Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles  WASHINGTON—Despite the president’s sagging approval rating overall, a Gallup Poll released Tuesday confirmed that Donald Trump’s support remained overwhelmingly strong among working-class American pedophiles. “Even though his polling numbers among Americans who are not sexually attracted to children have hit a second-term low, the president’s approval rating is still an impressive 80% among child rapists […]

Espike the tree porcupine likes being picked up by animal carers like @dinalab.bsky.social. And we like Espike's super cool nose and prehensile tail!

Tools are fine, but tools are also things we use with intention to solve particular tasks.

If you're out here using LLMs like Homer Simpson in the episode where he gets a gun, and destroying your cognitive functions and/or grip on reality in the process, people should judge/mock you harshly.

The United States is an autocracy. It's not "approaching autocracy" or "showing troubling signs". We are in an oppressive dictarship, right now, run by a criminal and illegitimate government.

I documented what I was able to see under water in artwork using an Open source brailler, BrailleRap !

Check out these really cool projects about ocean exploration and visual impairments!

It was fun to get to help out with these projects and "see" the ocean in a different way!

Some stupid asshole broke into our animal rescue and opened all the pens of the sloths being rehabilitated to "liberate" them.

Hilariously with all their pens open, not a single sloth bothered escaping. Hahahha

Personally, I think preventing and/or discouraging people from immigrating here is the longer term damage than the idiotic funding choices.

caked up mother earth in her thigh high fishnets is stomping in her stripper heels looking back at it. The words say "Milfs for Mother Earth

The earth is once again looking back at it in her fishnets but looks more coy in this one. The words say "Ok so climate change, a couple important things to note: 1) it's not too late to make a difference 2) Every 1/10th of a degree of warming matters 3) Governments need to do most of it 4) Acting as communities really matters. Here are some things we CAN do 1) Ditch cars, take transit 2) Switch to renewable energy 3) get solar for your roof 4)Share stuff, buy less 5) Don't use AI 6) talk to your friends and family about solutions. Details here (which points to a QR)

Mother earth looks at you over her sunglasses over the words "Do something" repeated a bunch of times, then under her it says "Doing anything is better than nothing", "learn how" and a qr

Mother earth is wearing a flower crown and peeking up from the bottom of the page. The words say "Biodiversity When it comes to protecting plants and animals, start by thinking local. Animals usually suffer most from habitat loss and climate change. Solving climate change is hard. Building habitat for wildlife is easier. Every action you take matters. Here's what we can do 1) Create good habitat by planting native plants 2) Stop using pesticides and get others to stop too 3) Kill your lawn, replace with useful plants 4) Fight to preserve wild spaces and to reclaim abandoned land 5) Encourage friends and family to do all this too"

I went into goblin mode last night and completed what is for sure the most unhinged zine I have produced to date.

I'll fold some up tonight and put them around and see how people react lol

If anyone is interested in printing one for your own enjoyment, here ya go drive.google.com/file/d/1eVEW...

Thanks!

A few people have gone out of their way to give me a really bad time about being on substack - right after I said I am leaving.

-Why aren't these folks happy I'm leaving, thanking me, pointing this out as an example?

-Why don't these folks punch up at the BIG people on substack?

I didn't know there was a whole "White Witch Watch!" When we found the white witch larva in Panama during the big Mothbox Expedition!

🚨🚨🚨 adsb.exposed has apparently added a bird mode

There was a lady next to me on the plane who started watching home alone, but then just fast forwarded to all the "Angels with Dirty Souls" segments and just kept watching those over and over.

Why do treehoppers look so weird?! Our latest paper, out this week in @pnas.org, suggests a perhaps unexpected reason - static electricity ⚡ We show that treehoppers can detect the electrostatic cues of predators and that their crazy shapes may boost their electrosensitivity! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...
