Bad News: Sawfish Going Extinct
The vast sandy channels and grassy flats of Brazil’s Amazon estuary may be the last, best hope for the beleaguered largetooth sawfish (Pristis pristis) in the Atlantic Ocean. The swimmer, known for its long, tooth-edged snout that looks like some alien saw blade, is one of the world’s most threatened marine creatures, a victim of overfishing and habitat loss.
The shark relative is found around the world in tropical and semitropical seas, but in recent years conservationists have become gravely concerned about Atlantic stocks. The fish may now be extinct in some parts of its Atlantic range, including waters off the southern United States, northern South America, and southern West Africa, researchers report in Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems…

Noooo! I swam with one of these, and it got so close I thought I’d lose a leg but they are amazing (if mildly terrifying)
bird privilege is being able to make loud as fuck noises early in the morning without somebody calling the cops on you
It’s spring here so all the trees are full of car alarms and ring tones and random mooing.
In other words we have Mynahs.
I'm "complicated"
No really. I saw a different GP today as I want use of my hands asap (my gp would be free tomorrow evening) And apparently I am a complex case. Woot? Basically I have no good short term measures to control this flare aside from… steroids and paracetamol.…

Over the last couple years I’ve developed a strategy for dealing with exactly that: Make the Job Smaller. Have the energy to do a little bit of something productive, but the tasks facing you are huge? Don’t even try to finish a whole task. Instead, consider that your assignment is simply Making the Job Smaller. Folding one item of clean laundry out of the pile and putting it away = success. Answering one email you’ve been putting off = success. And so forth. If I try to tackle the entire pile of whatever, it’s overwhelming and I feel like a failure. But Making the Job Smaller is not so hard! I can do that! And then I get to feel better about myself for accomplishing something, however tiny, plus now the job facing me is slightly less huge and scary.

Been trying to do this myself 🙂

There's a new plant hybrid called 'TomTato' that grows both tomatoes and potatoes.
[HORRIFIED SCREAMS OF ITALY ROMANO IN THE DISTANCE]
Not a hybrid, it’s grafted and grafting has been around for ages. Often to make use of a good established root stock. This one is a bit risky because both ends of the plant are trying to produce seeds and storage rather than focus on trying to gather nutrients (more roots/leaves). And the article mentions both these things 😉
If you ever look at plants in a nursery and there is a weird knobbly shape part way up the stem? That’s a graft!
