Great Lakes Food Webs Science: Mysid Shrimp
“Night, when words fade and things come alive” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
One of the species the Lower Trophic Food Webs lab is responsible for monitoring in the Great Lakes is Mysis diluviana (previously called M. relicta which is native to Northern Europe), the Opossum Shrimp (order Peracarida, family Mysidae). For a member of the zooplankton, this species is quite large (up to 25 mm in…

Lots to do yet but the new Kitten¹ settings section (that’s common to all Kitten apps / Small Web places) is coming along nicely. (With the general style/layout borrowed from Domain².)
(It’s currently a single page and I’m breaking it up into multiple ones because it’s time.)
Once I’m done with this I should really record a screencast of Kitten’s new backup and restore feature/data portability.

I'd add another thing about this episode, @…. Dumfries doesn't need a Town Board. A Town Board is a profoundly anti-democratic idea, and we shouldn't support it. In my ideal world Dumfries would self organise as a small number of communes, but in achievable near term reality what Dumfries needs is a Burgh Council, as it used to have.

Now, more than a century after the company’s founding, the massive family fortune built from…
