“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Our new #beenome preprint is out! Protandrena passiflorae is a cool specialist pollinator that only visits Passiflora lutea, a subtle vine with small yellow flowers.

Finally deactivated X/twitter.
My sleep schedule has been off and struggling - logged in at two am this morning and there were awful gruesome photos.
No thank you. And now I’m clearly not getting back to sleep.

It’s true, god save our Normans
Normans form the foundations of knowledge for so many groups of life. For millipedes, our Norman here in the US was Leslie Hubricht, a snail specialist who collected many specimens and sent them to Richard Hoffman in Virginia. Hoffman named many species in honor of Hubricht.
I loved working on this story for @nzgeo.bsky.social—it's one of the few happy stories about the natural world that I've been able to write. A true delight.

No more flights scheduled for 2024 - so it’s annual flight stats time! Got most of my information loaded into a new app too.
Only two trips planned so far for 2025. need to get more things on the schedule 😅

#Education resource! Over the years I created this collection of colored skull #3Dmodels for teaching. They're available to download on MorphoSource & to view on Sketchfab. Because of recent changes to Sketchfab, I migrated them to my website: www.graysvertebrateanatomy.com/work/colorso... (1/3)

if anyone knows about great Black Friday deals that don’t involve companies like Amazon, and especially do include deals very small businesses or individual, drop them here.

Also why is it so cold outside? This is the south. It shouldn’t be 32f out! It’s too early in the year for my heat bill to be this high.
