@zefrank.bsky.social I have other images but no video footage from the firefly workshop from which this was taken if you need.

I did, yes :)

Needs an office cat

I’m curious for the follow up

Need a banana for scale!

Hiding my head in a flower sounds pretty good tonight…

Where’s the TED talk about rebranding oneself for a work visa abroad? And how would I move my cat? I’m spiraling.

Where the locals will never quite get the importance of the jellied cranberry sauce in the shape of a can 😓

Gross day. Flood the feed with cats instead. #cats

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Oooo these are stunners!

My feed has hit a sweet spot. The fight for democracy… then cool bugs to rest my soul… then more scary news… then cool down with a cute cat. A needed balance of Sweet n salty blue sky community ❤️ kinda like this Wheel Bug

How will Trump's 25-50% retaliatory tariffs on Colombia affect prices/availability of goods in the United States?

Here are our main imports. Gas, coffee, and flowers are the big ones.

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.

Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

Time to tuck in… #caturday

I’ve learned #bloomscrolling is a thing! Thanks to @alexwild.bsky.social So let me contribute the tiniest little 🍩 sprinkles of hope. I think they’re brunnera? I’m a bug girl … less with the plant ID haha.

Stuff those pockets with pollen girl.

A favorite. Melissodes sp. an Ironweed specialist whose babies need this specific pollen to develop.

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Didn’t know what to do with all my feelings today. But then I saw a post by @jencross.bsky.social saying, being kind is a simple way to battle the tide of gloom. And so I shall. Until I figure out what more I can do. Rosy Maple Moth.

All the best things.
