A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

A Zhoran-style sign reading "Schumer for Retirement"

Schumer needs to be replaced. We deserve a better Democratic party than this.

Middle aged woman dressed like the Steve Buscemi How Do You Do, Fellow Kids? meme, holding a cat

How do you do, fellow cats?

QED, LOL

So joyful, love it

A- congrats!
B- that book has a very lovely cover
C- I recently finished reading Crossings and really enjoyed it. Definitely a perspective-shifting book, thanks!

A cluster of calyxes on a slender stem. The normally empty-appearing dry calyxes are all filled with a white fluffy material.

Any entomology folks able to help me figure what's going on in this bee balm seed head? iNat suggests Neortholomus scolopax (a seed bug) but I can't find much useful information beyond that...

Could also possibly be a fungus of some sort?

Cry for Judas, IMO, but there's a lot of room at the top of their catalogue

We can always use more creams and powders!

Doesn't make sense! Also curious why @repangiecraig.bsky.social voted to honor the legacy of Charlie Kirk, a man who said stoning gay people to death is "God's perfect law".

My new washing machine keeps reminding me to connect it to the internet. The biggest selling point: it can alert me if someone is at my doorbell!

I think you've got four more first instar black swallowtail cats in that picture too!

Top ten bug right there

😂 agreed! My top ten is basically the ten I most recently got a decent photo of...

Nothing to see here. Not an ambush bug hiding in the middle of a coreopsis. Nope.

Just spotted this guy today!

A red, orange and black moth sits on a coneflower. The colors of the disc flowers perfectly echo those of the moth's wings.

Evolution is an incredible artist. I was happy to find this weird little guy in my garden yesterday.

I'm not proud of this joke

John was very serious about finding a Replacement bassist

Indie store exclusive, it appears:

Oh man, I'm excited to hear the tracks with Tommy Stinson on the recording.

Also, Rocks in my Pockets... Either about walking into the sea or hiking with my 5 year old. Can't wait to find out!

A yellow ox-eye with a pair of fuzzy long-horned bees and a shiny green sweat bee. This party don't stop.

Ain't no party like an ox-eye party
Cuz an ox-eye party has multiple bee species.

Recently switched to a combo washer/dryer machine. Put in dirty laundry, it comes out clean and dry. Apparently Europe has had these for decades?!

Proud of my state senator. Any chance the GOP has a conscience?

Gorgeous! Catchfly is on my list to plant this fall.

A black swallowtail butterfly rests on a stem. It is mostly black with orange, blue and pale yellow markings.

In honor of #invertefest the black swallowtail my kids have been raising from a caterpillar decided to emerge today.

It came into the house on a native flower bouquet from our garden that included golden alexanders.

A black swallowtail grasping to a stick, freshly emerged from its chrysalis. It's mostly black with orange, blue and pale yellow markings.

And here it is!

Anytime a child is murdered with a gun, it's God's plan - nothing can be done!

Anytime someone has an abortion, it's the work of the devil - arrest and punish anyone involved!
