My friends have been wanting me to read the Cosmere novels and like. I am. But I need to speed read because they want to start the TTRPG in earnest after everyone has read the first book. Speed reading a book the size of my cat. You could knock someone out with this thang

Hey, we've got another public comment period with a rapidly approaching deadline here in the United States! Short version is that the Department of Agriculture, which manages the U.S. Forest Service, has severely curtailed its obligation to public outreach and comment on its activities, to include timber sales and environmental impact reports. The foundation of a democracy is in the power of the voices of the people, and this decision circumvents our ability to give feedback on Forest Service decisions.

That means that it will be easier for the Forest Service to clearcut old-growth forests regardless of the ecological impact, and make it easier for profiteers to exploit the natural resources of these publicly owned lands. This decision was made to benefit the few, not the many, and it's blatantly obvious.

The deadline to make a public comment on this disastrous decision is August 4. Please get the word out!

It will get cold again eventually. The summer will not last forever. I’m not doomed to live in this unbearable heat for all eternity. <- said while gripping the countertop so hard that the tile is starting to crack

Why do robins lay blue eggs? It seems kinda counterintuitive to have brightly visible eggs that are easily seen by predators.

it's so they can recognize their own eggs!

a predator really won't be able to see the eggs in the first place unless it's already found the nest, meaning it's going to find those eggs anyway at that point, so robins made their eggs a brilliant sky blue as an adaptation against brood parasitism.

brood parasitism can be a major concern for songbirds, because it means that parent birds will raise an unrelated species instead of their own offspring, and this may be the only breeding season they get if they're unlucky.

(note that cowbirds and cuckoos are NOT EVIL, this is just nature!)

BUT BACK TO ROBINS:

one of these is a cowbird egg, can you tell which?

SO CAN THE ROBINS. that little sucker is getting yeetus the fetus'd as soon as mom or dad returns from foraging and finds a weird little not-blue egg in the nest.

which is just another reason why robins are so successful! we're knee deep in these suckers every spring and summer because they are in fact, VERY good at being birds.

bop bop.
