Saddleback tamarin (Leontocebus fuscicollis), also called Andean saddle-back tamarins, are not equipped to extract tree gums. They lay in wait for pygmy marmosets to gouge holes in trees and bully the smaller monkeys away from their quarry. Widespread and common, no major threats imperil them.

Had a wonderful extended Valentine’s experience this weekend with my girlfriend. It was definitely worth it to take my mind off of things, and to just enjoy ourselves to the fullest.

Apparently it #superbowl Sunday. What could be more superb than the oldest representation of one we know of from Chauvet Cave, France?
This long eared Owl was drawn by fingers scraped through the wet sediment on the cave wall 32,000 years ago.

This is very bad for global agriculture. Flooding across all farmland is increasing fast and will be increasing faster over the coming 5 years.
The "total precipitable water" for 2024 is now complete.
1.5°C in warming = 11% more atmospheric water vapor capacity = a f&%k-ton of flooding.

Sheinbaum and Trudeau's success makes one thing crystal clear: Trump backs down at the first sign of pushback.
Congressional Democrats could force the reversal of the attack on Congress' powers of the purse and to make the laws, if they tried.

Just got accepted to study this Summer at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. Anybody have advice for traveling out of the country right now as a transgender person? Looking at the US travel gov website and seeing the “T” in “LGBT” removed from advisory messages. Kind of surreal in a fucked up way.

Conservatives support censorship. It’s really that simple.
Under mounting pressure from lawmakers and amidst a moral panic about young people’s social media use, Meta introduced a new set of “sensitive content” restrictions which led to the downranking and hiding of LGBTQ content.
Instagram blocked teens from searching LGBTQ-related content for months
Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags were hidden under Meta's “sensitive content” policy which restricts "sexually suggestive content"

100%. Plus, the discourse has convinced many that 1.5 C is a “tipping point” as opposed to a policy milestone that signifies that we are already experiencing dangerous climate change, and the discourse is laying groundwork for a loss of credibility when 1.50 C turns out to be nothing special.
Missing targets RAISES the urgency of near-term action, it doesn't relax it. But setting out unachievable targets as 'do or die,' as has been the case around 1.5°C for a decade, absolutely feeds fatalism. I've seen it so often in the young people I talk to and teach as well as friends & neighbors.
