For many of us, this is our first Christmas on a new social media platform. We, who have fled the birdsite, navigate a somewhat strange and unfamiliar landscape (much like how Mary, Joseph, and Jesus had to flee King Herod into Egypt!). Picture Apartheid Clyde as King Herod, and Mastodon as Egypt, and...well you get the idea. 😜 I'm actually atheist now, but a good Bible story still comes in handy! 😉

Here is my *animated* holiday season greeting card to all of you! http://jlcards.com/5V8dn2

Will edit this as I learn of others, because editing a toot is something you can do here!

(And I will never not call this a toot.)

The adorable Venezuelan poodle moth was discovered and photographed in 2009 by Dr. Arthur Anker. It’s supposedly the only sighting of this critter, but insects are small and Earth is big. #nature #photography #SharedPlanet

Just imagine the diversity of species we haven’t found yet…
