I’d like to wish a happy belated National Siblings Day to my sisters. I’m so thankful to have them in my life!

We Spent More On One Warship Than All the National Parks Combined – Let That Sink In The NPS budget is so low as to be laughable, or intentional.

The best oysters in the world are the old salts from Chincoteague Island and I’ll fight anyone that says otherwise. πŸ¦ͺ

Hopeful headlines: Seals, night parrots, beavers, snow leopards, salamanders, ash trees and giant anteaters! A study shows conservation works, and so do these headlines.

Totally agree in how she handled the MIL, but what does she do about the husband not backing her?

I say WTF so often now the words have ceased to have distinct meaning and have become a mantra. I’m going to escape out on a trail tomorrow in SNP, and try to get my emotional blood pressure back down. Take care of you. πŸ«‚

It’s a wintery wonderland out there. Hope everyone is warm and safe.

I love this so much. And it has a badger, which makes it extra, extra awesome.

The snow has melted (mostly) to reveal the snowdrops waiting patiently underneath.

Senior U.S. official to exit after rift with Musk allies over payment system A top Treasury career staffer, David A. Lebryk, announced his retirement. Surrogates of Musk’s DOGE effort had sought access to sensitive payment systems.

What the f*** is this? There’s a lot of hinky stuff going on right now, but this seems extra suspicious.

Uggh. Dental stuff unreasonably stresses me, so that sounds pretty horrifying. But I’m glad that it’s all done!
I still have work that I need to do. I had to have 2 back teeth pulled because they cracked for unknown reasons, and while 1 of them does’t matter, the other 1 needs to have an implant.
