Come to Penn treaty park tonight at 7pm sharp

Well one of those is my car going through an AI edit so.

yup

I don't have confidence that how I made these is optimal so I'm not going to share the recipe here, BUT i got my seeds from a local native plant supplier called Ernst.

Ready to supply ~100 cyclists w/seed bombs for our city's abandoned lots at tonight's @wednightrides.org!

They contain 6-7 species of native plant seeds to juice up the biodiversity of our city, incl.
Ironweed
Echinacea
Partidge Pea
Bee Balm
Blue Vervain
Blackeyed Susan
Swamp Milkweed (sometimes)

I’m actually going to be administering a vote for the best bug this Friday at an elementary school lmao

btw, this project and projects like it are funded by t-shirts like this one (and you should buy one at SquidFacts.net, they're super cute)

Hell yeah!!

Sometimes you're done with asking nicely.

Our friend @the666cat.bsky.social put a decidedly Philadelphia spin on the appeal to plant native plants in our city.

Please plant native plants
or
Go to hell!

Identifying the “demon whale-biter”: Patterns of scarring on large whales attributed to a cookie-cutter shark Isistius sp The presence of crater-like wounds on cetaceans and other large marine vertebrates and invertebrates has been attributed to various organisms. We review the evidence for the identity of the biting age...

Dawg if I was a cookie-cutter shark and found out that my species could have been known as the "demon whale-biter" instead I'd be fuckin' *pissed*. Absolute nomenclatural humiliation.

That is how disputes are typically solves around here.

"Man people in these bike classes love squid, huh? is that slang for something?"

She's biking for biodiversity! Presumably!

but i never had one!

Yesterday my buddy Julie asked me if I was on peloton and I said "Lmao no" and she said "WHAT! There is a SarahMackAttack on peloton in Philadelphia, and its NOT you?" and I said "WHAT?!?!!?!"

This isn't that interesting a story, but isn't that weird?

Mar 4 // Thrilled to collaborate with @sarahmackattack.bsky.social (artist, science communicator extraordinaire & "Philly's favorite squid scientist"): our ride is 1 part of her huge effort to sow native plant seeds across our city to restore native species & create habitat for local creatures.

Sharing

20 absolute cutie patooties gather around a very long table with a gazillion seed packets on the tables

4600 additional seed packets were assembled by a team of ~50 volunteers tonight!

We are getting together, we are gossiping about the losers we have crushes on (he’s not so bad!) we are listening to yacht rock, we are supporting biodiversity in our chaotic wonderful city.

Oh that’s the depth it was at not the length of the squid

I don’t think it’s spectacularly larger

Lmao not quite I think closer to a meter

Whuff that’s a GOOD squid

One of the ways I find enjoyment in these bleak-ass times is replying with the silly emotions I feel in my heart via email.

Customer service helped me solve a problem? In my heart I think "hot dog!" So I'm gonna reply "Hot dog! Thanks, Christine!". She's earned that hot dog. She should get it.

Long long ago I was hanging out with a girl who would often say "We're all just dogs wearing sweaters" as if that was a common saying. She had made it up, but we all know what that means I think. Now I, too, say it as if it's a known idiomatic phrase. And now it is.
