Hello! My name is pronounced "Dodo." I accept any pronouns. I'm a Cajun transplant from the USA's Deep South to the Northeast.
I'm a hobbyist spelunker and herpetologist. Trying new things is the zest of life!
Conversation is fine! Bad-faith arguments or fetishization are not, and will be ignored.

#Alligator fact of the day! Gators (& other crocodilians) like to snack on fruit, nuts, & grains.
They've been seen "eating wild grapes, elderberries and citrus fruit directly from trees" both "deliberately and in large quantities."
This helps terraform their ecosystems via seed-spreading!

I'm a dork who likes #alligators, #snakes, and #spiders. My earliest memories from the bayou centered around these beautiful creatures.
One goal of mine is that over the next year, I'll try to drop 1 fact (with sources) a day about one of these critters. Due to unfair bad rep, they need more love!

Polio has been detected in wastewater in NY for some time - so it’s out there and probably elsewhere too. For those of us on the older side who were vaccinated against polio decades ago, the CDC recommends a booster. Check with your healthcare provider to see if you should get one.

How some Texas parents and historians say a new state curriculum glosses over slavery and racism
Education officials say the materials were designed to be age appropriate but critics argue they repeatedly omit key context and oversimplify history.

Why the mental cost of a STEM career can be too high for women and people of colour
Under-represented groups face chronic barriers, creating psychological — and physical — effects. The scientific community must ease this burden.
