Do I plant my spring veggies? Do I clean up the yard next month? Do I leave things be?
Is there a way I can support local insects? Are the bees going to wake up and starve? I have a small bed of native plants, but nothing is coming out of the ground yet and IT WAS SIXTY DEGREES YESTERDAY

Spring seems like it's here in Southern Michigan. My mom is sighting red wing blackbirds, though they shouldn't be here until late March. It was 60 degrees in the middle of February
What do I do? (Aside from burying the dread)
Honest question--is there something I can do to help the insects??

Dissociating. Staying informed while not becoming conspiratorial is a full time job. Really sucks that most people irl act like everything is fine, it makes me want to scream. Doing my best to find mutual aid/solidarity work locally, but knowing we aren't organized nearly as well as the right is

It's the worst way to cross over from Michigan into Ontario, honestly. The exit isn't well-marked, meaning sometimes you accidentally go to Canada, and it always feels like a hassle

They are so caught up in an obsession with reproduction that families become trapped in cycles of poverty. Desperate parents are encouraged to use physical violence to control their children
For girls growing up in this world, it's easy to feel like a non-person, like a possession for male use

They are made to be so ashamed, yet ignorant of, anything to do with bodies and sexuality that they become easy prey. Fathers arranging marriages was a very popular practice with the Mike Johnson crowd

Girls and AFAB children especially are denied access to basic education under the guise of religious liberty. If they do go on to college, it's likely they'll be funneled into a private christian college
In extreme cases they are not given documentation at birth and cannot legally work or vote
