It won’t do anything to fight back fascism, but it will bring me joy tonight. Wilco in St Pete. 🥳

More of my little green bee friends 💚

Perhaps it’s because I’ve never seen a blue calamintha bee (Osmia calaminthae) in real life.

So I have a shameful secret. My fave hymenopteran is non-native. It’s naturalized, though. Solitary and ground dwelling and it makes my heart soooo happy.

A cranky man made me cry at work today.
Also…y’know…world on fire…
I need art.
What is something that has moved you lately…in a beautiful way?
Music, poetry, film, an image, dance, whatever. Please share. Thank you.

Oh Friends. 😌
I had the most magical night last night. Dinner with my two adult bros and our mom. Just us. For probably the first time in…20 years? And then a family favorite: Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass at Lincoln Center. “Rise” found a deep nerve I bawled like a baby. It was perfect.

What’s left to say besides “chag Purim sameach” and SLAVA UKRAINI! 🇺🇦🌻

Their speed gets me. We have a smaller version here (Heteropoda venatoria) and they’re just so damn fast I nearly jump out of my skin.

Oh I love Argiope aurantia!! 💛🖤🤍
They’re fascinating. I hardly ever see them here. We may be outside their range.
This one is Eriophora ravilla, commonly known as Tropical Orb Weaver. I once fell in love with this one—

Friends! Look what magic happened! 🥰 My last video was 11/4/17. I haven’t seen one in the front yard in soooo long. When I pulled in from yoga tonight, look who I found! 😁💘🕸️🕷️
March 4, 2025 at 12:44 AM
Thank you for appreciating her. I loved her so much. I’d go out every night to watch her.
March 2, 2025 at 10:24 PM
This is old and amateur—fall 2018, I think. I fell so hard for this Tropical Orb Weaver (Eriophora ravilla). She’d build her web every night in our front yard and consume it again by dawn. When she was gone, I was crushed.
I felt I owed some of my fave invert accounts some content. 🕸️😘

Went out with grownups tonight. Interestingly, the one friend I have who has always avoided the subject of politics was FIRED UP about what happened with Zelenskyy in the WH. I wonder how many more there are, not that will matter now. Anyway, selfie just because…
March 2, 2025 at 5:29 AM
I don’t already know? 🥺

Proof that I go to work now. 😁

First day of work in the books! I met some wonderful new coworkers and tried hard to learn the ropes. If I eat candy and donuts like that everyday I am doomed. ☺️
Thinking maybe I should save The Daily for the drive home, since walking into work with rage is ill advised.
Selfie just because!

I’m just going to put some of my old faves in a thread. Happy Valentine’s Day, friends!

Hair did

And to top it all off I noted the Passiflora suberosa (incorrectly identified as P. edulis and also incorrectly named as “pop up”—I was searching for “Maypop” 🤦‍♀️). I am rusty. Anyway, these are my silver linings, however imperfect it all may be.
Video poorly edited for size.

New jobs call for documentation of this time when I could still roll through school drop off bra-less and then take an hour to finish my coffee. All yoga classes were on the table. Life was grand.

Won’t know more until tomorrow evening, but I’ll say today seemed to go very well.
I commented on the impression their job posting made by listing “kindness” among the more important qualifications. Must have been the magic words. ☺️
Would you hire this lady?

I had an adventure this evening.
For 3 hours I had a dog and it was glorious.
Two hours after this video I asked the right person, and minutes later we were standing in “Andy’s” living room. He was home.
He was such a good boy. 💕

I don’t know what it is about making y’all look at my face…😂😂😂 Perhaps a sign I’m returning to my old self? I found my first material act of resistance to do in a while, and it is empowering. Double selfie Friday!
Please share your pics with me. 😌

Good morning y’all.
Thank you to all who carry the torch against despair. It is because you do I am finding the will to fight back against this bullshit take root in me.
First, yoga to discipline my mind and body.
Keep up the good fight. Happy Friday!
