Close-up of Pixie Cup lichen (Cladonia species) growing in a patch of moss on a woodland bank. Thin upright stalks rise from a leafy green base and end in small cup-shaped tips. The cups look like tiny goblets or trumpets standing above a miniature moss forest.
Had a different glimpse ot the minature forest when I saw this PIxie Cup (Cladonia species) while Iooking for liverworts..
Ohhhh thank you, of course thatโs it!! I live in the middle of a forest, I was just looking at a maple with a space like that.
I have that, havenโt read it yet. Just moved it to the better to-read pile. Piles. ๐๐

Iโm lichen it so far! :) If you are interested in forests, one of my favorite books ever is The Hidden Forest by Jon Luoma.
Iโve given away so many copies. You should go visit the forest!

Of the 100 top highest-grossing films in 2025, the average age of a female lead or co-lead was 34 years old. The average for her male equivalent was 42 years. The average age for a woman lead has never been over the age of 36 since studies began in 2007.

This stunning woodblock print, created circa 1930 by Narazaki Eishล, offers a vertically oriented composition that captures a quiet nocturnal moment. The artwork features a large, brown-feathered owl with striking yellow eyes perched on a thick, dark tree limb that curves upward from the bottom right. The owlโs head is turned toward the viewer, its feathers detailed with soft, textured strokes. Surrounding the bird is a "radiant" display of pale white cherry blossoms, their delicate forms standing out against a muted, dusty blue twilight sky. Below the branch, the scene reveals a dark, silhouetted forest line bordering a body of water. The water reflects a shimmering, golden "luminous" light, likely from a moon hidden from view, which creates a rhythmic pattern of highlights across the ripples. The balance between the solid, dark form of the tree and the ethereal beauty of the blossoms and water reflections exemplifies the mastery of early 20th-century Japanese printmaking.
Japanese woodblock print titled "Owl and Cherry" , created circa 1930. It is the work of artist Narazaki Eisho (1864โ1936), who also produced art under the pseudonyms Fuyo, Kyokudo, and Shinjo.
Ok, but why is Graham Platner actually a thing? Wtf is wrong with yall?
Of course Platner knew what his Nazi symbol was. It changed his life. His tattoos were reviewed when he asked to return active duty; a trained officer looked for violations. The sleeve tattoos were OK. The Totenkopf was not. Platner chose to keep it. Somewhere in DoD, itโs all written down. 5/
This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. Itโs about how he lies like a toddler when heโs cornered. And thatโs enough. Heโs not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/
One thing I'm watching for in the wake of the war in Iran: what happens to the Asiatic cheetah. This subspecies now only lives in Iran, with a population of just a few dozen, and wildlife never fares well in the wake of war and destabilization. ๐๐งช
The Guardian on our new study, which shows that global heating is significantly gathering speed. Our efforts to overcome our fossil fuel addiction should do the same.

That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).
The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

New study from one of the most prominent climate research institutes in the World (in Germany) shows global warming is accelerating - a lot. The most recent decade 2015-2025 has seen the rate of warming almost double!! 1/

Not that it matters, but I have traced her ancestry extensively going through multiple generations and centuries. This is not true and appears to simply be echoing false claims made by prominent white supremacist Peter Brimelow.

Photo of a few square inches of tree trunk. Growing on the tree trunk are several grey lichens (growing flat on tree), a lichen that looks like a bunch of tiny egg yolks, and a bright red fungus that looks like a half dozen or so round/oval red blobs.
