Some sort of parasite?

I think it’s a joke, implying that the poppy seeds on that bagel are the eyes of that insect.

[mikeschinlaub]

I didn’t even notice they were bagels. Didn’t look close enough.

An intersection of nature and positive psychology: clam your mind!

This one requires two steps to relate it to nature. Step 1:

@jasonhernandez74

Phylogenetic pedantry only makes nature even less accessible to laypersons, which is the opposite of iNaturalist’s purpose.

Step 2:

“Pedants’ meeting in the room behind this door” (Yes, adding the apostrophe is pedantic!)

“Pedants’ meeting in the room behind this door” (Yes, adding the apostrophe is pedantic!)

Oooh! I’ll play this game!

I’d say that if the society belongs to pedants, then the apostrophe is needed. If the society consists of pedants, then the apostrophe is not.

[AdamWargon]

My intended meaning was, not a society, but a meeting belonging to pedants

What would you do about the journal Dipterists Digest? There are two places you could put the apostrophe, but not having one at all is very misleading. I haven’t resigned over it yet though.
