Thank you for this native bee content OPB! I only started learning about native bee diversity in the last few years and it’s very like, Because I Knew You
I Have Been Changed For Good

Hell Yes Krystle 📷

Planting yarrow, goldenrod, and aster is a great way to support our native bee buds 🐝

A photographer’s quest to document native bees includes an annual search along the California-Oregon border Since 2021, she’s traveled annually to the Oregon-California border to look for a critically endangered bee last seen in 2006 – Bombus franklini, or Franklin’s bumblebee.

Krystle Hickman is on a quest to document hundreds of species of native bees, which are under threat by climate change and habitat loss, some of it caused by the more recognizable and agriculturally valued honey bee — an invasive species.

The way I identify with this HITS HARD

Then I talked to my friend who is also the child of parents that have stayed married but they seem so badly suited to each other

And he feels the same way

Celebrating Friday
With Nancy And Sluggo

I would party with the Do Not Hire backlist crew, getting wasted and going through old issues of rethinking schools, a fashion show of our Too Too Political t shirts/buttons/earrings, yelling out skibidi toilet 6-7 more like 9-11 because who cares

Google Fulfilled ICE Subpoena Demanding Student Journalist’s Bank and Credit Card Numbers Amandla Thomas-Johnson didn't know how much information ICE requested in a subpoena now. Google never gave him a chance to fight it.

A student attended a protest targeting companies that supplied Israel with weapons.

He was banned from Cornell University and ICE subpoenaed Google for his personal data, including credit card and bank account numbers:

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

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.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I 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.

As someone who recently endured the process of buying a car at dick hannah

I truly concur

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

How Minnesota’s Queer-Owned Businesses Are Leading the Fight Against ICE As the federal occupation continues, community members are committing themselves to standing up to the feds while supporting the state’s immigrant communities in any way possible.

for @autostraddle.bsky.social, i wrote about how minnesota's queer-owned businesses (and queer folks in general) are standing up to ICE and defending their communities:

When it comes to sports I only care about basketball

The Seahawks are the closest NFL team I have but in this game I was mostly hoping for a Patriots loss

“Oh, did a sportsball happen?” I whisper smugly from my vantage point on a distant cliff, the sounds of celebration in the village far below just barely audible over the lonely wind whipping my tattered cloak

it's all laughs until we need new Glusenkamp Perezes and where do you think those come from

get in losers, we're absolutely defending PCEF as the voters passed it

Ron Wyden Only Talks Like This When The Spies Do Something *Real* Bad No, I don't know what they did. But I have a lot of experience with the senator

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

COEXIST Inc @coexistinc X.com When I lived with Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, she would go through great lengths not to pay rent. One time, she attempted to pay with 100 pounds of rotten avocados she found while dumpster diving in Portland. I used to find this story charming, but not since she voted to fund DHS.

there is an incredible amount of mgp lore coming out of sw washington and portland right now
