If I had a dollar for every biography of a woman I’ve read with the line “she grew close with her roommate and they developed nicknames for each other” I would have rent money.

What a thrill to see @Laelaps new book on display @bluestockings my local anarchist cooperative bookstore! Go Riley go!

Today I’m thinking about pseudoscorpions 🥺 The tiniest little monsters that helpfully eat household pests & use houseflies like taxicabs 🪰🚕 (Picture w/ dime for scale, after I found one in my woodpile in Montana)

How do we turn America’s long-standing skepticism of industrial policy into something people can believe in? Try making it self-sustaining, where the public, not just profiteers, have a say in the industries that survive & thrive. @STOmarova @toddntucker democracyjournal.org/arguments/indu…

@GuloThoughts it's the essence of deciduous summer to me. recommended pairing: Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer

@experrinment YES! I guess you’ve had some time there! Can’t wait to get back

I finished the Tragedy of Heterosexuality last night and I miss it badly. @thequeerjane

THREE! NEW! SPECIES! OF! WORM-LIKE! AMPHIBIANS! FROM! COLOMBIA! Yes, caecilians tend to lack functional eyes, possess needle-like teeth, and generally look like graboids from Tremors. And I love them with all of my ❤️‍🔥. HT Alejandro Arteaga, Paper: biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/articl…

What film that has a reputation for being "bad" or a "flop" (critically or commercially), and that hasn't been reclaimed as misunderstood or "good, actually," do you think should be?

I call on @AndreaSCousins and @sen_gounardes to publicly declare their opposition to Justice LaSalle’s nomination for Chief Judge. His decisions are anti-union, anti-abortion, and anti-due process. The Senate must demand a new nominee who will bring us #TheCourtNYDeserves.

@am_anatiala a favorite tweet of recent memory

fucking tripping over badgers and herons

i know its a joke around these parts but im skimming through a lot of old papers and so many of them really actually are "so we threw a whole bunch of salamanders in a box and when we opened it at the end of the day, two were missing, and this one threw them up"

@nobuakiMZMT This twitter thread is so so helpful! Thank you for walking us through this! I love this work.

Finally, I'm very proud of this work because it combines almost all of my skillsets (behavioral observation, video tracking, movement modeling, simulations, compartive phylogenetic analysis, systematic literature survey)!

Our new paper is out from @PNASNews today! w @tom_oist and Nathan Bailey. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… We show the behavioral mechanism for movement coordination of same-sex tandem runs in termites, with its evolutionary history. (1/n)
