The photo shows a wooden fencepost covered by several different species of lichen all growing in a mosaic formation. The different coloured dots are the lichen's fruit. The one with black dots is Lecidella elaeochroma, the one with creamy/brown dots is Lecanora hybocarpa. In between is a green one with no dots called Lecanora compallens. At the top is a ridged green lichen called Diplocia canescens and off to the right and near the bottom are shrubby young Ramalina lichen.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Sharon Camp, Mother of the ‘Plan B’ Contraceptive Pill, Dies at 81
Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.

Great obit—no paywall.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

“Rather than cling to an outdated system, that requires us to fudge the numbers and cosplay climate action with unproven and partial techno-fixes, the EU should focus on real, effective change that results in a positive future for farming and wider society. ”
🆕📣New analysis from @ieep.eu reveals the multiple pathways EU food and farming can take to reduce its emissions, in some scenarios by up to 59% - a transformative step towards meeting EU climate goals📉🎯
