Some plump little tufts of Sedum (stonecrop) up on a mountain in the Okanagan.

Another extreme close-up of one of my best friend plants, Selaginella! This is Selaginella scopulorum (Rocky Mountain Spikemoss), which was a new species for me this year.

I really enjoyed finding @votetanille.bsky.social's Halloween-themed platform in my inbox yesterday! The spooky theme is fun, but also the core ideas are exactly what I want to see from the NDP!

Exciting tax proposals from @emilylowan.bsky.social in my inbox this morning. Love to see it.

(Yes, I'm excited by tax proposals now.)

I always enjoyed this illustration of "trickle-down economics."

One of many beetles we saw in the Okanagan, this one is probably Liotrichus umbripennis.

Not the clearest photos, but I was very excited to find this Sminthurinus quadrimaculatus in the field!

I got up close and personal with Thalictrum occidentale (the Western meadow-rue).

I was surprised and delighted to find this unexpected Tetrix ornata (Ornate Grouse Locust) back in May.

A tiny snail. No idea what kind, except that it's very cute! Love these things.

I grouse a fair bit about politics, but I also enjoy thinking about how things could be different. Science-fiction is a great medium for that, so I wrote A Slice of Mars as a story of regular people in a substantially different society (not without flaws of its own). #booksky #books #scifi

Didn't find a lot of springtails in the Okanagan last spring, so this Bourletiella hortensis (garden springtail) was quite exciting!

A mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) spotted from the truck in the Okanagan!

Another beautiful sphinx moth from the Okanagan, Smerinthus ophthalmica (a Western Eyed Sphinx; too bad I didn't get the eye!).

One day I'll really get into mothing. This toadflax brocade moth (Calophasia lunula) was one of many pretty finds earlier this year!

Fungi are so interestingly weird, I love them. I think this is in the family Lycoperdaceae.

Another charming jumping spider (Habronattus hirsutus) blending in with the lichen.

Another charming little Okanagan lichen, quite unlike what I usually see nearer to home.

More of my beloved Selaginella wallacei, I love finding it no matter where I am. Lycophytes represent a fascinating part of the evolutionary history of plants.
