A bald-faced hornet was GAGA over my Late Figwort last fall. What a beautiful creature. Huge!

I'm doing all of these, & even my baby native pocket plantings (most will be year 2, some year 3, goldenrod on year 4) have such a huge diversity in pollinators! I specifically planted a section near my rasp bramble for wasps & got loads of cool buddies already! πŸ₯°

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees?

Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey.

The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

Transgender Chicago man hospitalized after saving baby from drowning in Lake Michigan β€œI wasn’t going to let that baby die,” Lio Cundiff said.

This 30-year-old transgender man, who can’t swim, jumped into Lake Michigan after a wind gust blew a baby in a stroller into the freezing water.

He’s being called a hero. But now he has medical expenses, and people are donating to a fundraiser to support him.

Screen shot of Oliver the Musical's famous scene where he asks for more food, holding out his empty bowl. Oliver is a young white blonde boy, slightly grubby bc he's an orphan. The meme has "please sir, I want some less" written on it, as a play on the movie quote "please sir, I'd like some more"

Please give. Ian is legit.

Also I am angrier with every passing second. One or two ultrawealthy persons could relieve all of this now

It’s beautiful that regular people are doing their best here but it’s also extremely fucked up

Why have we heard nothing?!? And yes, statistically black people do not hang themselves. Trump has made bigots and racists bold again.

House Democrats try to shut down disruptions at Trump's State of the Union Jeffries told his members to either show "silent defiance" or boycott the speech.

Trump is in the Epstein files thousands of times, he is shredding the first amendment, he is brazenly corrupt, he is opening concentration camps in their districts, and he is starting an unprovoked war with Iran. WHY WOULD YOU NOT DISRUPT THE STATE OF THE UNION.

The whole D leadership needs to go.

Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them!

The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.

Poor Lenny had a cone bc he had a front fang removed. I released him after 24 hrs bc my sweet dude already has late stage kidney disease & high BP; he's suffered enough! (he also was v good about not pawing his face + kept scooping water up in the cone while trying to drink πŸ™ƒ)

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

The SAVE act also forces states to submit their voter registration lists to the DHS! I know we’ve been focused on voter ID but that’s only the tip of the iceberg !

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

β€œFour of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. β€œI looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.

Handsewn acrylic felt whale shark plush, sitting on a rustic looking tree stump outside. He is dark blue on top & light blue below, with a gray flappy mouth & shiny safety eyes. The top of the shark is dotted with many tiny French knots (that took forever to stitch)

Love your art piece! My faves are definitely whale sharks. I hand-sewed this guy & he already found a home, but I kinda want to stitch another for me (even though the French knots were a nightmare)

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Trump Using A β€˜Softer Touch’ With ICE In Minnesota? Residents Say Don’t Be Fooled. Two weeks after Alex Pretti’s killing, federal agents have shown no signs of backing down. The resistance definitely hasn't.

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

No due process, no court dates, no access to lawyers, inhumane living conditions, and rampant abuse against detaineesβ€” all under the guise of immigration enforcement.

It's systemic torture in these concentration camps. The regime are deliberately pushing these people to breaking point for sport.
