Discovered today that this banana spider who has been living in our carpet this summer found herself a boyfriend (the smaller one. Harder to see.)

A large golden orb weaver or banana spider sits in the center of a web. A smaller spider shares the web. The background is a kayak rack containing four kayaks and a canoe on the floor of a cement carport.

I haven't seen that one but we have this one on our wall. I wonder if there's a connection.

Square painting in dark wood frame. Painting is predominantly shades of yellow. Two redwing blackbirds are in the foreground of a field. A farm is in the distance and beyond it some hills.

Went to clean out the pool skimmer (obvs it needed it) and found this enormous lady chilling upside down in a web she'd made to stay out of the water.

A large black widow spider is suspended upside down on an invisible web above a circular pool skimmer basket full of water and plant and insect detritus.

And there was merch! I'm way too young to have been there but I always show my American lit students this photo I took at a flea market in 2017 that answers the number one question people ask us Early Americanists: "What did Ben Franklin smell like?"

Saw the broadhead skink in the mulberry tree on campus again. Today it was using the trans flag rock as a cushion.

A red and brown broadhead skink tests is had on a small rock painted with the trans flag in the fork of a tree.

Beautiful broadhead skink by the secret trans flag in the mulberry tree on campus.

A reddish brown lizard and a small clay image of the trans flag sit in the fork of an old tree.

If the English major is dead why is Walmart selling an MLA doll?

A caucasian girl doll with long blonde hair wearing large red glasses, a plaid skirt, and a grey sweater with a large, blue applique that reads, "MLA" sits in a pink box labeled, "Sydney " which is probably the doll's name.
