Pteridomaniac patriarchy-loathing anti-theistic cat lover who wants Black women to run EVERYTHING. Sorry we let them down as a nation, but I’m here to find hope and connection and effective resistance to the clustercuss to come (as well as cats and ferns!)
I call this "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" because this damselfly (bluet) is stuck to no fewer than three and possibly four Round-leaved sundews. I did feel bad for its fate!

I've decided that New York #ferns (Amauropelta noveboracensis) are Rococo little treasures in their tiny unfurling state. My partner says they remind him of illuminated manuscript art

Long beech #ferns (Phegopteris connectilis) opening up from their caterpillar-like #fiddleheads in Broome County, NY. Any fern or #entomology experts who can identify the eggs on the fern to the right in the photo with two ferns?

Hey #fungifriends, anyone know the difference between Daldinia childiae (what iNaturalist came up with) and Daldinia concentrica for this? Seems to be King Alfred’s cakes or coal fungus #fungifriday #mushrooms

Vegan/fairly healthy alternative to Snickers bars for lazy folks: Cut medjool dates in half, schmear in 🥜 butter, and top with stevia-sweetened chocolate chips and salty 🥨 bits. Fridge texture is easier on my dental work than freezing

iNaturalist tells me this is Fluffy Dust Lichen—and I want it to be true because the name is so awesome
