Oh and uh; I’m not gonna let my positivity end here. So here’s the iceberg pinned back on my alt while I fix this mess…. Enjoy!

😩

(UNEDITED WIP + digital zooms/cuts) Oh MAN I had fun today. Gotta get these fixed up, more to come from the prairie!!

@NerdyEldritch @Unpop_Science Oh girl you’re okay. I’m dyslexic too. It makes me really sad people are being so dishonest with this. Yes it’s sad they’re dying, yes it’s equally sad they’re undergoing the stress of capture. But they’re not wild… they’re domesticated escapes

@NotChilledOut @Unpop_Science OH sorry I can't read for shit. Im so used to people saying the feral American Mustangs are "wild" I completely misread ur comment. Apologies 🫠.

Reminder that horses evolved in North America — they are not an invasive species and they are not being “managed” for ecological reasons. They are being eradicated from public lands to benefit the ranching industry and shipped en masse to slaughterhouses in Mexico.

@NerdyEldritch @Unpop_Science Yea no that’s just not true. The OP is saying North American old equus species are domestic equines. Extremely inaccurate representation of the situation. You’re also discounting zebras and quaggas, so you’re not even right either.

@NotChilledOut @Unpop_Science There is not a single difference. The only truly wild horse is the przewalski's. Every other horse is a feral domestic.

@BadWeatherKyle Castilleja sp. 🫵🥺 Great shots Kyle!! Wanna go up there so bad!

A profusion of wildflowers in Banff National Park today! Simply fantastic.

@coughdropsh @nvolpewild Top tier invert hours. Everywhere you went, grasshoppers

@NotChilledOut @nvolpewild Holy moly

Just WOW. Found in the N-TX prairie! One of the most immaculate moths I’ve ever encountered. It has Mohawk!

@baugh_elliot @coughdropsh NOBODY IDS MY PLANTS BUT SAMBIOLOGY 💔‼️

@NotChilledOut @coughdropsh Aww!!!

Once again my plants on inat go unnoticed and unverified because everyone hates plants and by proxy hates me specifically

@nvolpewild Matched the velvet weed perfectly!

@NotChilledOut That is STUNNING!

@project_otus Unbelievable. Genuinely

No words. Here is a peak at one of our most incredible drone flights around a #tornado to date near Tulliby Lake, AB. The odds were completely stacked against us on this one, but thanks to some determination to make the 18 hour drive up here pulling an all-nighter, and brilliant forecasting by Nelson Tucker we were able to see this beauty. This will likely be one of our last intercepts of the season, thank you so much to everyone for following along as we press on to properly measure tornadoes to push weather science forward! #stormchasing #nature #weather

@SCweather_wx Deer don’t stop in the middle of the road because they’re dumb, but because they’re scared. Because they don’t understand and they don’t have the capacity to either. Be sympathetic, cuz rn you look very cruel

@SCweather_wx Man I need you to think about it: You have the intelligence of less than a 2 year old, live in the prairie/woods your whole life. And you’re suddenly placed in a situation where there’s massive, metal, loud monsters stopping and staring at you. It’s like aliens, it’s scary.

@Willow02102001 @Unpop_Science Thank you, someone who knows what they’re saying..

@Unpop_Science Equus horses are not native. The original horses to America were much smaller animals with different behaviors and social structures and of course environmental interactions. The ones we see today are introduced feral horses from European equus horses.

@baugh_elliot SOON. Gotta get some money to my name first but Texas is no longer a permanent home

@NotChilledOut MOVE HERE ya goober

My hottest take is that the mountains are the gods humanity seeks.

@DiMartinoWX Earth heaved upwards advancing straight towards the sky. Couldn’t think of anything more symbolic

@NotChilledOut I wouldn't even call that a hot take considering how much mountains play a major role in religions. Mount Sinai, Mount Olympus, Mount Zion, Mount Fuji, just to name a few

@cassiefrey_wx I hateeee how people are so ADAMANT that they have to kill bugs who find themselves inside. Like dude, it should be seen as weird behavior to demand to kill a bug who’s already getting removed alive. I regularly have to deal with this, and it’s gross and weird to me

Two years ago today we had a tarantula (A. hentzi) crawl into a building at work and Frank and I had to intercept him to stop the maintenance techs from squashing him He got an airplane ride back to the desert
