. "Live fish." The wood frog looks amorously at a large trout. "Pine cone." The wood frog looks at a large pine cone. The final text says: "Sorry, there's no moral here. I just thought you'd enjoy this fact about frogs."

In 1969, newly elected president Richard Nixon resolved to defund PBS and use the money to wage war in Vietnam.

Fred Rogers was summoned to testify before Congress, and what he said that day changed the course of history.

Papers I was not expecting: a study of how capitalism impacted the development of the Canadian nightcrawler industry. Unfortunately I couldn't squeeze this one in, but check out #WormWeek2024 starting tomorrow on my Tik Tok (Herptok)
