TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Bug and I make regular pilgrimages to central Florida to see them. He's but a grain of black sand 🖤

Day 6 of my 2025 Favorites: There's a particular oak in a particular spot upon which for some reason I've found an adult male Phidippus richmani every year for the past 3. Little things like this bring me joy. And he looks like that 🥹
