La Chelle Dame Sans Merci

I feel like @aptshadow.bsky.social might appreciate this one: scientists have discovered that Portia jumping spiders experience REM-like sleep, and even make up for it when they're deprived. THE SPIDERS ACCRUE SLEEP DEBT. 🕷️ www.sciencealert.com/spiders-can-...

Ugh this mushroom stew is ruining every moment of my life I won't get to eat it

I may be a genius. BLT-style sandwich with baked shiitake mushrooms instead of bacon. So good 😋😋😋😋😋

It's bogong season, and we're currently inundated with these magnificent little navigators www.sciencealert.com/tiny-moth-se...

I feel I should probably mention that I am egregiously bad at social media. I feel nervous about interacting with strangers and find being in the public sphere likewise uncomfortable. So I'm here and a real human, just social-media inept. Please enjoy this picture of Poppet giving side-tongue.

This is Poppet. She is Baby.

Last week, after a normal day of frolicking, napping, and enjoying snacks, Spooky the greyhound suddenly collapsed. She never got up again. Official cause of death was cardiac tamponade, probably as a result of hemangiosarcoma. I miss her more than I could have imagined. 💔

Happy 11th birthday, Spooky the Greyhound ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

went into a rainforest, saw frogs and glowing fungus, picked up a leech (not pictured but it was gross)

today's excitement: a visiting little tiny baby jumping spider!

1,200 years ago, Chancay artists were making tattoo lines as thin as 0.1 millimeter. That's on a par with current-day microneedling -- and they were probably doing it with sharpened bones or cactus spines. Look at how beautiful they are 😍🧪
