Oh my God. This might explain the sudden interest in jarquariums this past week. I am already planning on a bunch more for the new year. Anything to keep the real world far away as possible.

Collected river water to make jarquarium with my son and was amazed to see hydras in the water. Never actually seen one myself and didn't realize how easy they are to find and that they are bug enough to see with the naked eye #invert

My 6yo son made a sculpture and my wife painted it. When they showed me their creation, I was screaming inside while saying "Good job!"

So glad to move over to BlueSky as soon as I could and find a great community of scientists, reporters, and other random people bringing joy and knowledge instead of hatred, racism, and sexism.

Not all Ferengi! Rom was surprisingly good and somehow Quark had more character growth and empathy than Trump could ever manage. Odo on the other hand...

Made my first Dorodango (Japanese mud ball) with my son. Can't believe how shiny mud can get! Can't wait to try other mud and mixtures to see what colors we can get.

Please support these brave college students as much as possible. They are doing more for this nation and world than any of the dogshit cops brutalizing them.

My son picked up a fig off the ground at Balboa park and noticed a tiny pair of wings sticking out of it. Very surprised to find it fig wasps live in San Diego too! #InverteFest

Awesome! My son (4 yo) has a fascination with galls, ever since he picked one up during hiking and started collecting them on our hikes. I later found out they used to make ink out of galls, so we tried it at home! Crushed some of his gall collection, added water, iron, and gum, and viola! #galls

Alternative way to looking at it is an h-index for scientists with the same name. There's one other prolific scientist with my same name, and the word cloud tells me that his work on traffic safety trumps my work on phylogenetics.

At a tea ceremony being held at an AirBnB and found this book. So much racism and sexism, it could've been written by 4chan

Love to open up SD County emergency app to find a bunch of community links all pointing to Twitter, making it non-functional. Example why no gov group should use Twitter or any private sector service. #hurricanehilary
