I don't know what responsibility I'm dodging. Don't tell me yet. Perhaps first you could get caught up on the other comments, maybe get off these doom windows for a while, check out my other posts. Later, if you're feeling up to it, come back and help. Maybe say hi first. Take care til then. ✌🏻
I'm sorry, do I know you?
I didn't make it, but I'll try to figure out how to do that.
Just for the sake of propriety, I didn't make this. I found it, and don't know where it came from.
That would be great. But I didn't make it, so 🤷🏼

A small, brown curved fossil tooth with serrations on the inside, and fluting along the side. It sits between the creases of the photographer's palm.
Tooth from a teeny little Dakotaraptor (a little dromaeosaur), probably. From a dig site worked by the Glenrock Paleon and the Morrison Natural History Museum.
A node of black earth is ringed by a slightly larger node of yellow soil. Both are nearly circular, and, together, they have emerged from dried grey mud, which forms their background.
A hole in the ground, which appears to be an ant nest. Around the inside of the hole's rim are light orange soldiers and workers. Within the hole are black, winged drones. The ground around the nest entrance is pebbly.
From Makoshika State Park, Glendive, Montana. Doppelgangers.
A cute, squishy, green caterpillar munching on fennel. The caterpillar has black stripes with orange knobs in the stripes. In this picture, the caterpillar is looking into the camera lens, and their body is out of focus.

Palpatophora utiliformis. I know this is an extremely common, cosmopolitan species, but you have to start somewhere. #occlupanids #HORG @occlupanid.bsky.social

Haha, these guys in action!
You're doom-scrolling, and you come across a stupid, fascist comment or post. You feel the need to correct wrongness on the Internet. STOP! Don't argue. Don't elevate the propaganda bots! Don't elevate paid posters! Post or comment this, and then walk away:
I see cultural and affective connections between Trump etc & white men I grew up with, but I don't feel shame. Just sad. New identifications are in order. Deciding to be a "nice" white person: would that mean reforming whiteness into something "nice"? Yikes. We can imagine something else, for sure.
Yeah, I was wondering if it might be a, what do they call them, a veiled oyster. I'll check back on this guy and see what happens.
A smooth yellow globe, only about 2.5 centimeters across, attached to the cornflake-textured bark of a redwood tree.
Young Enteridium slime mold (probably).

A close-up of a wasp on a lampshade. The wasp is a silhouette on the bright background of the lampshade. It has a long abdomen connected to the thorax by a thin waist. From its thorax, there are six long legs. It has two long antennae, which are swept backwards at the ends.

Yeah, I love em when they rot.
Super rotten, so could be lots of stuff, but maybe a Pluteus. Deer will eat them, but they're too bland for humans. I mean, obviously this one is past its expiration date!
Get flagged! Waste their time!
