If you love a book, tell someone. Recommend it. Loan your copy. Send a link. Ask for it at your library. Word of mouth goes further than you think.

New research compares pollination by bees and wasps in a diverse native plant community. doi.org/10.1111/een....

TL;DR Contrary to popular belief, both groups appear to be equally effective at pollination (tho each prefers to visit a different assortment of flowers)! ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿงช

My first Pokemon game as a kid was Sapphire, and I chose Torchic as my starter. The game said Torchic was male, but I ignored that, gave her a girl's name, and thought of her as a girl for the rest of the game. I didn't know what "trans" meant until like ten years later. There were no signs

The Ornithocheirus felt round, bright and soft, a golden silhouette surrounded by cotton candy clouds. So I decided to do a mirror opposite under the same theme, a pointy Pteranodon under a dark, gloomy sky with unsettling colors and an almost mirrored composition.

Pointing again at my US Blue State Challenge. If you live in a "blue state", pick the red state you hate the most and the issue you care about the most and find a group in that state working on that issue and support them.

N. lyricen also has white pruinosity on the underside of its abdomen. The difference is the presence of absence of a stripe on the ventral sterna, which is not visible from these photos.

Any time someone casts doubt on the existence of trans kids or argues against trans kids having access to care and support, itโ€™s an insult to all of us. In the NYT or across the dinner table, itโ€™s obscene. Itโ€™s an insult to those of us who are here. Itโ€™s an insult to those of who should still be.

Every time I get electrolysis, Iโ€™m reminded how vital it is to keep fighting for trans kids so they can get the care and medicine they need, so they donโ€™t have to wade through years of dysphoria and then pay thousands to undo the consequences of puberty they didnโ€™t want.

DID YOU KNOW? Homosexual behavior among cicadas is very common in the wild! Intersex conditions like gynandromorphism have also been documented in cicadas, though they are exceedingly rare.
