FYI Charlotte the stingray is not pregnant with shark rays (unfortunately impossible) but she is also not pregnant with clones of herself (also impossible) it's much weirder than that.

Snow falling in Vancouver is a nice time to remind you that CURB CUTS are an accessibility feature. Plowing snow on the streets / shovelling sidewalks and letting it build up at the corners makes it harder to get around.

Science communication is treated like DEI (no funding, not respected by the boys’ club) and it’s a hugeeeee mistake we will all regret in 20 years.

That Bird Guy!@JeffreyMWard10 Nov 2023
Please don’t throw away your mascara wands. Instead, clean with dawn soap, place them in a ziploc bag and mail them to a Wildlife Refuge accepting donations. They can be used to clean away oil, larvae, fly eggs, mites, mud and other contaminants from wildlife. Addresses below 👇🏾

That time photographer Scott Taylor caught an 'angry bird' in real life. His camera captured a moment in which a cardinal’s wings were tucked tightly into its body, making the bird look like a fluffy red ball floating in midair.

Headed home to WV this week to keynote the @TransTechEnergy Conference at @WestVirginiaU. Still today, WV gets 90% of its electricity from coal. Excited to chat with thought leaders across Appalachia on how we can diversify our energy supply and create jobs across the state.

One of my oldest comics is going around. A gentle attempt to poke fun at English common names.
A chart titled "animals with misleading names". There are eight animals with labels. Electric eel: not an eel. Mountain goat: not a goat. Maned wolf: not a wolf. King cobra: Not a cobra. Also, snakes are typically self-governing. Peacock mantis shrimp: Not a peacock. Not a mantis. Also, not a shrimp. Horny toad: Not a toad. Only thinks of you as a friend. Mayfly: Active through the spring and summer. Eastern kingbird: Found in the West. Many birds do not recognize its authority.

Touching this bird will result in numbness & tingling in extremities. Prolonged contact or ingestion can result in paralysis or death. Let's talk about the #birds that can kill you with a touch.

Today, we are announcing that our union will no longer be named for John James Audubon. We will hold a vote to select our new name; in the meantime we will call ourselves The Bird Union.

My friend asked me about Indigenous books I’ve read this year and I’d love to start a thread for him. What’s been your best read over the last three years from an Indigenous author? 🏁
