This is an amazing idea. I’ve toyed with the idea of creating both subject specific and geographic specific groups for my interests but it’s a clunky solution. For example, I like birdwatching, but I want to know what people are seeing around me, not on a continent away, so being able to join a centralized ‘birding’ group then narrow it down geographically would solve the problem of having to create potentially hundreds of sub groups. Same for politics, news, restaurants, etc.
Map Men’s ads are honestly worth watching
I’m east of these beaches this week on vacation. Is this related to the high water temperatures in the Gulf? Saw fish have been driven to strange behavior in southern Florida recently.

But… But I’m real?
Myself and some other managers I know became managers for being competent at our science-based jobs when the company wanted to expand. Our education and career up until this point mostly had not involved learning skills like delegation, teaching, scheduling, and team-budgeting, not to mention the interactive social skills needed to successfully manage individuals.
Some bad managers are just good workers that weren’t able to suddenly learn these skills when their employer insisted they manage a team so it could pursue its endless quest for infinite growth by setting up hierarchies of workers. Good managers are either trained in management or extraordinarily talented.
Is anyone helping them?

I very much miss the Facebook groups of 2018, but there’s so much recommended content, I barely even see my wanted content. When I do see something, it’s only once before it’s buried, even if there’s an evolving discussion in the thread which there rarely is anymore due to the glut of sponsered content.
In the 1980s, that was an extra large soft drink.
Looks like Veronica persica, like the poster above noted, a “speedwell”. It’s exotic and naturalized but I don’t know that it’s invasive as it blooms early, stays low, and seems to only inhabit areas of high disturbance. I always enjoy seeings its flowers

This would be huge
Yes, I have a local wildlife refuge with a long gravel road that heads through the marsh. It’s my sunrise thinking spot. Occasionally run into people I know, but never planned.
This is wild. It’s an annual but sometimes you can keep them alive longer. I wonder if they programmed a kill switch in so you can’t do vegetative propogation or sterilized it so you can’t produce seeds.

Nature photography, post results on iNaturalist for IDs, compare against what’s in your area, try and catch them all, Pokémon-style.
I’ve been making cold brew with an in-jar filter that is more complicated than it should be but still not hard except for the pre planning for a few days in advance when I’m traveling for work. I’m definitely going to try it the way you describe though.
Excellent write-up and thank you.
