This infographic titled "Crocuses, Saffron & Poisonous Imposters" explores the chemistry and botany of crocuses. It explains that saffron comes from Crocus sativus, which contains the deep red pigment crocin. While yellow petals contain carotenoids, purple petals contain anthocyanins like delphinidin. It warns that Colchicum autumnale, also called "autumn crocus," is a toxic lookalike containing colchicine, a dangerous alkaloid that can cause organ failure but is also used to treat gout.

It’s spring in the northern hemisphere and the crocuses are blooming. Find out more about their colours and poisonous lookalikes in this graphic: www.compoundchem.com/2022/03/15/c...

Caddis fly larvae. It looks like a pile of orange and brown pebbles.

Various art supplies and stationery items in hues of green and reds frame two art prints on a desk top. One features an illustration of tomato vines of different colored tomatoes, gradually progressing from yellowish green to orange to red. The vines are surrounded by tiny winged and tomato headed creatures, wearing a blue cone hat, each carrying a can of paint and a brush, intent on coloring the tomatoes. They are dressed in the same summery outfit: a red vest, blue shorts and elegant looking brown shoes. The other illustration is in the same style and concept, but revolves around pomegranates, with the tiny characters having upturned pomegranate heads and being dressed for fall, with a brown sweater, jeans and boots

Last days of the month are here and I’ve barely scratched the surface of my order goal but I still want to show my art, who knows who will see it :) I’m choosing to believe today is my lucky day!

(If you like my art and are in Europe, please help me share ❤️)

Don’t forget to breathe (nuclear fire upon your enemies).

Band-tailed Pigeons are named after a literal light band on their tails - not because they band together...

...but they do also band together! A lot.

Pulled off the highway to enjoy this surf scoter convention. It's so funny how they all dive at once

Hey kids 👋

Fancy a bit of retail therapy?

We make lots of lovely things and we could do with a few orders.

Reposts would be fabulous too, I swear I am not demanding.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default

“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

Understanding our current predicament requires acknowledging that every single conservative from the establishment “intellectuals” like Ross to the lowest jug hooting simpleton has driven themselves insane via a media diet that hasn’t communicated a single true fact to any of them in 6 years

“Toad,” asked Frog. “Don’t you like to be scared? Don’t you like to feel the shivers?”

“I am not too sure,” said Toad.”

Not always clear when you are living through a historical pivot but this definitely feels like one

Opinion | Trump’s Strikes on Iran Were Unlawful. Here’s Why That Matters.

The strikes on Iran are blatantly illegal. I explained in June why the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were unlawful under US and international law. Everything I wrote then is true today, but this is a far larger assault with far graver consequences.

No war. No war. No war. No illegal fucking war. No war, period. We have got to stop.

I sure could go for impeaching and convicting the president right about now.

everybody knows that if you stop 8 wars, it fills up your punchcard and you get 1 war for free

Well that was a lie

it’s all just video games to them, they don’t believe anyone who lives in the Middle East counts as real people

they’re just making things go boom, watching it on TV, and high fiving

A poem titled "Vigil." The poem's text reads: Let me hold a vigil as you rest, caught between the half-kept darkness and the sound of daylife just outside, gathering your cares and watching as you try to slip the sapping world away. Let me guard the rise and fall of sleep within you as I listen to the quiet breathing of your heart, the grating rumble of your past, and the carelessness of skin beneath the sheets. Let me brush away the idle hairs that fall across your eyes, pushing back their veiling curls before they shroud your spirit in their weight and tether fast your dreams. Let me kiss your head and settle in to stay between these moments and the ever-asking door, a quiet lover in the corner of your tired, rolling dusk. Let me hold this vigil by your side, And I will be here for you when you wake. -- John Wyatt Greenlee

A poem for this afternoon. Sometimes we all need a someone to stand watch over us.
