Your half-fortnight's worth of arachnid art, goings-on, natural history, and taxonomy! https://oulipo.link/YuHmV4
In today's post: aquatic arañas, how to look at tiny arachnids living on your skin, how to quickly find tomato-munching arachnids, a cool finding about silk, and so on.

Sorry for polluting local with that glyph in my links y'all. I thought oulipo.link was an automatic part of Oulipo. Did toot-string again with short-links.
Fossil scorpions from Wisconsin go back 430 million sun-orbits, possibly among first land animals: https://oulipo.link/1gcKps

I will try to toot an oulipo-compliant summary or two or four.
Arachnids, in a nut-husk: octo-limb arthropods ("bugs"), comprising not just silk-producing "Spinns" (as folks might say in Munich), scorpions, ticks and kin, but not-scorpions, whiptail scorpions, whipscorpions (no tail), microwhip scorpions, vinagrillos, and so on.

it is okay to post a link on oulipo that got a fifth-glyph in it! BUT if you think hiding that glyph is what you want to do, you can go to https://oulipo.link/ for making a good glyph shortlink.

At last, it's that point in our solar orbit for my annual posting of that old (auld?) folks' song, by "batfancy" Tim (who is not Josh Billings), ft. jubilant horn: https://timeriksen.bandcamp.com/track/song-of-the-old-folks-auld-lang-syne
Hanukkah with sis & roomy was fun! Frying latkas, Christmas jazz, much aww'ing at cat. Now, hot mint infusion & food-coma.
Happy Christmas, Oulipo! 🎄
