Walt Whitman was born OTD in 1819. Song of Myself is a singularly Darwinian poem. The re-placing of natural theological tropes in a thoroughly naturalistic setting is characteristic of both. 🧪🦫🦋🐋🌱#HistSTM #BookSky
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars, And the pismire is equally perfect, and a grain of sand, and the egg of the wren, And the tree-toad is a chef-d'oeuvre for the highest, And the running blackberry would adorn the parlors of heaven, And the narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery, And the cow crunching with depress'd head surpasses any statue, And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels. I find I incorporate gneiss, coal, long-threaded moss, fruits, grains, esculent roots, And am stucco'd with quadrupeds and birds all over,

🌳🌱 Did you know woody plants can reshape soil health in #drylands? A study by Martha Mary Farella, David D. Breshears and Rachel Gallery shows that woody plant cover alone can predict nearly 50% of #soil function changes, including nutrient levels and microbial activity.

"The Executive Order does not provide any standards for non-scientific information. As a consequence, this Executive Order is positioning policymaking to ignore scientific evidence by holding it to unachievable standards, and to use ideology and non-scientific information by holding it to no standards at all."

anti-trans stuff, restrooms

The last three paragraphs of this article are very important.

As I write this, I am in a hotel bed, in the middle of the country, on day two of a 1200 mile move from a "do not travel" state to a "blue state" (on Erin's map).

Existing (openly) as anything other than cis-gender in so much of America is too big of a threat to personal safety.

I just hope that the safety that "blue" states provide doesn't collapse on us.

Xiaoma in this video tries to communicate with Bonobo apes using their language. I was surprised that the researcher was interested he wasn't just wanting an ape to speak in a human or human contrived language. I would always start with speaking in their language. How better to bridge the communication gap?

Most fungal viruses don’t seem to do much of anything to their hosts, but others cause sickness or offer surprising benefits."
