We've got a big feature out today (with gorgeous photographs) about the Ukrainian conservationists working to save a herd of bison from the ongoing Russian invasion. It's about the hope that conservation can offer in times of war, and the ways that animals' lives are entangled human geopolitics.

Amid the destruction of war, Ukrainian conservationists remain determined to help a European bison herd persevere.
Your word for the day is exuvium (plural exuviae). It is the shed skin/exoskeleton of critters like arthropods, snakes, etc. Here is a freshly emerged dragonfly (so new its wings haven't even gone horizontal yet!) next to the exuvium from its last larval instar. #虫 🌿

This is farfarfar down the list of reasons Twitter is terrible, but it's truly ruined fandom. Whenever I pop my head in to lurk on folks talking hoops, it's nothing but engagement-bait whining about flops & fouls & refs—virtually nothing about the game itself. Such a toxic way to experience sports.
