It’s #fatbat month! Female hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus) northwest California

Just read that a full 10% of US history has occurred after 9/11 and that just kind of broke my brain.

Chinook salmon have recolonised 88% of their historic range on the Klamath River, with more than 13,000 fish passing the old Iron Gate Dam site in 2025, up from 7,700 the year before. Two years after the dams’ removal, it’s going better than anyone predicted. buff.ly/pToC9gB #ShareGoodNewsToo

Target reported $1.88B in net income, pumped up by $1B in tariff refunds that WE paid for. Will customers see a dime back? No. Will workers get real raises? No. Target sure found $518M for cash dividends and still has $8.3B in authorized buybacks on the table though.

Really well written “advertisement” if you’re in North Carolina pick one up. Bats should start recovering there soon.
