@clhubes Once when this happened to me my older neighbor came over and witnessed me eating a corn dog from the freezer section of Walmart. *ARE YOU OKAY?* she asked. *HOW CAN I HELP?*

@RolandKays @NCState_FER Lots of big healthy boys on Bald Head Island - but no hunting here.

It was an exceptional year for antlers for our #SnapshotUSA survey site @NCState_FER research forest in NC. Anyone got more giant bucks from a single site? (yes, hunting is allowed here)

@insituphile I hate these so much. And compared to who? Never seen "unusual" before though, that's new.

It's recommendation writing season, and this is just getting out of hand. A cumulative sum–based ranking system and qualitative descriptors like "unusual" can't possibly be supported by research. Please make it stop.

@smbrander Yeah, I just came back to tweet about the conference I was attending bc there didn't seem to be any other good options. But there was a lot less tweeting than other years. Kinda sad.

Doing a quick read of the online room here and it seems like people are slowly migrating back to Twitter / X? Perhaps for lack of other realistically viable options? #AcademicChatter

@ravenscimaven If you're related to George Washington, you're related to the Bushes and King Charles, Princes William & Harry, etc!

ARE YOU SERIOUS? George Washington the 1st President of the United States is my COUSIN???? Me and George Washington share a grandfather. THAT is how we got the Washington family name??!! THIS line crosses with the one from the CROMWELLS, at my great grandmother’s generation 😭

@ravenscimaven This is so interesting! I just finished the trilogy Wolf Hall which are very long books about Thomas Cromwell and the time of Henry VIIi. Good but long historical fiction. Morgan Williams is mentioned. Maybe download audiobook from the library if you have a long road trip!

Hold on. This dude's dad Morgan ap Williams is the one who is my grandfather lmao it's looking like Oliver is his great great grandson but I am related to him through this guy's aunt, and I'm still reading all of this stuff. So then that means Oliver is my cousin. Not grandpa.

Y'all I am on an Ancestry dot com rabbit hole tracing my history back and learning who my grandparents are and I'm at this dude named Oliver Cromwell???? And this dude was WILD. Jaw on the floor. Jaw on theeee floor.

@CarmichaelLab The displays look great! Congratulations!

Monday was the official reopening of the Alabama Aquarium at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab! We're honored that the newly renovated aquarium features displays with information on our Marine Mammal Research Program, local marine mammals and more. C'mon over and check it out!

@clhubes It gets worse, then better when the kids can make their own plans.
