It seems like we have lots of new users. Welcome! I post mostly #photography, and most of that is #Macro of buggies/ #spiders/ #nature, but also #cats, #skies, and random things. Other things get posted too, science, #art, #games, #random thoughts and occasional #silliness.

I had a couple of good days and I pushed myself too hard. I saw beautiful plants/fungi/lichen/✨moss✨ and some sweet little birds, but I am so tired of being so tired and in pain all the time. I guess I'm spending the day in bed today. :( #chronicpain #audhd

Periodic reminder: the vaccine efficacy of the pertussis vaccine drops below 50% at 4.5 years. You should be getting a Tdap booster every 5 years, not every 10. It is especially vital if you have contact with pregnant people or infants too young to be vaccinated.
After two infants died, the Louisiana Dept of Health under the leadership of the new incoming deputy director of the CDC, delayed notifying the public for months of a whooping cough outbreak. Instead, he ordered DOH to stop promoting vaccines. Pertussis is currently a national health crisis.
Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

Union forces had suffered some 5,800 casualties but inflicted twice that on the rebels. When a chaplain asked General Thomas whether the dead should be sorted and buried by state in the new military cemetery, the Virginian who stayed loyal replied "Mix 'em up. I'm tired of states' rights.” (21

Methods of distraction include wigging out over the hidden details of nature. Proven effective time and again!
Unrelated pro tip: There's only one way to host Thanksgiving, and that is to do as much as possible in advance.

Delete this... and write the script... I'll help you raise the money
Movie pitch: elderly woman becomes so adept at evading her adult children's attempts to monitor her movements that she realizes she could evade police surveillance as well.
Her social security income is about to get a boost from her new retirement hobby: crime.

Treehoppers are wild! Like someone hit the "random" button on the character creator.
Look at this weird bug, Cladonota apicalis. from Ecuador.
Now imagine a horse shaped like this, or a wolf!
Why do treehoppers have such weird shapes?
It's a mystery! But we have some ideas.

Short days makes after dark walks, and looking for Hamataliwa grisea in the trees, usually spotted because they like to dangle by a thread under twigs. It's one of my favorite things, still, even though I have hundreds of shots of these spiders over the years.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.
Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?
