Leafy rosette galls on an oak

Fuzzy galls on an oak

Hackberry leaf gall (the more descriptive name for this gall is NSFW so I can leave it up to your imagination).

A collection of #plant galls from my walk today

Today’s sick day #boardgame is Century: Spice Road

Happy #caterday from Zuko, who will not be sharing his dynamite kick stick with you.

Please tell Borne there that his Mord Proxie disguise could use some work 😅

Came home to a poor sick child, so the answer is #boardgames. Today’s choice is the family version of Isle of Cats.

A sign in an airport that says “Recomobobulation Area”

TIL that the Milwaukee Airport invented a new word to describe the areas where you repack your things after security screening:

She has done nothing wrong in her life, ever 😤

Heading home from #plantbio2025 today and I was sent this perfectly innocent photo of my cat

Cat: doing perfectly regular cat things

Me: I love him so much

My undergrads and I second Purple Door Ice Cream as an excellent #plantbio2025 treat!

Proud of my intrepid undergraduates for presenting their work at #plantbio2025

In Milwaukee for #PlantBio2025

Ugh, I’m so sick of this narrative. People who don’t play video games just tend to fill that space up with mindless TV watching. And a lot of gamers I know have partners that also love video games so they have plenty to talk about.

Zuko working on his #caterday poetry

Yes!

Capys are herd animals, so you’re gonna need a few of them. Then, just to keep things balanced, you’ll need a couple
more raccoons and tegus.

Happy Fourth of July.

Never too late!

Hand calluses

Bruised side

Biceps

Signs you might be an aerialist: the calluses, the bruises, the muscles.

I met a capybara last weekend and I’m not ashamed to say I teared up a bit.

When the existential dread hits

I’ve been practicing sling for a little bit on my own, but this weekend @knottist.bsky.social and I got to take a private sling lesson at @stompinggroundmpls.bsky.social! Lots of fun dynamics and cute little drops.

I met some capybaras this weekend and it was amazing.

Just a really fun weekend in Minneapolis with my little family. More photos incoming.

Yeah, my dad is definitely a recliner dad.

We feed you.
They hunt us.

I love this one!
