This man was bullied, humiliated and robbed by ice and is too traumatized to work. He's a citizen and they told him "when your citizenship is revoked we'll be back to get you." They're still at $10

Consider your sign to stop and stare at logs a little more often because just LOOK at this glorious velvet mite! (Third photo is where it was spotted.)

a photo of a cotton patch with a stenciled design on it. the design is of a four-toothed mason wasp working at a table, forming a piece of clay in to a pot. the wasp's wings buzz as it works.

A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.

In Japanese, nudibranch is γ‚¦γƒŸγ‚¦γ‚· (umiushi) which literally means sea cow and I think today's #Nudivember fully earns that name.

Digital sketch of a cartoon moth and bee kneeling down together. The bee is wrapped in a floral blanket, holding a mug of something warm and looking tired and sad. The moth has one arm outstretched to comfort them and is looking on with concern and care.
