Best wishes for a quick recovery!
This is an all-cat-repost account today.

My latest bar illustration: The Hollows in Teele Square, Somerville, MA. Formerly Rudy’s. Was happy to visit it recently during my last trip back to Boston and hope to get back soon.
Also, Oola was utterly unhelpful while I was trying to take the photos of the artwork and prints.
A ridiculous tuxedo cat stares unimpressedly at me because I'm very rudely doing my day job that I have to do to buy his Pringles
Paul I don't want to be working either but here we are
Ooh, thanks!

Don't worry, I understood––and wow, such a great array of birds!
🌿 Postdoc opportunity in plant evolutionary ecology/genetics!
My lab in the Dept. of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to start Fall 2026.
We study plant adaptation, using weeds as model systems.

Pls RT!
No peeps, but heard some MEEPs! 🪶
Back on my frog bullshit again…hoping for two peeps today 🐸❤️🐸❤️🐸
Just drive in, SUCKER!
My spouse and I were not (and never will be) ready for a tandem––we had a kid instead, much less challenging for the relationship.

We're going out again tonight, send good peep vibes! The problem is our assigned monitoring route is on the flight path for O'Hare, so there's a ton of plane noise
Glad it's a bit better––here's hoping for 100% tomorrow!
Those varmints make some weird noises. Also one time I thought I heard woodcocks on the wing, but it was American Toads–-didn't realize it until I did the training for the Calling frog survey.
The text at the top reads: “APPS Special Issue Call for Papers: Plant genome skimming: Special uses and future potential”. The image shows a phylogenetic tree on the left side, with images illustrating each genus in the tree on the right. Images from top to bottom are Hypogymnia inactiva, Imshaugia aleurites, Cladonia asahinae, Leptogium sp., Graphis plumierae, Opegrapha niveoatra. A QR code is in the bottom left corner. The text at the bottom reads: “Proposal deadline March 16, 2026”.
DEADLINE IN 1 WEEK
🌿SPECIAL ISSUE CALL FOR PAPERS🌿

Graphic to illustrate the role of Argonaute proteins (components of the RNA silencing machinery) in plant antiviral defenses. In this figure, OsAGO2 is significantly induced by infection with rice stripe virus and rice dwarf virus. Loss-of-function ago2 mutant lines lack antiviral activity, and AGO2 over-expression lines show increased antiviral activity.

How are you doing today?

#TenMinMerlin this morning in Chicago—where are the cardinals? Had been treated to a pew pew pew laser battle just about every other morning. I blame the time change
AAAAAAAA!!
Good luck!! Damn that does sound annoying...
That was a good place––and such lovely, drinkable beers. I guess it'll be some sports bar now...
Damn, this one is 🔥
⚠️SEVERE STORMS TUESDAY⚠️
The Storm Prediction Center already has parts of Chicagoland in an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) for severe weather Tuesday/Tuesday evening. Plan ahead and make sure you have ways to receive severe weather alerts.

It’s happening, Chicago!
Spring Forward. Sunrise Fantastic. Sunday's start in Chicago.
Thank you for the warning—had this movie on my list and have stricken it…fuck fatphobia
