I noticed this starting to pop up on my meme about short vs long floss (along with people thinking it's about hair which is some strong side eye for another day) so it's getting a separate post.

The point of the internet is for trannies and furries to meet each other, and for grandparents with undiagnosed autism to teach younger generations about their incredibly niche interests and craftwork skills. Everything else is bloat.

Couldn't resist a bit of Valentine's fun with the birds at work! This is one of our ambassador red-tailed hawks, Jesse, trying to get at her snack! Jesse is a non-releasable ambassador, not a pet, and she had been at our facility for 25 years this year, so she deserves some love! (She is not very good at enrichment, so sometimes she needs 'help!')

Who else up thinking about bjj black belt craig jones saying You can give anyone steroids. Despite our best efforts we are yet to give anyone autism.

I absolutely love lichens and think they're cool and have value on their own, and things don't need to have value to be interesting or studied. But how can you explain to someone why lichens are important and why studying and researching them is important?

Lichens are integral to primary succession. They are among the first organisms to colonize bare and exposed rock and dirt where they contribute to nutrient cycling, photosynthesis, soil stabilization, and water retention--all processes that make way for other organisms to establish there as well.

Lichens are a wintertime and back-up food source for lots of organisms (reindeer/caribou being the prime example).

Lichens are habitat for microorganisms and arthropods. They are also used as nesting material for birds and mammals.

Lichens are amazing survivors, and by studying the chemical and genetic processes they use to survive in some of the harshest conditions on earth, we can potentially develop medicines or procedures to protect humans and other organisms.

The planet just doesn't keep unimportant organisms around. If lichens weren't important, we wouldn't see them everywhere on everything in every terrestrial ecosystem on earth. And so by studying them, we get to figure out *why* they are important. If we just label them as unimportant and never look at them again, well, that's a huge over sight on our part. We'll never know what we don't know.

They're cute as hell

i fear the battle is lost at this point but i still flinch every time i see "gay panic" used as a cute positive phrase. Like let's go on say wikipedia.org for a second and try typing that one in folks
