A great way to support native bees and pollinators is by planting native plants. No yard? Try pots/planters! Even California natives (which can be picky about water) can work well!! I’m particularly fond of native geophytes paired with native succulents or other perennial for year-round color. 🌼

Starting tomorrow, you can watch fish traffic via an underwater camera livestreaming from an Utrecht canal. If you spot waiting 🐟, you can ping an operator to open the Weerdsluis lock gate & let them through. Highly recommend this for easing elevated stress levels, or if you just like helping fish

Evolve or be left behind, Fellas. Women aren’t going to slum it with racist, bigoted, sexist losers.

So what you're saying is that this is a perfect time to remove all fuel efficiency and emission standards across the country?

I love when people reminisce about the 60s as a more innocent time.

March is Long Covid Awareness month, because March is a lot like long covid in that every time you think it looks nice enough to go be active outside, you quickly regret it.

If I might ask one more thing to be Aware of (for March only, don’t tax yourselves),people with LC are not hypochondriacs, they are not anti-social, they did not want an excuse to isolate forever, they are not doomers, and they are not faking.

They are sick, so being an asshole to them is beastly.

I have a few screens that need to be swapped for metal 😬

I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

"You cannot teach Texas history honestly without confronting conquest, segregation, labor exploitation, border regimes, and racialized policymaking. You cannot 'balance' away genocide or dispossession. To pretend otherwise is not rigor—it is refusal."
