Obviously it's an orchid and not a Pelargonium but I love it for the same reason I love the Vectis group of stellar Pelargonium breeds (niche reference) (pic borrowed from Pellie Gwen)

If ever there was a day for a joyous Pink Butterfly Orchid from the #OrchidsOfRhodes tours, this must be it. 🦋

This is one of my favorite grave decorations in Arras. More personalized dioramas celebrating professions, please.

No problem, she's the best there is!

Ok! Just asked my friend the US customs expert for you, she said the following, not sure if it helps?

"If the goods are USMCA (CUSMA in Canada) compliant, then no tariffs. If they don’t qualify for USMCA, there is a 10% tariff"

Are you talking about Canadian tariffs i.e. entry into Canada, or American tariffs on Canadian good entering the US? If you're asking about entry into Canada this is the authoritative and up to date list! www.canada.ca/en/departmen...

fuck this so much

we are so not prepared for the mountain of dogshit “scholarship” about to flood journals everywhere

Why not welcome the warm weather with a new flash workshop?

I’ll be teaching CRAFTING STRUCTURE IN FLASH FICTION and yes this is an in-person workshop!

London, San Francisco and Beijing achieve ‘remarkable reductions’ in air pollution Cycle lanes, electric cars and other interventions have helped 19 global cities slash levels of pollutants by more than 20%

It is remarkable how much clearer the air is in Silicon Valley than it was ten years ago. Electric cars have made a huge difference

i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price

electricity water clean air knowledge

you name it

they should be treated like the common thieves they are

I was talking about Solnhofen at work this week, so for #FossilFriday here are some rather gorgeous fossils from the site on display at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin 🦐🧪🦀

My wedding dress was dupioni silk, I love it so much. I also weave with slub spun silk, which creates a similar texture. The best!

How falling battery costs are igniting race for round-the-clock solar power Outside Abu Dhabi, a vast area of desert is being carpeted with solar panels.

Make sure your loved ones aren't operating on out of date priors about intermittent renewables: tell them batteries are now an economical supplement generating full time dispatchable power from them.

Pride crosswalks are being removed elsewhere. Lyons, CO still has theirs. A small town making a visible statement.

Glad you’re here to share the moment.

Oh no, this is so awful 😔

So when Naomi Fisher takes umbrage that people have described her recent behaviour and podcasting as a step on a right wing pipeline, while she tags right wing media darling transphobes, and platforms right wing talking points, what exactly is she objecting to?

I love that you thought that was so clever that you put it in your loser ass bio too, amazing

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

Even if that was an accurate analysis, this is the case for a lot of people who work in beauty, fashion, healthcare, and about a million other fields, not to mention that grifting off making women's actual lives hell by the actual policies that they'reputting into actual place today.

Maybe if Starmer did some stupid hypnosis ten years ago he wouldn't suck so brutally idk

I love that their argument is "he's a liar so therefore liars are ok in Labour!" Not a glimmer of a clue to be had. Sorry, I don't care about random personal therapies, I do care about corruption, anti-immigrant and anti-trans rhetoric and policy, and going after disabled people.

a messy something

interesting

some pretty parts, some unsettling

First 6 Days of Iran War Cost U.S. $11.3 Billion, Pentagon Says

The 2026 National Science Foundation budget is $8.75 Billion.

😅😅

Idk, the difference between how Labour ultras act and Reform ultras act is pretty much just good spelling, at this point, it feels! 😳

The preening contempt of former academics who accuse younger women of being "upset" for daring to disagree? That will win Labour another election, I'm sure! What could possibly go wrong!

A professor emeritus who thinks that it's a clever twist to equate a stupid thing a decade ago to decades long consistent anti-Semitic statements and political action from someone possibly positioned to be PM in three years. Not very intellectual, Steve, tsk tsk.

Genuinely, it blows my mind. I've had this from Corbyn stans and Starmer stans. There's something in the water in that party.
