Image of a pileated woodpecker on a tree. Text says: “Because of the regrowth of forests in Eastern North America and the protection of trees even in suburban and urban areas and … a change in culture and laws that prevented shooting, these birds started to come back.” -Dr. Tom Langen

Over the last few decades, some once-rare birds have made a remarkable comeback. 🐦

Moved the gals (and Domingo) out of the house and into the garage today! I think this level of loaf-mode says they like it! #babychickens #backyardchickens #chickens #springchickens #chickenmom

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

New blog post from an activity we did a few years back that were about to do again! There are a grip of (secular, of course, never anything that rhymes with Shave Hamsey 🙅🏻‍♀️) resources listed here too: www.homeschoolnaturally.com/blog/dyi-cur...

Ew! That’s awful!!

Pay attention to who cared more about maintaining decorum than actively seeking justice.

Like what is wrong with you?!srsly. DO SOMETHING…and I don’t mean censure the one person who stood up to tyranny during the #jointsession.

How fabulous! ♥️💯

Some beach and dolphins for a Friday #mentalhealthminute

Oooo I’ve heard that works well but I haven’t tried it- I was boiling the kettle and putting it in the closed oven w the steaming kettle before this

We are NOT powerless. Here are a few actions you can take TODAY that have a big impact:
-Find 2 or 3 issues that matter most to you & learn more about them
-Call your Representatives
-Become a supporter of your local library
-Read, share, and support independent journalists and publications

Our house is rarely above 65° in winter = sleepy starter. I’d been setting the kettle on and keeping the steaming kettle + starter in the oven but worried that someone (me) was gonna forget, preheat the oven and obliterate my starter & my kettle. Problem solved. Bread coming soon! #sourdough

Awww twinning! ♥️♥️
