Oh @Poshmarkapp why are you doing me wrong? You took $2800+ from my bank account for an unauthorized payment and then told me there is nothing you can do? This is how you treat loyal customers?

Was hoping to get off of Twitter (X). If you’re on BlueSky will you follow me? [at]ticklab.bsky.social. Meanwhile, are folks planning to still use X during #EntSoc24 this week? I want to leave but am also nervous to cut this cord! @EntsocAmerica

Well it finally happened…we ran out of unique colors for our #tick mark-recapture work. TBH we didn’t expect I scap nymphs to live this long in mowed lawns. Week 8! 😳

#FranTick doesn’t get out much, mostly because she is HUGE and has limited peripheral vision (and ahem, we have research to do). But I kinda keep hoping someone will double-dog dare me to take her to a conference full of #tick nerds who might appreciate how truly great she is!
