After I finish sex on six legs this is my reading list:
An entirely synthetic fish
A sand county almanac
Braiding sweetgrass
The serviceberry
Beaverland
Beyond fair chase

Feel free to recommend some as well :) I'm focusing on ecology, wildlife, conservation, land ethics and similar topics

I know I'm still a true north carolinian at heart bc I saw a silhouette of south carolina on someone's shirt and got involuntarily irritated

if this goes well i may order individual seeds for the larger meadow at the back of the yard where our raised bed garden is gonna be idk though the seed mixes are very very good

🌿Forrest 𓆝 𓆟 @strayhounds.bsky.social · 3h

we have a lot of birds so i cant just spread it without losing a fuckton so ill put some effort into it while still making it as random as possible

🌿Forrest 𓆝 𓆟 @strayhounds.bsky.social · 3h

ordered my seed packs :) ill till up the mini meadow spot this weekend and start preparing for them to be here! the idea is to try and seed them as naturally as possible so i do plan to just till up the grass and pick weeds and just. throw down and put the seeds into the soil

State wide shark attack alerts. We barely have a coast.

Literacy rate is dropping, I've worked with teenagers that don't know who Nixon was, I've had field trips of middle schoolers who couldn't read and didn't have fine motor skills, and ppl on FB in the state think rabies vaccines cause rabies but yeah we need shark attack alerts now

Starting to get cold I need to order my seeds soon oops

🌿Forrest 𓆝 𓆟 @strayhounds.bsky.social · 16h

Yeah you can! I've done that in the past a few times when I went trout fishing on the sipsey, it's a little harder on the tiny hooks but it might also be just bc of the pliers I have

🌿Forrest 𓆝 𓆟 @strayhounds.bsky.social · 17h

I'm very excited about starting to fish with barbless hooks hehe, I'll be getting barbless flies and I plan to get some barbless jigs for ultralight spin fishing

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology
