  1. #SeptemBee 22 - Happy Autumn!

    The #SciArtSeptember theme is "Fellowship" as in "of the Ring" and fun fact! Did you know that of the over 200 taxa named for Tolkien and his works - including dozens of moths, and six recently discovered wasps mostly named for hobbits in the genus "Shireplitis" - there's only one bee?

    And this one's a fellowship destroyer - Austrosphecodes balrog, or as I like to call it, the Balrog bee.

    Are its wings real? Are they metaphorical? We may never know, but we do know that these cuckoo bees are aggressive brood parasites, often attacking solitary bees before laying eggs in their nests. I can imagine a big hairy Gandalf bee at the entrance shouting "You Shall Not Pass!"

  4. #IanMcKellen (‘Gandalf’ to “Lord of the Rings” fans) channeling William Shakespeare in a *400 year old* response to #racist goons violently ‘hunting’ #immigrants is going viral thanks to his recent appearance on the “Late Show with #StephenColbert.”

    You can find it on their #Facebook page (which I won’t toot out), but here’s a YouTube video of the same poignant soliloquy: youtu.be/afK_bXD7pMo?si=l9GfHo

  10. Make the Good

    “I don’t think fantasy really works except when Gandalf says, ‘You don’t get to choose your moment, you just have to live it… He was right—you don’t get to choose the moment—we’re here, we have to live it… by the time you are my age, a lot will have gone down. I want you to focus on the good and to try and make the good in a team effort.” — Kim Stanley Robinson, 2026 Middlebury College Commencement Address

    What can we do — together — that makes these times more livable?
