Science communication tramp. I’ve been an informal science educator and vaccine advocate long enough to know that anti-science is not partisan. People show us who they are by who they choose to represent them.

MAGA denial, delusion and hypocrisy stems from their never being willing to admit how the evidence actually proves Trump to be everything they accused of Clinton, Obama and Biden.

Reading an e-version that my library has on Hoopla, but might get a hardcopy for my Nerdcave library.

You should never let down your guard around either.

Here, I’m not entirely certain if this is just another tree, or if there’s a cleverly camouflaged dinosaur in our town’s park.

Recommended to me by the aquarium manager.

It’s interesting, informative and just acerbic enough to be entertaining without being annoyingly flippant.

Everything that public engagement of science should be, and what I strive for in my own #scicomm style.

Truly envious. We’re so glad we at least got up to Whistler, last summer.

I wouldn’t risk crossing, either.

Hope you have a wonderful experience.

A judge has to order the halt of construction for a concentration camp that no decent, sane American would want their tax money funding.

Which is why no decent, sane Americans are allocating funds for it, or working for those who are building and operating it.

Just sadists and psychopaths.

As cognitively impaired as Trump has repeatedly proven himself to be, he’s still smarter than Republican voters.

At Pacific Science Center, we educators with lab science degrees were used as janitors after events, as daycare and as school crossing guards.

Naturalist w Masters in Wildlife Biology also has to run snack bar & empty lav on a whale watching boat.

Nothing but contempt for ppl w science degrees.

Cain, Sorbo, Baio: MAGA seems to attract idjits who want to take the frustrations of their failed lives out on others.

Bar hopping with my brother the night before I moved from Virginia, the band in the last place we went played “Nights in White Satin.”

The keyboard player did an impressive job of replicating the symphony.

Accurate for Sancho Vance.

Difference being that Don Quixote wanted to “make a world of gold” for everyone, not a ballroom of gold just for himself.

Just more irrelevant rantings by a puerile pseudointellectual cosplaying as an activist.

Unless you read the novel, this was about the only way to make friggin’ sense of Kubrick’s movie version.

Another marine invertebrate “yeehaw” moment: one of the sea stars seemed to be tryin’ to “bust” an anemone like a cowboy on a bronco.

Gotta love a boogeying echinoderm.

For me, the latest silly sea star moment was this one straddlin’ an anemone like a cowboy on a bronco.
Yeeeehaawww!

(Coupla weeks ago at the little aquarium in Washington state, where I volunteer.)

And all the good smells that get amplified by the wet grass and leaves.

Moved from Kirkland to Anacortes. No one outside the region believes that we go a coupla months with almost no rain in this part of PNW.

We finally got some significant rain overnight, after weeks of nothing.

People who don’t live in this part of the Pacific Northwest have a hard time believing how grateful we are to get precipitation during July, August and September.

I tell visitors to our little aquarium in Washington state how the anemones have no spine, a primitive brain and they defecate from the same orifice where they take in food.

Traits they share with the majority of our legislators.

It’s a mutually beneficial relationship. Really enjoyed your posts, and particularly the discussions. Got a *lot* of great suggestions for future reading.

Look forward to more of both.
