  1. Got some peat for our garden. Buying peat for a garden is very destructive for the environment and peat wetlands are disappearing at a horrific rate. But this was left after someone dredged their fish ponds and dumped it near our village store . At first I thought there was a lot of white plastic in it, but on closer inspection it turned out to be shells of swan mussels, Anodonta cygnea, a sign that the ponds were free of toxic substances.

  7. everyone has heard of the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus, a joke made up for a poorly-thought out survey of what 1990s people believed on the internet, but somehow nobody has heard of the Mangrove Jingle Shell Clam, a real and amazing animal I learned about from @KateShaw

    hopefully Dr. Dan Killam @dantheclamman can provide us all with more information on this animal.

  8. Quahogs are VERY long-lived clams. This wise one was born 100 years before Shakespeare. Cherish them.

    If you eat them, venerate their little clam bodies first.
