       @grammargirl Ok but am I too old or too young because I get that reference? (It’s old, isn’t it? That darn movie must be getting close to 20 years old now)

       @futurebird @jannem @helplessduck @nancylwayne  I have 2 large ant mounds in my pasture (horses), but I’m further north (Ohio) than what I’m seeing online for their range. Both nests are built under split rail fencing. They’re rather large mounds and I don’t see discrete entrances. I’ve seen plenty of the ants on the fences and they haven’t been  aggressive. Is there an online resource I can use to identify these?

       @futurebird I’ll check out inaturalist and will try to get some good photos. These seem too peaceful to be fire ants, but boy would I hate to be wrong. Thank you!

       @futurebirdEuropean countries with good safety nets also suffer from medical disinformation. Andrew Wakefield, for example, in Britain. Germany has a high rate of vaccine hesitancy, and there’s the pan-European fascination with fizzy water as a cure-all. There are people more knowledgeable than I about this subject, but truly accessible healthcare isn’t an immunization from quackery, though I bet it’s a fabulous harm reducer.

       @stux Let’s be clear, it is satire. This is the kid who started Birds Aren’t Real. I can’t get mad that they’re getting their bag of dumb money.

       @futurebird I’ve almost completely dumped Amazon. I canceled Prime over a year ago, and I’d been a prime subscriber since the program started. Bookshop.org just released a reading app, so that was the final major hurdle. But very occasionally I need something that I can’t get elsewhere, because Amazon has been v good at locking in retailers. So, from multiple per month to 1ce per year Amazon orders
