How my colleagues bicker like they're never going to die, but they will, and their nemesis from another department will dance on their grave.---from How to Grieve Like A Victorian, an academic novel wrapped up in a grief novel by @amycarolreeves.bsky.social. #SundaySentence #Booksky

Arkady Renko ranks among my favorite characters in fiction, and i was so sad with Cruz’s passing this year. Just now read his last one. My #sundaysentence: “Regardless of denomination, a church always felt as though it needed its windows opened”

This is terrible news. I can't vouch for accuracy of the homicide details, but multiple sources at this point do confirm Rob Reiner and wife Michele Reiner have been murdered. #RobReiner

Yannis Baladi on how working for chimpanzees and monkeys a an African primate sanctuary changed his life. (The headline @theguardian.com SHOULD clarify: NOT living with a baby monkey as a pet.) #primates #anthropology #animalrescue #animalsanctuary #primatesarenotpets

Thanks to @sabs.bsky.social for inviting my thoughts on leopard-seal moms' behaviors at pup death, reported by Sperou et al.; I ask, shouldn't maternal grief (not only post-mortem attention) be considered in peer-reviewed science? #animalemotion #pinnipeds #wildlife #polarbiology #multispecies 🧪
