I also discovered I have a bumper crop of aphids. ๐Ÿ™ƒ I'd be inclined to just let them be and let their natural predators deal with them, but I haven't hardly seen any wasps this year, and there's nary a ladybug in sight.

Might go spray some super mild dish soap and wipe off the majority.

Just saw a Monarch checking out the milkweed in my garden! Couldn't quite get a shot of that, since the flowers aren't open yet or didn't stick around for very long. But it knows where they are now!

I interrupted this Robin's bath time too. Oops.

Minnesotaโ€™s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman.

She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

This morning we drove to Bozeman Pride for @zoandbehold.bsky.social to speak, then went down to Yellowstone and saw incredible sights.

Then, on the drive back to Missoula at 1AM, the heavens erupted.

Naked eye visible aurora. The northern lights told us Happy Pride :)

Four panel severe weather outlook for Monday April 28

Four panel severe weather outlook for Monday April 28

I keep hearing about a planned NWS outage for tomorrow, meaning NOAA weather radios won't work. Can anyone confirm, sent, or clarify on this? Seems like a poor choice for such a high risk day.

I'm mostly concerned for overnight, when my phone isn't always enough to wake me up.

I have two deals closing on Wednesday, and the third on Friday. So of course, we're forecasted to have an insane severe weather outbreak on Monday. ๐Ÿซ 

I'm distracting myself with making bread, and envisioning a little protective dome over each each of my client's homes.

Robins apparently go by "astronomical dawn".

It is 4 fucking am, birds, go back to sleep. You're not making donuts.

If it was worthless they wouldn't have stolen it, and this should be obvious to everyone.

TWIBS: Annoying Failure Profits From Forfeiting Fencing Fight โ€” Assigned A cisgender fencer who regularly competes and wins against cisgender men refused to compete against a trans woman and was immediately showered in money and glory for it.

As is so often the case, its not about a supposed "athletic disadvantage," its about bigotry.

Look, for over a year, one brave Cassandra was warning you that massive tariffs were coming and that theyโ€™d wreak havoc on the economy. But no one listened to Donald Trump.
