In case anyone was wondering what the gay gen Z agenda is today I just checked on my youngest and today it's apparently handsewing a quilt for Anderson. Which is not Robert Evan's dog it's his friend's dog who is not Saddam Hussein's best friend that's a cat and so is Chairman Meow. It's Sophie's (?) dog? "It's like you don't even pay attention." It's a really nice quilt. Not even machete themed.

If that is a 'yes'...I have a question. I think I know the answer, but looking for discussion. (for those of you who disdain shoptalk, we apologize, in advance). I'm reviewing biological data from a US National Survey. I've come across two names, genus level, of midges that have previously been known from only Europe. I've been doing this for 30+ years, and am a bit flabbergasted. Thoughts?

I quit the bird site for good two days ago (posted about it already). Since then, I’ve deleted Mastodon and Spoutible. The remaining, soon-to-be-ditched account? Post.news. They make it more challenging to quit. You have to email them from the email addy you used to set up the account, with “Deactivate & Delete” in the subject line. Irksome and gives me even more reason to quit them. TLDR: CoSo won.
On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress issued the Declaration of Independence with only one paragraph removed: Thomas Jefferson’s attack on slavery.
"[King George] has waged cruel war against human nature itself," Jefferson wrote, "violating its most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither.”
