Getting this out early to let you know that today is World Turtle Day (for realsies, cross my heart,) so go out and find yourself a turtle – it should be warm enough throughout most of the US to spot one someplace. Or if you don’t want to do that, you can always donate to the
Today is World Turtle Day, which I only discovered by reading Why Evolution Is True just a few minutes ago. As such, I am ill-prepared, and can only resort to a photo from a few days back for something current.
