Yes! I have friends who definitely would be interested!

I love this idea! I too am rewilding my front yard and get all kinds of side eye from the neighbors.

And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.

In celebration of #openingday and #scifri here a throw back post about the amazing work our members do at the Forest Products Lab. They made wooden bats 50% safer! www.usda.gov/about-usda/n... #bettertogether #holdtheline #nffestrong #letUsWork #saveourservices

You won’t want to miss this! I attended both previous sessions and learned each time. So fun and informative! Plus you can network with other creative folks and learn from them.

Good to know! I want to attend again, because I want to take more notes (so much great info!). But I also wanted to make room for those who didn’t attend the first time.

Best to ask @sarahmackattack.bsky.social whether there will be additional offerings beyond the March 18 class. She is outstanding to follow and shares knowledge generously (especially about 🦑).

I took this last week and HIGHLY recommend it. Informative, lots of practical tips, and solidarity with folks looking to make a difference. And it was also very fun!

Email sent! Thank you!

A stranded colorwork beanie with a band of bees and coneflowers around the bottom and a honeycomb stitch top. This one uses a dark blue/green background and a green/yellow/orange gradient yarn for the contrasting color.

This beanie features a lime green back ground and bees and coneflowers done with 2 colors - dark brown and magenta/peach.

This view shows the honeycomb stitch and the way it narrows down to meet at the top of the hat in a star shape. Behind is a flowering jade plant. #gardening

This is my latest beanie pattern that I just published to Ravelry today. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
Bees, coneflowers & honeycomb worked in either 2 or 3 colors. 🧶🌱🐡

These are gorgeous! Is the one with blue still available?

I would love to join, and it has been shyness that has prevented me from asking. Thank you for the feed; it is a delight and escape from doomscrolling.

I have been meaning to sign up and this pushed me to do it! Can’t wait!

It’s not too late to improve the situation until we’re all dead.

This is another of my own key takeaways from reading a lot of history.

This is one of those days when the wind howls, the fuels are dry, and the fire eats homes. But winds like this can't last forever. We need to be in position with a plan before those winds start to recede.

Good luck all. 7/7

What Is Resilience Targeting? Resilience targeting inflicts hopelessness and cynicism. These skills can help you stay motivated and hopeful when the whole world feels like a disaster.

Since announcing this, tiktok went down, came back, & blasted Trump propaganda 2x. The internet will be an even tougher place for science.

I have enough to fund ~5 of these projects. More than 5 should be funded. They're going to be v important.

Help us fund more if you can.

One of the best books I read last year, and I almost didn’t read it. I mistakenly thought reading about the struggle of the black working class against white supremacy in our country would sadden me even more after the election. Instead it gave me much needed perspective, learning, and hope.

I will be reading this again and again in the days ahead and taking the wisdom in it to heart and to action, even if my actions feel small and inconsequential in the face of it all.

Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten I had followed him.

I just found my 2025 motto: Joy & spite, y’all.

I am extremely excited to announce that for the first time ever, Skype a Scientist is offering mini-grants to support IRL science communication!!

Communicating science out in our communities is critical. We want to enable others to get their projects off the ground!
