Well, no one pointed out that I completely forgot to post the carnival barking last week, so this week’s entry is a bit long to make up for those I didn’t point out last week.
Weekend Cat Blogging #45 has some great photos for you to check out. Before looking at Weekend Cat Blogging #46, make sure you put the rolls of toilet paper someplace where they can’t see the screen. If you don’t, they’ll scream “Massacre!” once they see those pictures. How terribly funny — and disturbingly familiar.
108th Carnival of the Cats also starts with some great photos and links to a lot more. Carnival of the Cats #109 is a somewhat sad affair as the hosts came home to work on the post only to find one of their rabbits, Rambo Rabbeet, had died. But the carnival goes on, and you’ll find links to a lot of great cat photos and stories.
The 38th Carnival of the Godless has the Easter Edition up this time. This is always an excellent read.
Birds in the News 54 (v2n5) has great photos as always, and there’s a lot of interesting news as well. If nothing else, go check out the photo of the bird sitting on the dog’s head. Cute. Birds in the News 55 (v2n6) once again has some absolutely stunning bird photos (the first one of a male magnolia warbler is beautiful, but also check out the tiny pygmy owl) in addition to some very interesting news updates, including something about some roosters becoming sociopathic rapists.
I and the Bird #22 presents the best of bird blogging and is full of good stuff (and lots of photos at the linked articles).
Grand Rounds, Vol. 2, No. 30 is the medical blogosphere’s little get together and always has compelling and interesting stuff to read. Grand Rounds 2:31 is rather extensive. There’s a lot of good stuff here, not to mention some very interesting stories.
The Carnival Of Education: Week 63 and The Carnival Of Education: Week 64 have the best of educational blogging and cover a great many topics. Go get your learnin’ on. Everybody gots to have ’em an edumacation.
Carnival of Feminists 13 is a new blog carnival I’ve recently started reading. I originally ignored it because I was not so much interested in what I thought to be a carnival dedicated to such a specific issue, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it is a diverse and enjoyable circle of posts about many topics. While they are all written from a somewhat feminist perspective, I found the majority of the entries to be thoughtful, contemplative, inclusive, and compelling. I’ll watch this one more closely in the future and will include it when/if appropriate.
Friday Ark #83 is a summary of the best animal news and photos from around the blogosphere. Go on; get yer critter fix. You know you want to. Friday Ark #84 is a bit sparse this week as the “Ark crew is traveling and expects to have limited net accesss for the next four days. Boardings will be slow….”
Carnival of the Vanities #188 is the oldest blog carnival showcasing the best writing on any topic. Disappointingly hosted at IMAO, there’s no surprise the political section is replete with sardonic conservatism and ignorance, but the carnival is still worth a visit to see some truly excellent work on a myriad of topics (just ignore the host’s stupidity that leaks in from time to time).
Tangled Bank 52 always has the best science blogging, and this time its also been compiled with a very entertaining Star Wars theme. Good stuff.
The 33rd Skeptics’ Circle is presented as a research report this time around. Take a look and fulfill your daily requirement of incredulity.
