I’m asking those who love the outdoors to post a picture. A picture that YOU took. Just a picture. No description. The goal is to regain peace harmony without negativity. Please copy the text, put a picture on YOUR page, and let's look at these beautiful pictures.

They *are* perfect
Salamanders! I made this comic for @Blackmudpuppy's upcoming book Moistly Harmless (endangeredartbooks.com/produ…).
ALT A banner title says "What Salamanders Are NOT". We see four labeled creatures: the first is a scaled salamander-like creature in a pool of water, labeled "Wet Lizards". The second is a Dungeons and Dragons-style salamander surrounded by fire, labeled "Fire Elementals". The fourth is an underwater snaky mudpuppy-like creature labeled "Aquatic Snakes". Last, we see a glorious spotted salamander surrounded by twinkly stars, looking proud of itself, labeled "Ugly (they are perfect)".

It will never not be exciting to see these incredibly impressive animals.

Do have, know, or work with anyone with #ADHD?
As a parent of a possibly undiagnosed #ADHD kid, this is super valuable.
🧵 up👆🏽and down👇🏽
Adults who use the phrase “you have so much potential!” with kids that have #ADHD and are exhibiting normal symptoms of the disorder are hurting those kids. The way to know for sure is to notice what’s next. If it’s any kind of “but” this is not encouragement. It’s harm. /16

On "scholarly bullshit":
IMO this is a very important publication, and while focused on sustainability/transitions, seems to me the archetypes could apply broadly to biological sciences and perhaps beyond.
A thought-provoking read regardless re academic reward systems.

#MarshallFire
We are at McCaslin and Washington in Louisville. Winds are gusting 50mph+ and there’s no stopping the Marshall Fire as it moves from one home to the next.
