@Myrmecos I study #Embioptera and their behavior, silk and make some music by them as well! I’m terrible at posting. Have some nice photos though..cute #insects!

@james_gilbert AI closed caption is pretty sketchy too...my RolyPoly sowbugs became “Roll the Police”!

#Autocorrectfail of the day: I just wrote to a student that their assignment will involve describing their hypothesis and prediction “in a very shit powerpoint” 😳

@AntGirl_KB Our yard lives up to your dream. Took the lawn out 20 years ago. Life thrives🐜🐞🐝🙏🦋🪰

I have this dream of someday having a big yard with lots of trees in it providing shade and fallen leaves -The kind of yard that is terrible for lawn but awesome for native plants and leaf litter. Come to me insects one and all.

@BillClinton Please join arm and arm with Bush, Obama and Biden to challenge and to show a united front.

No one deserves to die the way George Floyd did. And the truth is, if you’re white in America, the chances are you won’t. That truth is what underlies the pain and the anger that so many are feeling and expressing. My full statement on his death: clintonfoundation.org/press-releases…

@BarackObama I was hoping that you, President Obama, would join arms with Presidents Clinton and Bush, and VP Biden, standing together boldly.

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. @BarackObama/how-to-make-this-moment-the-turning-point-for-real-change-9fa209806067" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@BarackObama/h…
