Yesterday in the Red River Gorge of KY I saw one of my nemesis birds, this lovely Swainson's warbler who posed, sang, and was eventually photobombed by a rather dashing hooded warbler! I didn't realize how similar these two songs were as Swainson's are very rare where I live.

Summer is in full swing, which means firefly season is here! #DYK that there are 2,000 species of fireflies worldwide? Most communicate with patterns of flashing light: These signals are used to find mates, deceive other firefly species, and avoid predators.

One of the greatest ball players of my generation and a true inspiration athletically, socially and personally for so many. Throughout her career, Pinoe has been a force on the field and a voice for women and queer people. Cannot wait to see the good she goes on to do next β€οΈ

So how DID it become so expensive to go to college in America?
How did a degree go from being a few-thousand dollar commitment you could pay off with a part-time job on days you didn't have class, to something you need to take out tens of thousands of dollars for?
Well...

One time I accidentally used $0.63 more than my allocated $320 in supply money and they took it out of my teacher paycheck

LASD usually goes over budget on overtime by at least $50 million a year.
The #1 reason employees list for why they need to work that overtime is... blank. They just leave it blank.
$50 to $150m over budget per year -- and zero reason listed.

Fire danger is abnormally high this holiday weekend.
URGING you to consider firework alternatives:
- screaming βbang! boom!β at the sky
- dropping a stack of large books on the floor
- wrapping a toga around a candle
- play America the Beautiful while combining Coke and Mentos

I've seen a lot of cool nature this month, but here's something I'd never heard of and learned about last Tuesday while out on a local lake--long-jawed orbweaver spiders conquer our FL freshwater shorelines this time of year. Check out these massive colonial webs! Alachua Co, FL

The vulnerable shouldnβt be in this alone. We should care about each otherβs safety. And I truly believe most people do care, but we need to make it easy to do the right thing. I think this simple slogan would be really effective at changing the social etiquette around masking.
